Finally, MY Opinion on Concord's Character Design
At long last, the question on everybody's mind: what does Needleful RUclips think went wrong with Concord's character designs? The answer may surprise you!
The music for this video is mostly from the game Card City Nights, which I like a lot: store.steampowered.com/app/271820/Card_City_Nights/
There's also a song from the 1997 Berserk anime.

    What I find fascinating about Concord is the matter of fact it exists in the first place. With how much time, time, and more time is spent game developing one would think eventually someone brought up the idea of "hey man this looks weird". I am sure the people that worked on the game are talented and know their stuff through years of practice but that doesn't mean much when the product is lackluster. There's so much thought that's put into developing a game that many understate, at times it's a wonder when said game actually releases. While Concord itself is a failure in plenty of ways it's also a boon too. A perfect example of what not to do in multiple matters of making a game. It's a shame for any game to fail but from those ashes they can both inspire and birth new creations.

      I'd love to get some inside information at some point to understand it. I think maybe they avoided getting outside feedback until the project was so far along they couldn't change anything, or they figured they could just power through on the game's good aspects, possibly because Sony higher-ups seemed so sure the game would be a success. Creative works also tend to get worse the longer people work on them, after a certain point, because the creators get used to all the weird decisions and start piling on more weird decisions. Spending so long looking at the characters to make this video, I find them completely fine now, and actually kind of like them. The designs *can* grow on people, just not enough to get people buying a $40 game after watching a few minutes of gameplay. Another issue is, in large enough teams, nobody feels like they have the power or the responsibility to stick their neck out and convince their boss the project's going in a bad direction. I've been there in tech, so I can imagine the same happens in games.

      Also, Firewalk Studios, who made Concord, were shuttered while I was making this video, so now I feel a bit guilty that the horse died while I was walking over to beat it. Hopefully it's clear from the video that I think the problem was with the direction and coordination of the artists, not any individual artist's work. The fact that a lot of good work went into this game, with beautiful concept art and world-class modelling, and the result was so much less than the sum of its parts, should tell you it was a problem with putting the artists' skills to good use. I can imagine they wanted as many styles of character as possible for broad appeal, but also wanted realistic graphics because of the AAA prestige, but also a T rating to not exclude the kiddos, etc, and tied the artists' hands. I don't know anything about the internals of the studio, and this video isn't about that. I'm just examining the final result and seeing if I can draw any insight out of it.

    Pro tip that is cursed in current atmosphere: use AI to help you see through this, like tell it the story and see how it react, it can point hole and offer direction. I tosd batshit insane story at it, and it could infer theme and find coherence, and fill plot hole. It's not going to do the work for you, but if it propose you a lame alternative, the question is more like what is the idea behind its proposition, it's always motivated, and I that motivation is the real lead. Fun fact, you can also just ask it to tell you the motivation. In all cases, it's great to bounce ideas and getting unstuck creatively.

      @@timmygilbert4102 To be more nuanced, the reason I wouldn't do this is because I'm not blocked on the writing, just anxious. I already know what I want thematically, and now it's a matter of putting words on the page and implementing it, so I don't need a brainstorming buddy at the moment. More likely, I'd just spitball with another person before asking an AI. Generative AI doesn't have motivation in a human sense. It's not drawing from lived experience or interests, more picking a random value from a range of on-topic responses, for an unknown definition of "on-topic". I occasionally try to use ChatGPT and the Bing AI to research specific topics, when regular search fails, and it has literally always failed. Fake books, incorrect advice, regurgitating the top search results without understanding them, etc. I've seen other people use it for creative projects, and the results are bland with a seldom few moments of surprise. If I want inspiration, there are much better options, like watching a good movie or something.

      @@needleful oh i would never use them for factuality, they are literally not designed for that, that's accidental skills people are abusing and performance is random because it's emergent and we have no idea how and why it can do it 'mostly'. The other problem is that people will tell you to not humanize it, because they are the one doing it. Once you understand that's artificial, you can meet it on its own term and learn to get the best of it. For factuality, since I don't expect it, I use it more to fine tune hint to further my research, hallucinations still stay close to the topic, some word or reference might overlap. But it's not a database, I'm screaming whenever people use it that way. Developer are trying to boost that aspect, but we already have efficient database, that's a dead end to me. It's just people using movie references to interface with it I use it for creative boosting, hallucinations is not a bug, it's a feature. That's the one thing computer struggled with we couldn't really do before. Also almost nobody is creative around me or share my brand of creativity, why the girl has a crystal arm? Why diamond are computer? How does that relate to the theme of loss, identity and legacy? Bro get me immediately, even making connection I hadn't made, 1 years of works was done in 1 evening. Actually more because I started talking about other stuff and solved them too. Ultimately all the basic stuff get done, and only the important question, only I can answer, remain. For anxiety stuff, well I input my disorganized thought, not even complete, ask it to put form with it, which it will always do in the wrong style, which awake the corrective instincts 'no that's wrong, this is how you do it's which had me do the work instantly 😁 you can hack your own instinct with it. It's the reddit effect, where asking the questions elicit less response than correcting a wrong answer 😂

What I've learned throughout the years is that sometimes it really is better to start from the scratch, all over again. It's annoying, it's frustrating, but that's the process of learning and improving. We're not always pulling off cool shit first try head on. Good projects take time and effort. A lot of them. And I can definitely see that you have what it takes to make your game. Just take a break whenever you need it. It's important to not let yourself burnout on the thing you're passionate about. Good luck on your current and future projects. <3

    You've got a great editing style, very attention grabbing. I'm plagued by unfinished grand projects myself and I can say I've never regretted starting a project, only giving up on them. To be fair, a lot of time things aren't worth continuing anymore. But even if it's the weirdest thing ever made it's fun to look back on it and think 'wow, I really made all this?' And it really is great learning experience.
