5 Best Photography Styles by Urban Life

As we explore the diverse world of urban life photography, we can identify five standout styles that truly capture the essence of city living. Candid street photography reveals spontaneous moments, while urban landscape photography highlights the interplay of nature and architecture. Then there’s fine art street photography, street portraiture, and even abstract approaches that transform everyday scenes. Each style offers a unique perspective, inviting us to consider how we view urban environments. But which style resonates the most with our experiences? Let’s uncover what makes each one distinct.

Candid Street Photography

In the heart of bustling city streets, candid street photography offers us a unique lens into the spontaneous moments of urban life. We can capture authentic interactions and engaging subjects simply by being present and observant. By employing techniques like acting and the camera snap, we avoid drawing attention to ourselves. Instead, we look slightly past our subjects, engrossed in our surroundings, which helps us seize those fleeting moments.

Finding a good spot and lingering can significantly increase our chances of capturing captivating street portraits. With patience, we allow interesting backgrounds to enhance our shots as we wait for life to unfold.

We should travel light, using a mirrorless camera or a prime lens, to promote mobility and spontaneity. Setting our cameras to aperture priority mode enables quick adjustments for varying light conditions.

Ultimately, we must trust our instincts and embrace spontaneity. Not every shot will be perfect, but each attempt sharpens our skills. By engaging with our subjects and creating a fun atmosphere, we can often elicit natural, heartfelt reactions.

Candid photography truly thrives in the vibrancy of urban environments, and we’re lucky to explore it.

Urban Landscape Photography

Urban landscape photography immerses us in the dynamic interplay between human-made environments and the natural world. This art form captures the essence of urban life, emphasizing architecture and the energy that defines our cities.

By exploring various types of photography, we can appreciate how urban landscapes reveal their stories.

Here are four elements that enhance our understanding of urban landscapes:

Architectural Contrasts: Juxtaposing modern skyscrapers against historical buildings unveils the layers of time.

Community Interactions: Capturing spontaneous moments in bustling streets highlights the vibrant life within urban environments.

Geometric Composition: Utilizing shapes and lines leads the viewer’s eye, creating compelling visuals that draw attention.

Environmental Context: Observing how nature interacts with human structures showcases the balance (or imbalance) between civilization and the natural world.

Through thoughtful composition and perspective, urban landscape photography invites us to reflect on the narratives hidden within our cities.

As we engage with this style, we become more attuned to the nuances of our urban surroundings, enriching our understanding of the world we inhabit.

Fine Art Street Photography

Fine art street photography offers us a captivating lens through which we can explore the intricate stories woven into our urban environments. This style transcends traditional street photography by incorporating elements of fine art photography, allowing us to express our unique perspectives.

Take Dimpy Bhalotia, for instance; her iPhone captures reveal striking low-angle views that create a distinct identity, showcasing the beauty of everyday moments.

Similarly, Alessio Trerotoli’s refreshing approach combines double exposures with moody aesthetics, crafting dreamlike visuals that still respect street photography traditions.

When we engage with Laurence Bouchard’s work, we’re drawn into immersive moments that tell compelling narratives, reflecting his meditative approach to capturing life on the streets.

Moreover, Victor Morante’s minimalist photography captivates us with its deep shadows and vibrant colors, demonstrating how simplicity can tell a powerful story.

Whether it’s through color or black and white, fine art street photography embraces a blend of urban elements and emotional depth, inviting us to see our surroundings in a new light.

Street Portraiture

Street portraiture offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of strangers we encounter daily. This style merges the spontaneity of street photography with focused portraits, capturing the essence of individuals in public places.

When we engage in street portrait photography, we create images that resonate deeply. Here are four elements that enhance our storytelling:

Headshots: We capture compelling facial expressions, revealing emotions that connect us to the subject.

Environmental Portraits: By placing subjects in their surroundings, we convey their story and context.

Full Body Portraits: Showcasing attire and body language, we highlight personal style and presence.

Natural Lighting: Utilizing soft, even light, we ensure each portrait feels authentic, whether in the golden hour or amidst urban shadows.

Selecting the right surroundings and background is crucial; they should complement, not distract from, the subject.

With practice, we can build rapport and make our subjects feel valued, resulting in portraits that reflect their true selves.

