It’s pretty much all mismanagement. Adopting new tech prematurely? Mismanagement. Changing creative direction in production? Mismanagement. Iterating on content 3+ times? Mismanagement. Adding major features in production? Mismanagement.

Poor planning, failure to follow plans - all mismanagement.
Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement.

This week's column is a spicy one: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Why So Many Video Games Cost So Much to Make
Graphical fidelity is only part of the reason that game budgets have swelled to hundreds of millions of dollars

Hey everyone, it was really hard to do this… but after getting sent to the ER this past week and a list of health issues I’ve been unable to fix for yrs has finally caught up to me, I can no longer be stubborn… it would mean the world to me if you shared this or took a look.

Also, I gotta ask, is this app dead like cara? I see almost no real engagement and posts seem to be slow as a trickle.

Ifrit boss design done for New worlds. I basically put the elden ring on a stick and had a good chuckle.

I am a Huge Fan of the Outer worlds, and would love a chance to design something for them. I would love to see some hover bikes if the world maps get bigger and facilitate longer travel.

I dont normally post my demos for the classes I teach, but I figured why not? this is for a class at Ichen art Academy for the intermediate digital class, where I teach middle to high schoolers my knowledge on digital art and photoshop.

Usagi Sticker Design I made as stickers, which i still have some and give out to friends. I originally designed it so the white areas were holographic.
