Hi, I’m Isa! I’m a costume and props designer and maker for film, TV and games promotion. I occasionally cosplay and make videos about that. Also, I love TTRPGs!

Two side by side photos of a woman wearing a costume of gold and turquoise armour inspired by traditional Islamic armour with a connical helmet and a halo mounted on the back of it.

Two photos of two different pieces side by side. On the left is a baby triceratops puppet made from latex, posed perched over a tree branch with her mouth open. On the right is a model wearing a prosthetic makeup with horns growing from her head and long curly red hair.

I would be fascinated as to the development of Yasuke and Naoe as protagonists. I guess with the development time they would have been conceptualising that at a time where diversity was still largely "in", then releasing after far right rhetoric and anti-wokeness was completely normalised

Yeah I think we've had multiple long conversations about this and I agree, it's so obvious Elise was supposed to be playable, at least as a dual protagonist with Arno (iirc this was like, semi-confirmed by those reports)

Isa / EvilCleverDog @evilcleverdog.bsky.social · 11h

devs would push for solo female and nonwhite protagonists and get pushback from execs, especially for mainline games. (Freedom Cry being a DLC and Liberation being a side release on a dying platform) So it seems like a miracle we got Evie, Aya and Kassandra at all.

And only having characters like Kassandra and Eivor if they can have a male counterpart, too. Kassandra was supposed to be the solo protaognist. And Aya was supposed to be a dual protagonist with Bayek.

When all the awful stuff about Ubi came out, I remember there was also talk from devs about how

Yessss and I LOVE the character creation system with multiclassing/true customisation at the forefront

They should've had a Halloween ep of Voyager where Tom Paris explains the ancient earth tradition of "trick or treat" to an incredulous Seven who says something like "that is an inefficient means of aquiring candy," & he makes a holodeck recreation of a suburb so the whole crew can trick or treat 🎃

This would’ve slapped but Ubisoft took the coward’s route and capitulated to racists. A shame.

Extra ironic considering they’ve had two previous Assassin’s Creed releases where you play as a Black character who kills slavers and frees slaves.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

That's good! Me and my partner are now looking at moving from Spotify to either Tidal or Deezer (Deezer has an explicitly anti-AI policy, not sure about Tidal, haven't looked into it yet)

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
