evanwalsh··on Krita 5.2
The release notes for 5.2 are probably a better place to get a sense of what the release includes: https://krita.org/en/krita-5-2-release-notes/

For anyone just getting started, no video tutorials really clicked for me until I found Grant Abbitt's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3ukorJv4vuU3ILv3g3x...

I wonder if the apps are native or if they're using some cross-platform framework. I would assume Xamarin, but I could also see them using React Native because their desktop app is Electron and React.

evanwalsh··on I’m a 12-year-old girl. Why don’t the characters in my apps look like me?
I think people want to identify with the media they consume and games are different from more passive forms because of player agency. However, if the avatar in the game is supposed to be "you", but it doesn't even begin to look like you, then you don't identify as much.

I, for one, relish a game that doesn't make me play as Johnny Brownhair-Whiteguy, but I have the benefit of being a white male with brown hair. I have the benefit of being catered to by most video games. If I could less often play as someone that looked like me, I think I'd start to feel excluded.

evanwalsh··on Unreal Engine 4.7 Released
There have been a few. Murdered: Soul Suspect, Daylight, and D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die being the biggest ones.

Wikipedia has a list of a lot of titles either out or in development: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games#Un...

It'd be one thing if the left between a few years of each other, but to only be separated by a few weeks? The proximity of the events cannot be ignored.
