Experimenting with style. Loved working on this one. Especially at the end when I realized the horse is kinda just standing there like a sim ominously staring out into the distance.

LEVERAGING PARAMETERS 1/2

Figma

Figma—a collaborative design tool start-up that Adobe bought last year for $20 billion—was born out of a diversion caused by parameters. When founder Dylan Field set out to build the company, his focus was on drones. In his application for the Theil Fellowship program, he wrote, "I am going to change the world by creating a better software for UAVs." However, his friend and cofounder Evan Wallace eventually convinced him to shift directions from the drone space since they “couldn’t come up with a drone idea that didn’t hurt people or violate their privacy.” This apparent roadblock ultimately became a helpful parameter that allowed the founders to build a bold new tool that transformed the collaborative design process.

The New Toy

Brought home a new computer on Tuesday. It had been on order for a couple of weeks. It's a 15-inch MacBook Air, the newest model, with an M2 chip, 24Gb of RAM, and 2TB of solid state drive.

It's a sweet machine, and I've been spending a couple of days preparing it for our trip to Oregon, when I'll be using it to continue the work I do for church and my recovery fellowship. (I don't officially turn over control of these positions until the end of August, but I'm certain to keep providing some training for a while.)

The old laptop has served me faithfully since 2010, but it has reached the limit of its ability to upgrade to new operating systems. It's already stuck on Catalina, which 10.15. Apple is getting ready to introduce Sonoma, which is version 14. Even my desktop won't be able to go there, so another new machine is in the near future.

Perhaps. It might turn out that the new laptop will be sufficient to do all the work that will need doing in the future. And while the desktop has had a few glitches lately, it's behaving nicely at the moment. I'm not rushing to put in an order, especially since the newest desktop models don't have the lovely big screen that old one does.

I've finished uninstalling all the Adobe products from the old laptop and installing them on the new machine. Not all of them, either, since I've yet to use everything available. Just a few standard options for the time being.

And I wound up not trying to "restore" the old laptop to the new one. Again, there's way too much on there that's not needed, at least in terms of applications, and the files I work with have been maintained on the desktop and moved over as needed.

Which is what I am doing now with the new machine: stocking up on the files and assets I know I will need during our three weeks in Oregon. No need to send over everything. Plus it's easier than ever to use the little SSD drives I have purchased lately for external storage.

Jerry N. Uelsmann (born June 11, 1934) is an American photographer and was an early exponent of photomontage in the 20th century in America. His work in darkroom effects foreshadowed the use of Adobe Photoshop to make surrealistic images in the late 20th century, a process led by his now-ex-wife, Maggie Taylor, at that time. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1967, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1972, and the Lucie Award in Fine Art in 2015. He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, a founding member of The Society of Photographic Education.

[my own game] #33 – game prologue

Challenge: How can I create an introduction video about my 2D elemental platformer which tells the game story?

I wanted to create a short video which tells the story of the game and add it before the player starts the game. The goal of the video is tell the game story to the player so that they are aware of it while playing the game in order to have the full experience.

Methodology

The main inspiration for the way of telling the story was Galadriel’s prologue from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I watched the beginning of the movie in order to see how she tells the story and then found the script in order to use some parts of it when telling our story. I tweaked the story we already had in our game concept document so that it sounds better when told after which I recorded myself telling the story. The audio file was edited by my teammate who removed any background noise so that my voice could be heard clearly. Furthermore, I edited the video in Adobe Premiere and added music and other background sounds which would fit the story and my intonation. After that, I created a new Unity scene where they video is played and added a skip button with confirmation message so the player can move on with the game if the wish to. Finally, I looked at community posts and Unity’s documentation about how to make the main menu scene start immediately after the video stops.

The video now tells the story in a simple way and the main focus is on sound design. The visuals are black and white which I like, personally, but still I would like to add some suitable visuals such as concept arts which support the story in order to make the experience more impactful for the people who are watching.
