Waiting for someone else to make the multi-hour Sable "LORE" video about how all the spaceships are named after London's famous brutalist estates. https://t.co/xZgYjOnXfI
JETT has a seriously impressive opening. Haven't been that blown away by the intro to a sci-fi game since ECHO. Like that game it makes sci-fi feel properly mysterious once more. And it really nails space travel as this ritualistic event. The visual symmetry is also 👌
From Ludwig Hesshaimer's The World War, A Dance of Death - "The day filled me with heavy apprehension; only the night was mine, that wonderful peace of the silent night. I thank her for allowing me to put into art what tortured me to the breaking point in the years of the war."
Henrique Alvim Correa's illustrations of H.G. Wells' "War Of The Worlds" (1906). Little did either of them know, a hundred years on, Tom Cruise would ruin it all.
In the wake of the 2001 Lord of the Rings films, he almost had a new publishing house pick the illustrations up, but plans were once again scuppered due to copyright bullshit. Afterwards, Klúcik said: "I have had it with illustrations. I am going to paint!" - which he did.
Some early Soviet revolutionary war posters by Alexander Apsit. Designed to recruit soldiers to the Red Army and fight against the Whites, it depicts workers resisting the power of priests, royals and the rich.
Another great moment: this ruined spaceship really didn't want me to climb up it. But I did anyway (because I know how to Skyrim hop & shimmy). Sign of a good game.
