Listen "S4 E132 Star Citizen: 60 Seconds of Horror (Jun 2024)"
Episode Synopsis
A compelling and powerful story of one man's quest to remain sane on an isolated planet. This is a very effective story by Lens Nation, given its only 60 seconds long - its probably not just this one creator's worst nightmare in a game, but several of us. Check out our review and don't forget to give us some feedback on your thoughts too. 1:01 Ricky introduces the film and his critique of it, suggesing Lovecraftian tones to the story 6:17 Tracy comments on the sound design and why the lack of sound works so well 14:14 Phil feels the film is analagous to Moon and Sam Rockwell's portrayal of a character - the sense of isolation in games is a real testiment to the immersive that's possible 21:09 Damien reflects on those isolated NPCs - and reminds us about that classic line: 'its not that you're afraid of being alone int he dark, its that you're afraid of not being alone in th dark'! 22:38 The compelling role of ambiguity 25:30 Copyright and why NPCs are likely to have a bigger role in future machinima 26:15 Brief introduction to our new generative AI of Ricky, more in our next episode Credits - Speakers: Ricky Grove, Phil Rice, Tracy Harwood, Damien Valentine Producer/Editor: Phil Rice Music: Animo Domini Beats
