Check out this amazing pencil-drawn animation for Obra Dinn by Nora McIntyre (https://bsky.app/profile/noradora.bsky.social). Recaps the game brilliantly in 3rd person. Beautifully done, thank you Nora!

@alefunguju Damn, this is the form of my nightmares. With any luck “The Algorithm” will join the party. Thank you for all the info!

(Off topic) I didn’t write “Gosling Drives” and I have no idea who did. Why is it listed on my Spotify artist page you ask? Great question. If anyone knows what kind of scam this is, or why Spotify won’t fix it after multiple requests, I’m all ears.

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:

"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:
