I'm remaking Black Ice's outdated trailer from 2023 and this video did change my approach. I typically felt we needed to focus on combat montages to the exclusion of story and text but this gave me confidence to frontload a little more lore and character background with longer individual segments.

This was a major cause of Black Ice's corporate dystopia. Tech visionaries created a logistics load-balancer to help humanity survive climate collapse but the megacorps figured out how to exploit it for algorithmic price-fixing. Luckily the game's hackers can still find a way to break the system.

Adding a final coat of paint and some neon signage to the Arcade booths as I bugfix them. The Dunk Tank deals damage to reduce you to 1hp and rewards you based on how much damage you could tank.

Clearing more classic SF off my shelves while moving and discovered this strangely optimistic view of Florida in the year 2020 compared to where we actually landed.
