Retomando la pintura de mis Space Marines.
Speaking of paiting miniatures, I liked this video with different brush techniques.
Secret project #2501 is moving forward. I’m almost ready to start doing field tests.
1996: Can a Computer Produce Art?. This is amazing. How come I never heard from it before?
Proyecto secreto #671 esta listo para arrancar produccion la semana que viene. Es ambicioso, pero estoy entusiasmado y espero poder mostrar algo pronto.
What’s the story in the Bayeux Tapestry?. I liked these animations about the Bayert Tapestry. And here is another video with a making of.
No se si se puede considerar esto como “pixel art”, pero me encanta.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Remaster is finally out. I played it a bit but I don’t have the time right now to invest playing a full run again.
Watched a couple of episodes for Star Wars: Visions. The Duel and The Elder. Didn’t like the art style of the first one, but I loved the animation for the latter. Watched the making of for both too.
Estoy muy enganchado con House of Leaves. La forma en que se cuenta la Expedicion 4 me encanto.
Playing DOOM: The Dark Ages, Furi, Jotun
Errementari (2018). Me encanto esta pelicula. Me la habian recomendado, pero no me esperaba algo tan bueno. Un hermoso cuentito de hadas con un toque oscuro. Muy recomendado.

Hellboy: Mignola’s Genius for Simplification
- A great study on Mike Mignola’s art and how he simplifies complex scenes. I specially like how he uses pure black silhouettes to create a sort of “depth of field” effect and draw the attention to where it is needed.
Termine de leer los seis volumenes del manga de Akira. Y justo a tiempo para ir a ver el reestreno en el cine.
10 Ways to Improve Game Feel - YouTube
- Definitely something to keep in mind when developing my next games.
Volvi a ver War of the Worlds (2005). Salvo algunos efectos, la pelicula envejecio bastante bien.
Batman: El Mundo
- Una antologia que parte de una idea interesante: Batman teniendo aventuras por el mundo.
- Destaco la de España. Me parecio original y bien contada.
- La de Argentina esta muy bien tambien.
- La de Alemania creo que es la que menos me gustó, simplemente porque es demasiado generica. Podría haber ocurrido en cualquier otro lado del mundo.

I played Slay the Spire a bit, until I finished the first act. I did like it and I understand the appeal and why it was one of the most important indie games of the time, but in the end I wasn’t really hooked to continue playing. I guess I played a lot of similar games over the years.
Fuimos unos dias a la costa. Hizo mucho frio pero eso no impidio que hicieramos un poco de astrofotografia.
Hablando de eso, creo que es la primera vez que estoy realmente interesado en los avances de las camaras de los nuevos iPhones
The 10 Most Important Game Engines of ALL TIME (History & Impact). Spoiler alert: Crimild didn’t make the cut
2002 Art Gallery Video Promo Trailer. ACM SIGGRAPH have been posting videos from previous years. I might be wrong, but I think this one could have been the very first one I ever saw, back in ‘02.
THE APOCALYPSIS JOHANNIS - Browsing Facsimile Editions (4K / UHD). Un comic medieval?
I made an Obsidian plugin called Circle, which is a visualization tool displaying markdown headings as concentric rings. Helpful for mind mapping and exploding tasks and subtasks.

I spent more time building this blog than actually writing on my blog, but it was worth it.
Finished reading Mister B Gone.
- I ended up liking this book pretty much. I was about to put it away during the first half because I was not really invested in the story Mister B is telling us, despite the initial hook. But I’m glad I continued reading.
- I do regret reading this book in my kindle. This is a book that HAS to be read in physical form. Extra points if you can get an old, used copy. And don’t forget to burn it after reading it.
Empece a leer Casa de Hojas, de Mark Z. Danielewsky
- Otro ejemplo de meta-narración.
- La premisa es interesante. Espero que el resto del libro me enganche de la misma forma.
Juego de la semana: Slay The Spire.
I just watched this scene from GitS for some reason. And this one too, of course. I guess it’s that time the year to rewatch the movie, maybe?
Refactoring systems for Crimild because why not.

It’s been a while since I blogged, but here I am again.

Why new blog? Well, it’s a way for me to talk a bit about things I like and share what I do. Just that.

See you around!
