Playdead spat out a series of incredible GDC talks after their game INSIDE. They did a full presentation on the ending of the game [0] as a collab between engineering, rendering and art.

It’s fascinating just to see the creativity, but also a teaching moment on striking the balance between tight, accurate engineering and enough hack&mirrors to pass inspection.

Definitely an interesting read, but I was expecting Benalish Hero and Mesa Pegasus instead. https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Banding

Occasionally these really old cards feature in draft formats on Magic Online and it’s very satisfying to completely wreck the uninitiated.

Yes! I remember thinking the same thing about those Skyrim loading screens: 'My GPU and monitor can output millions of colors, and my monitor only has about 2 million pixels. Why do these look so bad?[0]' I've always wondered if dithering would help, and how it would be implemented.

God this guy is such an inspiration. Reading this devlog is giving me goosebumps. I finished the game a couple days ago. To know he made this entire thing (music included).. mindblowing

Only some scenic drawings where commissioned I think, yea. Super impressive. I'm glad "Papers Please" seems to have been enough of a hit to enable him to build this.
