Clair Obscur's first game, Expedition 33, is an absolute beast of a marvel, a game stunningly beautiful, breathtaking in every aspect, and most certainly the most beautiful game of the year, with the best original music, and probably the best game of the year as well. But the biggest surprise is probably that in order to achieve all this, the studio does not contained more than 30 persons, when for AAA games usual big studios dedicate multiple thousands (Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, etc) So, what is the takeaway? That passion plus dedication go a long way when dealing with artistic projects (of any kind).

Anya Nami - Closer to the moon Lyrics: La-la-la, la-la-la (...) Once in a while let me go wild Over the one I couldn't find living (La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la) You look kinda tired, things been defined We're tied up tight through space and time Breathe in (La-la, la-la, la-la, la-la) Will you disappoint me When I meet you here? Friend, will you feed me to your void That someone else cut out deep? But you make me feel Closer to the moon Than I've ever been Air's cold and clear If only you were here La, la, la-la-la, la, la-la, la-la (...) Whose is this look through my black glass? What's it they took from your soul, blessed, pure? Alas I'm losing my touch with the ground Did I just levitate or get drowned? Don't you dare fool me 'Cause you make me feel Closer to the moon Than I've ever been Air's cold and clear If only you were here Stranger from afar From beyond the stars I'm floating higher, higher It's foolishness of youth Illusions in the blue Trapped, clouded by desire Rest on my lap I'll gently tap Here on your head It's alright, it's okay But you're still unreal, that's a curse I'd eat every pixel of yours 'Cause you were designed just for me Drawn for me, for me, for me La-la-la, la-la-la (...)

I started coding and creating softwares back in 1992 (at 14 y.o.), at that time on #Amiga and with strange tools that no longer exist so no longer would allow anyone to build at that speed. But anyway. --- Back then, I was working on a 7 Mhz computer that had about 2-4 Mb of memory, 200-500 Mb of storage, and we were doing: word processing, sound editing, music editing, video editing was harder and needed more computing power (but it's the only difference that I think of), data processing, games, entertainment, etc. And softwares used to need 200-500Kb of memory in order to work, a couple of Mb of storage, took a couple of seconds to start (for the heaviest), and worked just fine! Now, 30 years after that, everyone can see that: we now have computers that have close to a thousand times the frequency (5 Ghz), a million times the computing power (if you take into account CPU+GPU+...), more than a thousand times the memory and storage capacity (16 Gb of memory and 1 Tb of storage), etc... but they also consume a thousand times the memory (500 Mb instead of 500Kb, on a Chrome tab for example), a thousand times the storage, and so they also take a couple of second to start, and they achieve their deeds in exactly the same way, with no gain whatsoever, in a couple of seconds. So is humanity progressing towards a goal (and if so, what is it?), or what is happening there? --- I can't wait to reach the year #2052, so that softwares who handle text and images at the same time (can you image?! how dare you) would with the same logic presumably consume: 5 Thz (amazing!), 16 Tb of memory (wooow!), a billion times the computing power (bazinga!), and terabytes of storage (at least!). What a beautiful time to be living in! I can't wait to see all the #convoluted new ways people express themselves into #heavier and #slower softwares who do exactly the same thing as in 1992: words, sounds, images and videos. How many layers of achieving absolutely #NOTHING could be added in before people start to realize that something's #wrong? https://wiki.amigaos.net/w/images/f/f0/Abiword.png https://wiki.amigaos.net/w/images/0/09/Audioevolution.gif

Just published the rebranded version of my blog, with a new interface 100% AI generated, that I think is beautiful I'm publishing there (since 2011) interesting ideas, sharing interesting things, classifying the used topics so that what's published stays ordered and accessible Now I'm thinking of opening the source code so that other people can install and run the same website engine. Who's interested? https://thomasgodart.com/
