Comment 2

My second comment was for Felix’s post

My comment was as follows

Hi Felix.

I was able to read your post without struggles because of the clear divisions between the different features you’ve worked on. The text is coherent which means I can easily follow your thought process, and your reasoning seems logical and on point. The description of your process was detailed, but without unnecessary ramblings of text. I especially appreciate the decision you made to put less pressure on your programmer, as it implies you know how to listen to your fellow team members and ”kill your (own) darlings for the benefit of the progress of the whole group.

Although I appreciate the clarity of the post, there are some additional aspects I would have liked to see. Most importantly I think it would have benefited you to include some images. It would not only have been interesting, but also very enlightening to see the process you went through, especially as a fellow graphics minor. If there were no concept sketches or similar for you to include, one suggestion could be to use images of what inspired you (like an image of a howitzer gun, which I have no idea what it is so it would also have been enlightening for me personally haha). I think images would have helped to highlight and underline the basis for the decisions you made, and even if (I’m guessing) it is already depicted in the background/top of your blog, I would have liked at least an image of the final design of the Behemoth.

If I am to be nit picky, I would also have appreciated an explanation for the word Mech, which I had to google to fully understand (but that might just be my own fault haha) and I am also curious whether you decided against two guns on your own, or if it was a mutual agreement after consulting with your group. However, I enjoyed your post and if you had included pictures there would have been very little for me to criticize.

I hope you wont take this critique too personally or feel like it was too harsh. Your post has made me very curious about your design as well as concepts, and I really look forward to see your artwork!
