On the one hand, Annapurna seems to know what they’re doing - Nimona was fantastic. On the other hand, I think it’s going to be hard to make this into a movie. I’m assuming they’ll focus on the journey of the cat and the environment around it, but they’ll have to fill all of the other space, hopefully with the robots and their personalities.
Took me cost me closer to 10, and you can wait for sales.
I thought it was just a “walk around” game. Boy was I wrong. Best game I’ve played in a long time, constantly engaged in the entire story. Yes it’s worth it.
I hope the cat in the movie will look more natural than the one in the game.
In the game, the animation looks great. I’m sure they took a lot of effort with the motion capture.
But there is something weird about the cat’s face. It just doesn’t look like a cat, no realistically, not cartoonish either. Perhaps some adjustment in the facial modelling will help.
Astartes. I’m not a warhammer person at all but I’ve seen this short film about 5 times now. Just from an artistic standpoint it is super impressive. Highly recommended.
There are lots of options for roleplayers who want to bring the Witcher to the table in the meantime, of various levels of complexity. There’s On the Path for something fun and streamlined, or Vaesen and Ironsworn for a bit more meat. You could use Monster of the Week or Bump in the Dark if you’re willing to move the setting into a more Witchery direction.
And if you’d rather stick with a system you’re more familiar with, there are supplements like Into the Wyrd and Wild or The Perilous Wilds that allow you to put your players through dangerous evirons on the trail of unique monsters.
Not shocking. I just hope people learn from this and react by not getting into the gaming industry until the shortage of workers forces it to change. Same thing with the entertainment industry outside of gaming at large.
The way the movie / tv industry treats most of its employees who aren't at the very top is just horrible, and if people didn't have such stars in their eyes for Hollywood and such, working conditions would be so much better all around, along with pay and mandatory breaks.
I've been in the entertainment industry, and so has my sister. It's amazingly how terrible people are treated, including crew and lower end actors, and all for a product that's not really necessary or all that important for the survival of the world. People don't think about it, but we've been around for MILLIONS of years without TV and Movies. Sure there were plays and such, but it doesn't take much for humanity to amuse itself. Simple conversations, board games, some sticks and balls... if the writer / actor strikes kept going on, and new content stopped coming out, it'd suck at first, but we'd get used to it.
I work at a company which doesn’t make games, but interacts with a lot of game devs, and employs a lot of ex-game devs; and everyone I work with is either glad they got out of game dev or glad they skipped it altogether.
I used to work for a very reasonable (smaller) game studio, and while it was fun, I still got a massive pay and quality-of-life improvement by changing careers away from making games.
I get it Roleplaying games are the Hot shit, and im more them happy to welcome everyone into a great and fullfilling Hobby, but at the same time it feels like the market is saturated. In last 2 years alone ive seen the annoucement of whole RPG Systems by:
*The witcher
*dark souls
*gloomhaven
*assasins creed
*Stormlight Archive
*Candela Obscura by Critical role
And those where just the ones that reached my ear.
On the other Hand im All for more diversity in the TTRPG community, currently D&D takes way to much space for how Bad the quality of offical books is.
