Special guest and video game artist @davidhellman (Braid, Arranger) joins us on a new Kit & Krysta Podcast to talk about his career in games as well as the story behind his touching tribute to Satoru Iwata!

In Arranger, the goopy substance called STATIC is congealed human spiritual rigidity, or resistance to change based on fear. In practical terms, it won’t budge. Here’s a raft of design alternatives.
QUIZ
1. Which would you eat?
2. Which would you throw in a fire?

I’m so glad I got to be a part of this and to have forged such a great relationship with my colleagues. Thank you so much @davidhellman for the feature!
Was Arranger the work of a solitary genius auteur or the collective dream of a nameless multitude? It has to be one or the other!! This is a clip; watch the FULL VID youtu.be/YbbpStG5Ms0?si=T9og… Every1 told me they like this vid (ppl w/the capacity 2 b cruel) so pls enjoy confidently!

This is David (Hellman). This is an unused monster design from Arranger. You can see the brutality in his eye while the purple goo (later dubbed "static") inhabits him. He's evil but capable. The ears becoming shoulder pads is the best idea I had between 2017-22 (don't steal it)

Hellman here. I drew this map when we were pitching Arranger, and had finished a first pass on the intro town. These strange yellow temples, they served a gameplay concept. Town in ruins, fortified complex above, poisoned river… What survived in adapted form, what was lost?
David "Overdraw" Hellman retweeted
This is Hellman. More early story sketches from Arranger. There was a time when every town had its own beloved idol, revered and pampered. Woe to the victims when the idols are suffering from a mood disorder. Do you recognize this gate w/ the figure above? It changed…

This is David. Here’s another piece of development art from Arranger. What is this strange mountain resembling a pachyderm? We wanted the world to embody mystery, a forgotten past, a history of struggle between powerful forces. I think of this landscape as Jemma’s dream.
David "Overdraw" Hellman retweeted
Hi, it's David. I've been going through Arranger development art. I forgot about so much of this! The early concept stage was one of the most fun and creative. I'll be posting some of my favorites over time.
Do you remember these moments from the story? Did they change?

Te quiero @Cabezotta. Aguante Arranger y aguante vos, loco.
Anoche Arranger de @furnimatgames se llevó TODO en los premios de EVA 2024. Mejor audio, Mejor Juego según la Prensa y Mejor Juego de la EVA. Una barbaridad que @Cabezotta, su diseñador, coronó bancando la Universidad Pública y haciendo explotar el auditorio.

This video is an hour long.
19.5 minutes are of children 17 & under
2.5 minutes are of adults 76 & older, i.e. older than Israel
And these are only the confirmed identities of 34,000 people. The Lancet estimates at least 186,000 Palestinians killed by Netanyahu's bombing.

And if you haven't left a Steam review yet, please take a couple minutes and do so! We have way more followers and players than reviews, and it would make a big difference to the long-term fate of the game. So thanks for that too!

Here's a little message - drawn by @davidhellman - from our whole team and our friend Jemma, for all of the support that you've given us since launch.
David "Overdraw" Hellman retweeted
The movement in Arranger had many changes throughout dev. Was the single most stressful thing for me as the programmer because it was sooo important and, at the same time, surprisingly complex!
One tool that helped me to make it feel nice enough was DOTween by @demigiant!!
Jemma is ffffffasttt! 🤣
From our game -> Arranger: A Role Puzzling Adventure! Coming soon! @furnimatgames
David "Overdraw" Hellman retweeted
Now THIS is how a company for artists supports artists! By respecting and empowering them, NOT by taking advantage of them! Good on Procreate for being on the right side of history, and looking forward to whatever the team does next 🙌
We’re never going there. Creativity is made, not generated.
