Meet Industria 2: the original game was memorable due to very nice #ArtDirection and horrible performance (due to their shadows implementation).
It was created with Unreal Engine 4 by a tiny team and they only used Blueprints with ZERO LINES of C++
Let's see if they gonna make a better game this time!

KNSB Tower in Sofia vs City 17 Citadel. Viktor Antonov (the art director of Half-Life 2 and Dishonored) grew up in Sofia. This is why there are so many signs in Bulgarian (even in Half-Life Alyx).

The most ambitious #Animation series of the year (6 episodes are out) and you may've not even noticed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWQH8cMpWTU
Surprisingly, Scavengers Reign wasn't created in 2023: originally, it was a short film, available on YouTube.
And before that it was a series of works and ideas by Jean "Moebius" Giraud. He worked on Fifth Element, The Abyss, Dune, and other movies, but has his own artictic universe. I'll add his art in our chat!
Based on Moebius works, Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner created the original Scavengers in 2017:

Yet again #ArtDirection wins over "realism" and "good graphics": the game looks dated and it looks AWESOME! Meanwhile SW Outlaws has exceptional RTGI and it looks forgettable.

How did we get here from this? We need better industrial design, better software design, and better games too — not realistic, but artistic intent. Even for an indie game, don't accept mediocrity, embrace challenges, make it look better in UI, materials, shapes, lights, even movements.

Yes: the original Pacific Rim is worth watching for anyone who wish to craft own visual language and artistic vision, even if it seems that this topic (giant robots and monsters in PR case) is already done in all possible shapes and colors!

Why Is Anime So... Weird?
Anime has a lot of things it does differently than other animation, and that can be off-putting to people watching it for the first time.
Things like: Why is anime Hair so Weird? Why is the lip sync bad? Why is time weird in anime?
Here I give some reasons…

IDK about you, folks, but thanks to @discomode I'm playing Infinity Nikki — a gacha game where your powers are in your dresses. And yes, I'm a pink-hair waifu. And I like it... UPD: What the heck, the game is actually a FIFTH iteration of a huge dressing…
Honestly, I'm impressed with artistic choices, but the art director of Infinity Nikki definitely deserved his role!
It's Unreal Engine 5 and RTX Accelerated version of Lumen lighting system.
There is even their official interview about switching to Unreal Engine: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/developer-interviews/behind-the-scenes-of-infinity-nikki-tracing-a-glamorous-turn-to-an-unreal-open-world
The trick is: they haven't just adopted the engine, their rendering developers recreated lots of features, like Order-Independent Transparency (OIT). Imagine, that folks can do rendering in a gacha about dresses, but AAA games are all using the default UE.
