The CoreHMC in action for one of the most unique uses of performance capture we have ever been a part of.

Owen Seabrook has done it again! Another awesome episode of Will It MoCap? showcasing just how far you can push a mocap system when you bring together full-body tracking, high-quality facial capture from Captive Devices, and a seriously creative approach. From the tech to the performance (and yes… the lyrics), it’s a brilliant reminder that motion capture isn’t just about precision, it’s about storytelling and experimentation. If you’re even remotely interested in performance capture, this series is a must-watch.

The most extraordinary experience of Richard Garriott's life would make a terrible video game. Eight and a half minutes from sitting still on the ground to floating in orbit. He calls it one of the most pinnacle experiences a person can have. And as a game designer, he's the first to admit it wouldn't translate. There's not much to see. What makes it unforgettable is the g-force, the weight of the moment, the knowledge of where you are and what's underneath you. None of that survives a screen. The lesson: Some experiences can't be simulated. They have to be felt. Episode 3 of #StayTuned: Seekers & Disruptors with Rob Garf and Dave Finnegan, filmed live at The Explorers Club in NYC.

Scale is a liability, not a trophy. In this weekender episode, Benjamin Carcich reacts to Laura Fryer’s "A Tale of Two Studios." He explores the stark contrast between Sucker Punch’s decade-long stability and the aggressive, funding-led expansion of Build a Rocket Boy. The episode dives into why scaling to match a budget, rather than a proven product, is a "cart before the horse" mistake that trades creative energy for surveillance software and communication breakdowns.

What happens when a twisted Wonderland evolves into a world of mischievous plushies? On the Scope Creepers podcast, American McGee traces his journey from creative director of the Alice video game series to building Plushie Dreadfuls, and how that offbeat vision is expanding into a Dreadfuland universe with new gaming possibilities. “I started by writing the narrative universe for Plushie Dreadfuls under the title Dreadfuland. It’s essentially Wonderland within the Plushie Dreadfuls universe, with a main character presented very much in the style of an Alice: Madness Returns-type action-adventure game. However, we also have a second game design in the works right now for a smaller, cute, casual life game where all 300 Plushie Dreadfuls characters can live, and players can enter that space and complete daily missions and tasks.” Fall down the rabbit hole into Dreadfuland here: https://lnkd.in/dZrEfXmw

The Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn’t felt the same since Endgame—and fans are still debating why. In this Boss Rush Podcast clip, Corey Dirrig and LeRon Dawkins reflect on the evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from the hype of early phases to the perceived overload and direction changes in Phases 4 and 5. The conversation revisits the impact of early MCU storytelling, including the build-up to The Avengers, and contrasts it with the post-Endgame era beginning with films like Spider-Man: Far From Home and Black Widow. The hosts discuss release strategy decisions, pandemic-era distribution changes, and growing fan fatigue with expanding Disney+ content tied to Marvel Studios and Disney+. They also touch on divisive projects like Eternals, Secret Invasion, and Thunderbolts, and how audience expectations have shifted over time. #BossRushPodcast #BRPLive #MCU #MarvelCinematicUniverse #MarvelStudios #AvengersEndgame #PopCulture #SuperheroMovies
