Backbone - Video Game - 2D Characters - 3D Backgrounds.
This is just a recommended game for my blog for research purposes, just in case my tile map isn't added into my game, I could make do with 3D Visuals similar to how this game does it.
AI Prompt: Backbone - Video Game - 2D Characters - 3D Backgrounds.
Tumblr media
Backbone is a side-scrolling, dystopian noir adventure that marries beautifully hand-drawn 2D pixel characters with fully rendered 3D environments to create a striking 2.5D aesthetic.
Genre, Setting, and Narrative
Backbone is a narrative-driven detective RPG set in a dystopian, anthropomorphic Vancouver where every district tells its own story through environmental detail and character design.
Art Style and Technical Implementation
2D Characters in 3D Worlds
The core visual innovation in Backbone is its blending of 2D pixel art characters with real-time rendered 3D backgrounds, resulting in layered scenes that feel both nostalgic and modern.
Dynamic Lighting and Effects
Background environments are full 3D meshes lit with Unreal’s dynamic lighting system, producing realistic shadows, neon glows, and volumetric fog that envelop the pixel characters in atmosphere.
Development History
EggNut launched a successful Kickstarter in April 2018, reaching 150% of its funding goal and proving appetite for its unique noir vision.
Release Timeline and Reception
June 8, 2021: PC launch on Steam and Game Pass
October 2021: PlayStation 4/5 & Xbox One/Series
February 2022: Nintendo Switch
February 2, 2023: Prequel “Tails: The Backbone Preludes” on Windows
Critics and players lauded Backbone’s style—calling it “one of the best-looking adventure games ever” —and its art direction secured “Best Art” and “Best PC Game” at DevGAMM Minsk, plus “Best Indie Game” at the Strasbourg European Film Festival.
Comparative Context
Backbone’s technique of pre-rendered 2D sprites atop real-time 3D environments joins a lineage of games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Torment: Tides of Numenera, but stands out with its fully dynamic lighting and atmospheric effects.
Conclusion
By fusing meticulously animated 2D characters with immersive 3D backdrops, Backbone delivers a fresh take on pixel-art storytelling, proving that modern engines and classic aesthetics can coalesce into something truly memorable.

Incompetent Connor is so hilarious.
Replaying the Hostage and when you manage to save the kid and Daniel is killed and the camera pans to the kid sobbing on the floor and music is all intense and Connor just looks and walks around all cool like mission accomplished - it's such a great badass moment.
Tumblr media
But when you don't save her and he walks the same way it's like -
I came.
I horribly messed up,
Connor OUT.

it's cool if I ramble about yes man unprompted right. ofc it is. i wanna talk about his capacity for violence bc I think it's one of the most interesting parts of his character
yes man is nice. obviously he's nice. but yes man is not a kind character. he helps you, sure, but that's mostly just because he likes you specifically (and even that's debatable depending on how you play). i feel like this is exemplified w his pre-combat lines– "a pulled trigger's a happy trigger!" and "woo! bang bang!" like, he's clearly having fun! he takes glee in killing people, but not because he's sadistic, but because he just doesn't realize the weight of taking a life- or if he does, it just doesn't matter to him.
he was programmed without a sense of morality or an understanding of mortality. to him, violence is second nature. to him, violence is no different from play. he's like a guard dog– he doesn't care who he's shooting or why, he's just excited to do the thing he's good at.
and on one hand, he is a fantastic guard dog. but on the other hand, six must watch how... efficiently he kills, and wonder if they'll ever wind up on the receiving end of it. he wouldn't do it as long as he likes six, of course, but... if yes man was given good enough reason to believe six deserved to die, would he even hesitate? would their history and relationship mean anything to him? or would six just be another target, forgotten about as quickly as a radroach you stepped on?
six can only hope they never need to find out.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they're codependent and not in a shippy way either. I'm not sure if I want to say it's codependency in an emotionally abusive/manipulative way but it's definitely not healthy and there are other factors to it outside out that as well.
I think it’s only manipulative on Jimmy’s front.
I see Curly as this deeply lonely person because he doesn’t open up well. I believe he is very rehearsed because he’s used to being the rock, strong man and stabilizing force. His vulnerability is very much ignored or downplaying in the game intentionally by Jimmy who uses his and others woes as a comparative. I see this as a common behavior between them but also just something Curly will do to himself to keep himself complacent. He doesn’t have much he actually enjoys in life more so things he just does. Jimmy is one thing he’s felt more than complacent and comfortable around in a long while despite how inconsiderate Jimmy is. He’s more used to it than he loves it but he’s used to that.
Jimmy in the other hand is like a dog that bites the hand that feeds it. Jimmy recognizes those little cracks Curly has and likes to dig into them to get a foothold. He knows Curly isn’t the one to suddenly budge, so if he can keep him wedged in a place he is, he’s secured to. He needs Curly, but forgets that he chose to attach himself that way and resents Curly for keeping him from getting out from under him. He based everything off the reflections on the shield he force Curly to be for him but can’t see the painful light Curly obscures.
To me, it’s really just Curly is used to how draining Jimmy is. He relents and works with whatever keeps Jimmy placated because it’s easier and he doesn’t feel like he has much else that he actually enjoys. It’s an abusive relationship but not physically, not until after the crash atleast. Jimmy’s a leech and Curly just got used to being lightheaded.

