Whatever criticisms I may have with The Short Message, it definitely gave me one of my new favorite Silent Hill monster designs. Masahiro Ito never fails to deliver.

I do kind of wish that the lighting in the game was more reminiscent of the lighting in the game's concept art. That rosy tint looks so good, especially with how it reflects off the cherry blossoms, making them almost glow in a way.

We all know Hildur Guðnadóttir for her work on Chernobyl and Joker, or Natalie Holt for her work on Loki. But a lot of female composers still don't get the recognition they deserve. So here's a thread of female film and game composers I know who I highly recommend checking out!

A detail I've always really liked about the Half-Life 1 zombies is that you can see the outline of the person's skull beneath the headcrab. It's a shame this design choice didn't carry over in the other games.

A reminder to all game devs to not give up. Game development is hard. And making a working game that people can actually play is something to be incredibly proud of. It's okay if things go slow. A small amount of progress is still better than no progress. #gamedev #indiedev