Street portraiture invites us to explore the richness of urban life, capturing moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Let’s embrace this art form and celebrate the diversity around us.

Abstract Street Photography

Capturing urban life doesn’t have to be confined to traditional portraits; abstract street photography opens up a world of creative possibilities. By using techniques like long exposures and intentional camera movements with our handheld cameras, we can create stunning abstract photography that transforms ordinary scenes into something extraordinary.

We can start by experimenting with slow shutter speeds, allowing subtle blurs to convey a sense of motion and place. Shooting in bright, contrasting lighting helps simplify busy scenes, turning shadows into deep blacks that enhance abstract shapes.

Additionally, we might explore double exposures, layering images for striking visual effects, or even turning our cameras upside down to discover surreal cityscapes.

Picking out unique architectural details can also yield impactful images, where simplicity reigns. By focusing on just one or two elements, we can create compositions that stand alone while hinting at the broader urban environment.

Whether we’re using the Canon EOS 90D or any versatile mirrorless camera, the key is to embrace creativity. Abstract street photography invites us to see urban life from a fresh perspective, combining artistry with the energy of the streets.

My Top best BTS members fic in my whole fanfic reading journey. ( ao3, YT, Wattpad, tumblr) [Part:01]

🌸These fanfics have my whole heart. The amount of happiness,emotion,nostalgia i felt its beyond unimaginable. I will cherise those fics until the end of my life. Thank you of all those writer who britten my day with their incredible talent and creativity. 🌸

🌺Long thread ( please read the review with patience)🌺

💐Author💐

1. Rafae's fiction on YT

My fanfic journey started with YT. I know many of us doesn't read yt fanfic, although we have solid reason not to do. Some of us also think yt fanfic means cringy type of fic. But trust me Rafae is a gem. Like she is truly exceptional. She has a strong aura that anyone can be captivated.

🍁Her stories🍁

◼Throne [ Taehyung fanfic ] by Rafae on YT

Genre: Royal au, arranged marriage, Angst (so much angst), smut, romance, fluff, happy ending. [completed]

Summary : A story of Royalty. A Periodic tale of three kingdoms. A tale of kings and Queens. " Throne" Is a story that had everything; Love, loyalty, friendship, betrayal, evilness, partition, pain, suffering, development, empowerment and devotion. A tale that takes the Romance to different level after passing through the stages of love. A tale of a Queen, more than a King. A tale of woman who proved that there is nothing stronger in this world than a broken woman. The Queen who teaches us to look in the eyes of demons and say Here I am standing, come and try to break me.

-Review:

[Must read] : The first thing I will say is it's not the typical type of fanfic people usually read, where the female lead is always weak or submitted to the male lead. This fanfic will change someone's perspective on women. And about the male lead, he is so caring and soft-spoken when it comes to his woman, sweet, with a strong moral compass and leadership like a full package. His character is so beautifully written that you will feel pain in your heart thinking, In real life, why do these kinds of men not exist? This story also has many different side characters, and each character has a different story, and each of them is so painfully beautiful. This series has 100 episodes. I had never seen any YT fanfic this long. Even the epi time is also very long, about 25-30 mins. Some of you will think that its 100-episode series might be boring, but trust me, not a single episode of this series is boring. Every episode is packed with suspense, emotion, and breathtaking plot twists that will leave you on the edge of your seat. And the best part? The storytelling is so vivid that it feels like watching a historical K-drama unfold right before your eyes. If you read the story, you will see the mention of 3 kingdoms that were actually from the Korean map that ruled ancient time Korea during the Three Kingdoms Period. So just go give it a chance; I must say you won't regret it. Also, the BGM of this series is like a full chef's kiss. 🤌

[Note: There are some grammatical mistakes in this series. The author had to upload one EP every Tuesday of the week. On YT after uploading the EP, she couldn't even edit the episode. Otherwise, all of the things are so perfect, so just dig in. ☺]

▪🍁[Jungkook fanfic]🍁

◼ [Reading between the lines] by anonymous on (ao3)

Genre: kinda enemies to lovers au,University au, slow burn, fluff, Smut, also jungkook is so sweet:( [completed ]

Summary: You're an art student beginning your final year at university, and the assigned partner for thesis project? Much to your dismay, it's Jeon Jungkook. You don't like him — he doesn't seem to try very hard, and besides, he's on the soccer team, and you don't really get along with athletes.

