    My very first attempt I tried to make everything a modular component, and it became too rigid and difficult to use. Yesterday's attempt had too little modularity and I was ending up writing the same code over and over. We'll see if I can strike the right balance today.

    Each "shot" is a bucket I can throw code into. Some shots are generic (move the camera from point A to B while looking at object C). Others can be more bespoke (wait until object X is finished with its animation and then move the camera to position A).

    I *think* the key is to have a cinematic object composed of one or more "shots". The cinematic is generic and handles repetitive tasks: fading a scrim in and out, sliding cinematic frames in and out, telling the scene handler when the cinematic is finished, and so forth.

    Yesterday I was again defeated in my attempt to build a cinematic system. Good start, but devolved into the same convoluted mass as past attempts. Trying to step back and look at the whole problem. I need a modular system to handle the following 👇

    Or this—much more interesting than I gave myself credit for at the time. Not sure if time and space is required, or if there's some way to see whatever my current work is in a brighter light.

    Just met with to discuss sound design for How We Speak To Ourselves—he had some very unique, interesting, creative ideas that I am genuinely excited to explore.

    I've never really strung so many scenes, menus, and cinematics together, and I've been really struggling to wrap my head around it. Finally took a step back to diagram out what I want.

    Working on a game in a very literal sense this morning.

    At that point where I need to bite the bullet and do all the boring stuff 😐 But I have a plan to build it in a generic way, so it can all be easily imported into future projects.

    Observation 3: good composition means they don't need to fill the scene up with all kinds of stuff to make it interesting. Same goes with a really good use of darks. Doesn't need to be complicated to be striking (quite the opposite!).

    Overvation 2: while assets have very simple geometry, they have thoughtful attention to detail. The buildings are often little more than boxes—but they have a lovely gradient, what appears to be slight color variation on each face, and small suggestive details. Simple but rich.

    Observation 1: by keeping the scene simple, they've often been able to be suggestive rather than literal. A handful of bricks on the side of a building suggest a material. A smattering of leaves suggest a tree.

    Finally started playing . Stunning art direction. I've actually taken to studying various assets and scenes by sketching them out. The shot below is like a master class in elegant use of a minimal design language.

    I walked into the lost woods and was blown away. How did they make such deep, mysterious woods without any trees! Smoke and mirrors. So impressive.