ok it's been long enough since I saw this post floating around that I can comfortably complain about it now lol. RE: 'video games do cause violence'. This is what I mean when i say that some tumblr leftists are ending up back at right-wing talking points and frameworks again through 'save the children'-isms. Well-meaning discussions about glorification and depiction have landed some people back at 'if your son plays grand theft auto then he's going to be a violent criminal'. This is the same kind of thinking that lands people at 'drag storytime at the library is turning the kids queer through sheer exposure', imo.
Tumblr media
Also, what 'rejiggering'? If you have to 'rejigger' the basis of your argument for it to work, then it might not be a very good one. Like, yeah, the statement 'all fish are red' can be true if you tweak the definition of 'fish' to mean exclusively red snappers, but that's disingenuous. Idk. It's just annoying because there ARE discussions of merit to be had with this topic and there is nuance, but especially in this political climate, I'm not happy with people leaning into 'what you expose kids to in their entertainment is going to turn them [xyz]'. I feel like we have some pretty clear examples of that line of thinking harming marginalized communities in a very direct way.

you ever just write a short story about queer platonic Odydio where they were best friends for ten years but Diomedes began pulling away because life was way to hard and he was neglecting Odysseus in the process and Odysseus was trying and begging for him to connect but Diomedes was not paying attention at all, so Odysseus finally sends a text, “I can’t waste my energy begging for a minute of your time, goodbye” and that really fucks Diomedes up and then six months later he finds out that Odysseus and Penelope got married and he didn’t know which really REALLY fucks him up because he wanted to be there for them
inhaleeeee
so then six years later, Odysseus and Penelope are on a train ride, tour thing and a steward is like “hey this dude hates his room can he stay with you guys” and it turns out that the guy is Diomedes and instead of being “my best bitch how are you” Odysseus decided to pretend that he doesn’t exist. Like a bitch. Throughout the trip, Diomedes tries to crack Odysseus and make him acknowledge him but Odysseus is just like whoooooo? Then Diomedes corners Odysseus with a chess board and he can’t resist. While they play, Diomedes is like “remember when we played chess the first time we met” and Odysseus is like “dude I have no fucking idea who you are….unless” and then Odysseus breaks finally and is like “hi you little shit what do you want” and Diomedes is like idk, I love you, and Odysseus is like “what the hell is love supposed to do with anything”
they cry like a lot
insert Penelope
she’s talking to Diomedes and is like “you did hurt him. You both deserve healing and peace in life” and Diomedes is crying “I’m so sorryaaauhhhhhh” and Penelope tells him Odysseus and I have a kid and it really hurts when Odysseus talks about Diomedes to Telemachus and he can’t put a face to the name so Penelope asks if he would like to meet him and Diomedes says of course. Soooooo they have dinner and Diomedes is a godfather now yay. Odysseus is like “finally my son met him my conscience is eased” but then Telemachus notices that Odysseus and Diomedes have tension and start spitting bars for a hot second, “stop being afraid, love each other” and they start working on the relationship. SLOWLY AGONIZINGLY SLOW
But they have a car ride and that is like the gate way to fixing all their problems. So they all grow together, Telemachus is married (idk to who) but he has a kid (idk what her name is) but it doesn’t matter because Odysseus is dying
Damn.
so everyone is saying goodbyes and I love yous and all the good stuff and Penelope is like “goodbye my love we will be ok, spend your last moments with your himbo” and he is like “sick, that’s rad” so he and Diomedes have a final chess game and they just talk but they are also trying to draw the match out but unfortunately Odysseus is just that guy and before he wins he makes sure that Diomedes knows he forgives him and Diomedes weeps and gives him a hug and Odysseus dies
Odysseus dies in his arms and doesn’t win the game
whoops so ….
they have a funeral and after the funeral Diomedes is washing dishes when Telemachus gives him something and says it’s from dad and Diomedes opens the small box and it’s a chess piece.

