A bikini and sunglasses on a Friday in March... why not?
About work...
This week I've been focusing on doing some comic sketches and finishing resizing and adding images to the Mastermind project, now officially called Dungeons and Dames.
I've made some videos to show you how it's coming along, but now I'm wondering if they'll stay on YouTube long enough, because I don't know if they'll be safe enough, anyway...
I've also written a few pages for the next game update, because my plan is to finish that project around summer and then start another one. Which one? I don't know.
You may be wondering about the next part of Night Lessons. Well, if you read this every Friday, you already know, but I've finished the main story and am working occasionally on the
worst part of the game: the backgrounds. I hate doing backgrounds, but the game needs them.
There's no work sample today, sorry, but here's Loretta's character sheet:
The picture...
Elizabeth Daily, Deborah Foreman, and Heidi Holicker in Valley Girl (1983)
I haven't seen it, but there's something that strikes me when I see screenshots or trailers from old movies. I don't know what it's called, but I'm pretty sure there are some photographic effects that were different in these old movies. It's as if everything now seems very plastic to me. Maybe the old ones had some kind of noise effect? Don't today's digital cameras have some kind of filter to emulate that?
It's probably just a nostalgic feeling. After all, I have the same biases as everyone else, even though I try to fight them.
Aside work...
I'm about to finish the book I'm reading on fake news and digital manipulation. I think it's a really good work.
I'm pretty sure you can find even better ones in English on the same subject.
What's the subject, you may ask? Well, basically the structure of cases such as Cambridge Analytica to name something more or less related, although it's not a specific case, but rather other companies or parts of armies.
Well, without a doubt, next time I think I'll need to read something more cheerful.
I started to play another game, Crypt Stalker.
It's like a classic 8-bit Castlevania, good enough to spend a few hours playing. I don't know if I'll have enough patience to finish it, but so far it's very good.
I'll put the link here in case you want to check it out!

The song...
Because I found the video of 1983 Daicon IV Opening. man, what an amazing thing!
Electric Light Orchestra - Twilight
Just in case you didn't watch the DAICON video!

Is it possible that I've already shared this before? I don't think you'll blame me for it, right?
Stay safe and take care, guys!
Thanks for your support!
