Whatever happened to beautiful artwork?
This looks like it was slapped together in GIMP by a no talent twitter addicted tranny in under 2 hours.

Whatever happened to beautiful artwork?

What you're really asking is what happened to people capable of it, and the scope of the answer to that would result in Shill-tron moving the illuminating post to a different section of the forum.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

This game is explicitly not a Disco Elysium clone. In terms of gameplay it's inspired by artsy indie games such as Night in the Woods and Oxenfree.

but does it endorse communism

Got you covered with a similarly artsy indie game, fam.

People capable of making good art today know better than to give their efforts to an industry known for shitty working conditions and pay (same happens with capable programmers). Artists literally can make more money shilling their patreons than making art for a game, which is something they might do once for exposure but that's it. A company that cares might go and seek good artists but now that matters little as Obsidian now has to obey Microsoft's budgeting concerns. You can't do a passion project like this right under big management.

If this Wasn't an XBox exclusive, I'd honestly be interested. Just from a system design perspective.

It's not an Xbox exclusive.

but its still shit so who cares

i can see the avalanche of excuses is about to begin

lets face the harsh reality, this game presentation just looks like shit

i can already see the excuses... b-b-but microsoft only gave soyer 20 bucks for game, poor soyer.

well guess what, random people on twitter made better medieval art. and so did AI websites which are free

money is not an excuse for 0 creativity and 0 gamplay

reminder that soyer gets paid $250k a year to make this garbage

system design here will be on par with 2006 flash games

sadly gameplay wont

one wonders why someone responsible for a company being bought out gets rewarded with such a nice job instead of fired

 

[Haba]

Roguey you gonna play this? Or pass on nuu-josh?

I'm not interested.

It is kinda worrying when the author xirself doesn't care for the game...

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Looks like a remake of Encarta 95.

FFS, do not and I mean DO NOT compare this to Encarta game MindMaze which was an actual fun game that taught you real stuff.