So I'm replaying Ray's After ending rn, and it got me thinking that what I adore so much about Rika as an antagonist is just how damn scary she can be. I always found those who cause harm with good intentions (at least in their point of view) much scarier than those who hurt you with pure intention on hurting you. I think the best example of it is this CG in particular:
Tumblr media
Look at that. Such a loving, gentle expression on her face. Probably kissing his forehead. Because she loves him. Heck, without any context, this CG looks even sweet, if you think about it. And yet, all that is while Saeyoung is forcefully sedated on a powerful concoction of drugs even a trained agent like him can't do anything about (and Saeyoung WAS definitely trained to deal with this sort of thing, hence it's mentioned that this is a 'special' kind of drugs). He looks miserable. Bags under his eyes, his expression pained and troubled, even his hair is paler than usual. All that as a direct result of her actions. But she's utterly blind to it. What's scarier, is that she knowingly shuts off her understanding of what's really happening. She's not oblivious to it at all. She just chooses not to see it that way. Simply because she doesn't want to.
Rika is the type of antagonist that will cup your cheek into her warm hand with the most loving of smiles on her face, all while you are getting elixir poured down your throat. Even whispering to you that you're doing great, that the pain will soon pass, and that she can't wait to see you reach the happiness she knows you deserve. I won't be surprised if she even cried genuine tears of compassion during some ceremonies for her believers. All while being the sole reason behind their suffering.
And that's... God, that's terrifying to me. I love that about her.
Rika Kim, they could never make me hate you
#mystic messenger#mysmes#mysme#mm#rika kim#kim rika#anyways ughhh she's so messed up i adore her#yes i will think about cute fluffy scenarios with her one minute and then go into her most horrible of actions the next#like it's such a contrast to all the rest as well#ray gets as close to her as possible in terms of his approach to messed up deeds but it's still different with him#like ray genuinely believes in what he does - good and bad#rika conditioned him that way#suit even points that out: 'oh i'm not like that airhead. i know this place is messed up.'#rika on the other hand? it's the way she willfully just... chooses to live in her own twisted fairytale that is so fascinating to me#it makes her scarier than ray but it also makes her more unstable#because once that fairytale of her is threatened? well she gets even more dangerous but in a completely different way#we literally see her spiraling more and more during v route and it's as scary as it is also sad#just saying: v ae could have been such a banger if they didn't absolutely mess it up#i think i despite judgement ending more than anything else in the game for so many reasons#if cheritz had the backbone they would have either removed it altogether or remastered v's ae for free I'M JUST SAYING#because what the hell was that#anyway#rant over#i wrote a huge post about how much i love rika while i am actively biting my nails every time she touches the twins BUT I LOVE THAT WITH HE#YES give me a character i keep feeling so many conflicting emotions for i will gobble that up