Thanks to a lack of available models and a shortage of studio space, you end up spending a large portion of your semester locked in a tiny closet with Jungkook, where you eventually discover he's nothing at all like you originally thought.

-Review:

Plz this is so good. Like so so so good.😭 you have to read this. The slow burn, the tension, the way their relationship grows. This kind of books will make your chest hurt (in a good way). And about Jungkook, i hopelessly inlove with his character. Also the pace of love-story was perfect like PERFECT. I will never forget the emotion and butterfly i felt reading this. Also the smut 👌💋. So just go and read this. A must read.

◼ Phycho by @moonchiiild_ on wattpad

Genre: Personality disorder au (reader), established relationship, romance, angst, happy ending [ completed]

Summary: You are wounded and broken. Laughing at scars was your habit, but tending your wounds was his speciality. Some may call Jeon Jungkook a perfect man to exist, but you knew your husband better than that; if you were his Bonnie, he is your Clyde. Psycho, maniac, insane. World called you many names, but your husband calls you his wife and stands beside you when no one dares. Jungkook is your possession, your medicine. The world may have rejected a bitch like you, but it takes only one person to snatch the monster out of you.

-Review:

Masterpiece the only word go to this series. This book is mix of suspense, romance. The first chapter of this book got me chokehold and there was no way escape of this. I just can't stop thinking about this. The characters are so good specially jungkook, this man is embodiment of all my fantasies here. After reading this story the only thing you will say that if i can't find any man like Jungkook in this book then i dont want any man. Like He is the STANDARD. Also there was so much angst on this book. But in the end its all worth it :(((

▪🍁[Taehyung fanfic]🍁

◼ Perpetual Rain by @NovainRose_ on wattpad

Genre: Slow brun, some fluff, angst, Smut, Reaper au, kinda time travel au?? [ completed ]

Summary: A troubled - soon to be - college girl is ravaged by uncontrollable hallucinations that she can't explain. Making an unexpected friendship with a stranger she met on the street but, he has secrets of his own. "Seriously, you've got me worried." His hands pressed into the tables brim, ready to get up at any second. "You barely even know me, why are you so worried?" You stared at him, irritated and confused. He was so persistent! "Is it bad for someone to care? Even if it's for a stranger?" Dark brown eyes narrowing and chest-nut hair cast to the side with a tilt of his head. "Just trust me." But, could she?

-Review:

I am whipped; I am just WHIPPED. It's such a beautifully written, deeply emotional journey filled with longing, love, and pain that lingers like the scent of the rain on a stormy night. This book still haunts me like a nightmare. The writing is so mesmerizing. Also, this book is kind of atmospheric. There is also a 2nd part of this book called" Timeless Snow". But this book is really a slow burn, like really, really slow burn. So don't get frustrated. Just go and read; trust me, you will love it. This book is one of my the must-read books.

This is my first time posting on tumblr. And these fanfics are very close to my heart. If you love these stories then plz show lot of love to the original author of these stories. At the end of the day, fanfic writers rely on positive reviews from readers. Its make the original author happy. Also, if you love the recommendation, then please tell me also.😌 So that maybe i will also make the part 2 of my favourite fanfics. 👀

[crizztelcb]

this is going to be a long one and probably have mistakes so yeah be warned.

If you already know me i‘m glad to see you again! And I'm sure you know what my intentions are behind my opinions and know what awaits you, what I'm intending with this post is not to bash on anyone, fandom wise or studio wise so you can skip to the part 0 bellow if you want. 

Hi, if you are new here let me give you a little explanation over what I'm presenting in this post (or prehab's video or even document who knows) no this is not a salt complain, and this is not a sugar-coating work either, this is a critical analysis of the new animation and design of the characters from the French animated children's show miraculous the adventures of ladybug and chat noir season 6 that just started airing as I'm am speaking with you. 

part 0

To start in a good foot will say my biased opinion right here at the start, I simply do not like the new designs or animation but as someone that is studying graphic design, animation, character design, 3D animation and more I can’t just live with my nose stuck up high and refuse to acknowledge what I don’t like can be good and that is exactly what i will do bellow so let's start with the animation rumors and how studios work. 

