    The Looker is a sincere satire of the puzzle game The Witness that just came out on Steam. It was a lot of fun, highly recommended!

    Everyone discredits the egg for his bizarre slowness on some of the mazes, but nobody gives him credit for how insanely quickly he figured out the symbols (I never realized it was about the vertices at all, I just followed the order of the bible). Clearly he's just got a good IQ for symbols, we're all different like that. Some things come natural to one person and for another it's complete gibberish.
    As far as the credits go, what I disliked was how the licenses weren't just lumped together in a rolling text, having each one fade in and out was what was obnoxious to me, not that they were in there and got their spotlight as they should and deserve.

    Tbh the thing about credits is they're more meritous to like, being hired or such, say you're in something? Given game/movie corroborates that fact right there, I don't think it's really about the average layman knowing you worked on it if you're not one of the like first 10 names in the credit, more about those actually concerned with that position that it exists for.
    Anyways, interesting game to watch NL do, always appreciate anything that isn't SAP.

    as a 3d artist, I totally disagree about the credits thing, people do look for assets in games. also marvel movies are very bad with crediting, they hardly even mention the VFX supervisor, its mostly just the name of the production house or whatever, not even a single artists name which is just sad considering each artist worked longer than the actors on each scene
