Everyone’s favorite ember in the wind! Ol Gildun, what a gem. Anyone else sob during his quest in Burning Shores? I need that man to join up with Morlund’s crew in H3

Some @focusontheheart behind the scenes:

Although he never made an appearance in the game, Gildun helped me to explain the artists how to design the sprites for the characters to feel alive in-game.

More details under the cut.

We created different arm poses, mouths, irises, eyes, brows, and overlays (like blush, or injuries), to mix them and achieve an incredible number of different expressions for the main characters.

The artists created a minimum of 32 sprites per character. Some of them had 3 times more because of the different states.

We hope you enjoyed their emotions! 💖✨

HZD Terraforming Base-001 Text Communications Network

A masterpost for all my #HZDBaseChat chapters. Also available on AO3.

GAIA set up a communications network for Aloy and her friends. Aloy had no idea what they were getting into. Or: I realized that a groupchat fic actually makes PERFECT SENSE in Forbidden West. Uploading this to Tumblr in celebration of Forbidden West being released on PC. There will be one chapter daily until they’re all up.