PART 1: ANIMATION RUMORS AND HOW STUDIOS WORKS 

Miraculous was first aired day 1 of September of 2015 in South Korea and since when we came a long ride till now, the studio responsible for season one was also located in South Korea being a 3D animation studio called SAMG Entertaiment; but why I'm speaking about it? Well, I heard some rumors going around saying the reason we got a new animation was because of the said examples. 

The old models where too flawed; 

For that rumor I can probably agree with the choice of making new models since it makes sense models almost 10 years old are not something you want to keep using. 

The 3D models where lost; 

I truly don’t know where that idea came from and I hope it was not from the people that work in the show because that excuse is simply a lie, either ZAG has such poor control over what happens within the studio and such flaw can happen on a blink of an eye and not have any backup of the work or someone is just messing around and spreading lies. ZAG is not an indie team; they are a big studio with a big franchise and they can’t in this day and age loose so many stuffs in a go, this isn't an “Opps! I deleted the files so now we need to redo everything from ground up!” that takes money, that takes time and not months' time oh no I mean that takes TIME! A year or even more to make the executive choice, then it goes to the character designer to review the ideas they are given and what the new season will be about to then be able to work on the designs that are send to someone that will review them and come back with fixes, discarded and accepted ones and once again and again and again till they like the final product, and is it over then Crizztel? Nope! Now is the 3D modeling and rigging team part and like before someone reviews it sends it back and yada yada you know the drill by now, and that is not the finish either! You have more! Model testing, lighting and shadow testing, clipping testing, map design (2D), map reviewer, map design again(2D), map designer(3D), map reviewer, testing and you know I better stop here before I lose my mind explaining it. 

The software is old and does not work well anymore; 

Well, that’s something I can’t tell for sure because I do not know which software they actually use but many said for years it was desktop maya and yes is old but it has been improving itself since the start even now (the day I'm creating this document day 01/02/2025) the software is still being used by big studios and works just fine. 

I am not going to talk about other rumors because you already got my verdict and if you don’t will resume; is impossible for any mistake to be the reason the new season has a different animation, the models where old and since it has been such a long running show it makes sense to have a new animation to catch the eyes of new watchers and to rebrand the mark. And that is not wrong to do, is normal! Take Scooby doo for example or other shows that have been airing for a long time, is natural!  

Now we can like it or not that is a personal choice for each of us and we need to live with the idea that other people have different opinions than ours but that does not make them your enemy if their opinion is not harmful to anyone. Let's be nice to each other please. 

2- THE ANIMATION OF SEASON 6 

Now to start on a good foot, I need to say the lighting and shadow is pleasant, but that is probably a build in software work and not something they had to add in themselves which is not a bad thing; now the animation on the other hand has many issues that make me wonder how they are even made, the animation is fluid! Thats a good thing and the bad thing is that yes, the animation is fluid. 

“What the heck do you mean? Is not fluid good? Did you not say it yourself that it was good?”  

Yes! Yes, I said it, and that is something you need to learn once you study animation, on one side you have fluid animation and in the other you have realistic animation and styled animation. 

Fluid animation makes things slower, is like if you were waving good bye slowly, you can see each position the hand is in and for a sad, slow or boring (in purpose) etc scene that is great! But what if you want for example a character like Marinette to wave at someone? Is she sad? Then fluid animation it is, is she nervous? Then fluid animation and seeing each position of her hand makes things look bad. 

Thats where the new animation fails, it has no style of its own and is what people call Disney syndrome, go ahead and check Disney movies and tell me this new season is not inspired by them. 

Marinette is not a Disney character, yes you have Disney characters that are similar to her and use non fluid animation to express their personality but they still don’t get close to how cartoony Marinette is supposed to be, for Adrien, Alya, Luka and others it works just fine, they are not fully cartoon. But for her the animators of the new French studio should take matters into their own hands and animate her properly in a cartoony high energy style, Marinette won't just wave at you she will shake her arm so hard she can take flight! But the new Marinette is so fluid that any action she takes to show her cartoony side comes off putting like is made by people that did not want to study her character and decided to let the animation software do the rest for them. 

