Uncharted 4 almost got killed at year three. A guy from another Naughty Dog team played it and said "this game sucks" in front of the room. Corporate threatened to pull funding. The original creative lead walked out. Two new directors took over and threw out eight months of finished story to start again.

200 people worked on this game every day for five years. On PS4, Drake's face had 1,200 individual moving parts. The PS3 version had 250. They built him 800 different facial expressions. The third game had 120. His climbing animations alone took up more space than everything else Drake could do in the previous game combined.

The game has about 1,000 little story scenes that play between the action. One single animator made 120 of them. The whole main game runs about 15 hours.

Some of the work was strange. Drake's chest hair moves in the wind because someone realized the grass animation code worked on hair too. They left it in. Animators went to a climbing gym to figure out how a person shifts weight on different ledges. In the game, Drake's fingers come together on small handholds, and his whole body shakes when he's reaching too far. Climbers do that.

The cost was real people. The team pulled 12-hour-plus days through the final stretch. After the game shipped, 14 of the 20 designers below team-lead level quit. The game director took extended time off and never came back to the studio. He said he would never make another Uncharted 4 because they had "lived through that."

The game sold 18 million copies. It still has an average review score of 93 out of 100, ten years later. Clips of the gameplay still get compared favorably to PS5 games launching right now. That kind of polish is what 200 people grinding for five years on one project buys you. 70% of the design team walked out after launch.

How would you handle this style? @studio_spud used Moho to animate this Life Magazine ad from 1940.
And they nailed it! Would you have guessed that it's a 2D vector animation?

[Football Talk @FootballTalkHQ]

🗣️ Andy Robertson: “I need to start with a confession. Not many things bug me, but if there’s one thing that does, it’s the idea that my story is a football fairy tale.

I know when people say I’m some sort of Cinderella Man that it’s meant as a compliment. I appreciate that, but to be totally honest, it doesn’t feel like one, because it isn’t true.

No magic wands have been waved in my direction, I didn’t win some kind of lottery to land a spot on one of the biggest clubs in the world. The reason why I’m a Liverpool player is the same reason why I’m captain of my country: I’ve worked my bollocks off to get where I am, and by doing that, I’ve been able to make the most of whatever talent I have.

Why does this matter? In truth, it doesn’t matter to me as an individual. It probably doesn’t matter to my family, either. It only matters because there are God knows how many little Andy Robertsons out there. Kids who are struggling to convince people that their talent deserves an opportunity. Kids who just need a break to get to wherever they deserve to be.

Kids who might give up if they start believing that only a fairy tale can save them.

I’ve never wanted to be a poster boy, but if I’m going to be a poster boy for anything, it should be this ― if you don’t give up, and if you carry on believing in yourself when others are doubting you, you can make it. You can show that you are good enough.”

Stellan Skarsgård on his worldviews

"My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it"

"In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people"

Pavement is performing on The Late Show tonight! Their last stop with Colbert was in 2010 on The Colbert Report, where they played Gold Soundz

What song do you hope they’ll play this time? Any guesses? ♡
