Pentiment - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1205520/Pentiment/ A narrative most unexpected by Obsidian Entertainment. A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXq20gant-4 Set in 16th century Bavaria, Pentiment will take players on a narrative journey through the eyes of Journeyman Artist Andreas Maler during a time of great social unrest. Led by game director Josh Sawyer, this game is brought to life by a talented team inspired by illuminated manuscripts, woodcut prints, and history itself. The scope of Andreas’ Wanderjahre was largely framed by historical accounts of where artists traveled and worked during this time - most notably, Albrecht Dürer. josh sawyer posted:E: In this time period, at the end of a craftsman's (uncommonly, some women as well, mostly in the Low Countries) Wanderjahre, they would settle in a city, marry (a requirement for becoming a master), and submit a Meisterstück (literally "masterpiece") to the guild for approval before opening a workshop. The most common artists' guild in this time and area was the Guild of St. Luke - though it was notably absent in the city of Nuremberg, where guilds had been abolished and approval was gained though municipal councils. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhVh7xycESA Pentiment quote:An underlying image in a painting, especially one that has become visible when the top layer of paint has turned transparent with age, providing evidence of revision by the artist. j saw posted:"This has a bunch of significance, obviously you're playing a painter, but also has a lot of significance to the idea of history being covered and uncovered over time." Art style blending late medieval illuminated manuscripts with early modern woodcuts and artists like Albrecht Dürer and Brueghel the Younger  Hannah Kennedy is the art director here charged with marrying those two styles with looking and playing out like the kind of game they had imagined. why the inventor of shorts for pokemon trainers is particularly passionate about this project and some more details about the setting, circumstances, history, and character you play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sFsO6MrtAs Basic Chunnel posted:
ropekid posted:We have a much better sense (we think!!) of how 16th century peasants and burghers lived than the lower classes in antiquity. Obviously to a certain extent we're always going on faith and our best interpretations of records left behind, but even archaeological records of buildings, tools, etc. are better. We also have more contemporaneous artwork of peasants and other laborers through the work of people like Dürer, Brueghel the Younger, et al. js posted:"Gameplay is much like Oxenfree or Night in the Woods where you spend most of your time walking around the environment, meeting with characters, talking to them, learning the motives & motivations people might have had to the murder, looking at evidence -- and then sort of ultimately presenting it to the arbiters because you're not a judge, you're an artist." They had one of these "code wheel" puzzles in the trailer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvelle Khanstant fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Nov 16, 2022 |

very interested to see what the "maleshep soldier" Andreas variant is in this one. Presumably it's Hedonist-Occultist. Throwing it back Count Stenbock style: developing relationships with life-sized dolls, investigating mysteries both criminal and metaphysical, being gay as hell.

Italy is am obvious choice for German-word-for-travelling-and-learning, it's a place of birth of Leonardo DaVinci, Nicolo Machiavelli and Ezio Auditore. Bookworm and Logician sounds like a vanilla choice. You work with books and destroying catholics with Facts and Logic sounds very safe.

quote:“One of the key things in the game is that we do not ever definitively tell you, canonically, [who] the murderer [is],” Sawyer explains. “You have to investigate, find as much evidence as you can. You make your decisions based on whatever you think is most important. You are basically deciding who's going to pay for the crime. That can be the person that you think actually did it. That can be the person that you think should be punished, whether or not they did it. Maybe it's the person you like least. Maybe it's the person you think that the community will miss the least.” from IGN Noooo 😭 I hate when games do this I want to be 100% unvaguely right about fictional crimes

A penis tree or two wouldn't be out of place though. Edit: Maybe the odd rear end-trumpet. The main character is a journeyman artist after all. itry fucked around with this message at 13:55 on Jun 16, 2022 |

rope kid posted:Procession to Calvary uses actual Renaissance art, chopped up and repurposed in a Terry Gilliam-ish style. Our art style is a combination of late Medieval and early modern (northern Renaissance), so not that far off. how did you convince microsoft to let you make a narrative adventure set in 16th century bavaria and how many of your career-long dreams did this fulfill

I love all the attention given to fonts both in PoE and especially Pentiment. I know ropekid had a few tweets related to the Pentiment fonts on twitter but I hope we get a deep dive video on them.

I wonder how does it work with localisation. Nowadays Cyrillic languages localisations are probably dead for a while, but before that they usually suffered from the fact that many fancy fonts don't have a Cyrillic version. Obviously ropekid's will make sure German version is right, but there's also, say, Polish which has ą cóól śęt of łetterż.

I know you said you've had the idea to make this game for like a decade, but how long ago did the game actually start spinning up to be made? I guess that should be phrased as "when did pre-production begin?" Did you pitch it before you'd finished working on Deadfire? I'm assuming yes, but I also have next to no idea how game production works so  If you can't answer, that's fine too.
