"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.

For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:

It's over 2.5 hours long so expect to get real damn sick of my voice.

I built a custom set of tools to record my 3D edits during the development of Obra Dinn, and even more junk to generate the output timelapse video. This same data (minus the character stuff) was used to create a more stylized and less chatty "schematic timelapse" video back in 2020:

@dukope Seven years! Time flies. I still haven't played this though I intend to one day. I remember reading or watching a video about how you chose the dithering method that was super interesting.

@rocky1138 @dukope I enjoyed it with my wife a few months ago and it was an awesome experience highly recommended.
A great puzzle experience to share or to post by yourself, but great in any case.
