Raya And The Last Dragon: I Was Able To Watch Only 30 Minutes

In this post I will give my opinion on the Disney animated film Raya and the Last Dragon (2021). I cannot call it a review like before because just as the title suggests, I have watched about half a hour of the film before I went shopping with my family but I have never returned… Read more

Gravity Falls: Main Characters’ Arcs

In this post I want to look at and analyse character arcs of the main cast of Gravity Falls cartoon series (Disney, Alex Hirsch, 2012-2016). I love this series and appreciate that it told its full story without some tedious number of filler action like, for instance, Steven Universe. The narrative of Gravity Falls is… Read more

Neverness To Everness: An Urban Anime Adventure

This time I would like to give a review of a video game “Neverness to Everness” which came out at the end of April this year but already was able to create quite a lot of hype around itself. Many people call it gacha GTA, some call it Ananta copycat, even though Ananta has not… Read more

Saloon Simulator: A Wild Journey In The Wild West

This post will be a review of a very atmospheric game called Saloon Simulator. Developed by Glivi Games S.A. and published by Rock Games S.A., the game is in early access right now with chapter 3 being in development. To begin with, I have to say that the word “simulator” in it’s title doesn’t give… Read more

Suzume – A Poetic Tale Of Healing Trauma

This post will be my first anime review. This time I will talk about Suzume (2022, lit. Suzume’s Locking Up), a film by Makoto Shinkai. He is a film director who is widely known for being able to capture ordinary life in Japan in the most magical and poetic manner. This specific feature talks about… Read more

Zootopia 2: An Entertaining World Of Clichés

So, I went to the cinema a couple of weeks ago to see Zootopia 2 and I wish to write about it. I’ve got both, good and bad things to tell about the film. What is more, I can say that the bad out weighted the good for me, but overall, I’d give the film… Read more

Over the Garden Wall: A Modern Bildungsroman

This post will be about the mini cartoon series – Over the Garden Wall (by Patrick McHale, 2014). This is one of the modern masterpieces that capitalises on classical literature in the best way possible. Akin to how American McGee’s Alice (2000) takes the best decorations from the Alice in Wonderland story (by Lewis Carroll,… Read more

Symbolism of Colour in Genshin Impact

Since I am an avid theory crafter in Genshin Impact, I wanted to focus on one of many aspects in Genshin Impact that I really like. Precisely today I will write about symbolism of colour within the game. There are several points which sometimes get overlooked and I may myself overlook some, but regardless I… Read more

Bugs Bunny: Lost In Time – A forgotten treasure

In this blog I try to write about either popular titles or some timeless classics but today it will be a bit different. I want to talk about one of my favourite games from my childhood – Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time. This is a game for PlayStation 1 (and Windows apparently) developed by Infogrames… Read more

Schedule 1: An addictive game about drugs

Today I want to talk about what is a relatively new hit indie game – Schedule 1 – and what makes it so popular from gameplay point of view. This game was made by one person, Tylor, who seems to know the most important part of an video game – fun. His game turned to… Read more

I shall describe the chief ideas of the three part structure based of… Read more

Chants of Sennaar: Anchorites’ Language Analysis

Alright, this is the final post on the Chants of Sennaar languages. This one is about the Anchorites’ language. These people are also known as the Exiles and I may refer to them as such at times. This is the final language and it’s acquisition in game is much faster than with the previous languages… Read more

Colour Theory in Game Design: White, Black & Common Markers

This is the continuation of the previous post on colour theory. It will tacle the black and white colours and also some common colour markers that are used in games. It’s important to keep them in mind when developing your first game because these markers compose the “colour code” of games and breaking away from… Read more

Colour Theory in Game Design: Primary Colours

This post will tacle the topic of primary colours in game design. I will try to go over both, character design and environment since the principles here are very similar.

Chants of Sennaar: Alchemists’ Language Analysis

It’s already the fourth post in the series, second to last. It’s also my favourite language – the Alchemists’ one. It looks deceptively complicated but unlike the Bards’ language it is actually easier to understand because the radicals that compose its glyphs are very particular and their shapes are relatively easy to understand. As usual,… Read more

Chants of Sennaar: Bards’ Language Analysis

This is already the third post in this mini-series: the Bards’ language. For those who are confused, I suggest starting with the Devotees’ language analysis post, but for those who know the game Chants of Sennaar and want to delve into the language of the seekers of beauty, please, continue. As always, spoilers are ahead,… Read more

Chants of Sennaar: Warriors’ Language Analysis

So, this is a continuation of my language analysis. As usual, this post will spoil the whole language, so if you want to decipher it on your own first, you’ve been warned. This time I’ve got less to say, but this analysis helped me appreciate Warriors’ language far more than I did previously. After all,… Read more
