Emotion Circuits

Creating amusement. Connecting circuits.

Meet Diana.

Ex-soldier. Modified survivor.

Searching for her mother in the last city that still matters.

This is the face of Hope!

Lo primero que cambié fue la luz.

No por estética.

Por que sin eso, el lugar no se sentía bien.

The first thing I changed was the light.

Not for aesthetics.

Because without it, the place didn't feel right.

El nivel 1 todavía no es lo que imagino.

Y probablemente no llegue.

Así se ve el camino hasta ahora.

Level 1 still isn’t what I imagine.

And it probably won’t be.

This is what the journey looks like so far.

Diana no eligió el brazo biónico.

Se lo pusieron.

Nuevo Dispatch exclusivo.

La historia que no había contado.

[Emotion Circuits @emotioncircuits]

Diana didn't choose the bionic arm.

They put it on her.

New exclusive Dispatch.

The story I hadn't told.

Hice tres versiones de la animación de correr de Diana.

Me quedé con la lateral.

No es la más compleja. Es la más honesta con el personaje.

El por qué está en el nuevo Dispatch

[Emotion Circuits @emotioncircuits]

I made three versions of Diana’s run animation.

I kept the lateral one.

Not the most complex. The most honest with the character.

Why? - in the new Dispatch -

Diana no evita el conflicto porque no pueda.
Lo evita porque sabe exactamente lo que costaría.
Nuevo Dispatch.

She knows how to fight.
She chooses not to.
That’s the point.
New dispatch: why stealth exists in Hope City.

[Emotion Circuits @emotioncircuits]

Broken men get trilogies.

Broken women get judged.

Diana gets neither.

She gets to exist.

It’s personality expressed through movement.

I wrote about the Normal Punch and the philosophy behind it in the new Emotion Circuits Dispatch.

Some things are public.
Others go deeper.

When designing Diana’s combat, I started simple.

It’s an action–adventure–stealth game.
There have to be punches.

She has a bionic arm.
So I built a combo inspired by boxing: jab, hook, spinning kick.

But combat isn’t just systems.

[Emotion Circuits @emotioncircuits]

Someone made fanart of Diana.

I wrote about this moment in the new Emotion Circuits Dispatch