And again, is not WRONG, there is not right or wrong way to animate but there is character to how you animate things and how it expresses the character personality, mood, culture, style etc a heavy box with sand will fall different than a heavy box filled with rocks, you cannot apply the same frames and animation to one another you need to FEEL how different they are. 

And talking about feeling let's talk about texture, and if there's something that can make me sigh on the new animation is the texture; yes, I like the old latex uniform style, the new soft almost velvet like texture to them makes me wonder where their skin start and where their clothes begin. It lacks personality, it lacks individualism on a large scale of hero media, it lacks understanding of debt over the character silhouette and last but not least it lacks dept world wise. 

Where ladybug stands? Is the floor concrete? Well, it looks too soft to be so it looks from the same material her clothes are made of, why everything blurs together? Why would you want characters or objects that need attention blurred out by the texture and lighting? That makes things dizzy and uninteresting to follow and the old animation had those issues sometimes, the backgrounds weren't so good but the main characters stood out! Why? Because their texture was different, their skin had a texture and the uniform another and the background another one too that's how debt works. 

Background (should I play attention to it?) yes? Then put less focus on the texture of characters that are not the focus or objects too; no? Then give less focus on the texture of the said background. 

That makes it easier for the viewer to not feel a weird dizzy or confused while watching the scenes. 

Everything blends in within the background, objects and characters and is an easier fix than you think. 

And I could go on forever but let's give attention to for me the biggest elephant in the room.  

The character design. 

CHARACTER DESIGNS 

To not waste more time like I did above I am not going to explain in detail every little thing and will keep the review most to the characters we know since new characters would require me to watch at least 3 to 5 eps with them to get the full idea of them right (and yeah, I can do it with only one ep but hey I’m a slow person!) 

So, to start let's open with no one other than our protagonist and hero of the show! Marinette Dupain Cheng aka ladybug! 

Her older design is familiar to any fan that catches even a glimpse of her pigtails, her design although many in the fandom seem to disagree over many reasons which I won't get in at the moment since I'm either not qualified to talk about and because this is an overall focus of the NEW model.  

At first glance you cannot see any problems with the new model, sure in a personal opinion I do in fact am not a fan of the new design I can see why many accept the changes with no problem and that is totally fine but I could not help in noticing details that were changed over the old to the new; first of all Marinette reactions and main resting face changed drastic once you notice it, her old design is heavily inspired by anime but not fully, she is a good mixture of older cartoon logic which was one of the core basis in anime funny reactions. She is quirky, she is weird and she is cute that's the main idea for an awkward teen girl which can be seen by her choice of clothes and accessories. 

While past Marinette had a simple design great for producing toys and modeling at the time (in 2015 bellow you did not want to make a 3D model for a tv show too difficult to sculpt) a white shirt with her iconic cherry blossom mark, a black coat (or Blauser sorry fashion names are not my strength) pink jeans pants fitting nicely with her softer pink flats with a small but predominant of attention black bow making a clear break from the more vibrant pink from the pants and making her pallet color all fit nicely especially with her blue eyes and dark “blue” hair.  

The newer version though went to a different direction even if at first you do not see it; her white shirt loses her signature which for me as an artist feels a bit odd especially since her shirt now makes it feel like her design lacks something, that could be me just being used to the mark there but I do believe once your customer used with something changing it ends up not being a good idea, sure you can do it in a nice way but the brain will still recall the existence of it, the black bow with such a bold black line at the collar of her shirt feels oddly too bold but I can’t say it is a flaw, if it was put on the end of the shirt without the bow it could balance instead of the blue with the white it would be the white with the pink; her black coat is now adorned with flowers (cherry flowers like her previous design) and with a pink strip bringing the focus of the viewer i am in no way a fan of that i must be true and i cannot imagine what was their idea behind it, it is pointless crowded to then be met with emptiness at the white shirt and head, if something was but in her hair or neck like a necklace or a little bow to call the attention back to her face it would be more pleasing.  

She also now wears shorts in a soft pink color and those do please me if it was not for the black semitransparent pantyhose, I would find it a good choice, black and pink now are equals and that could be a hint of she becoming more mature but I do not see it as the case right now, she still acts and thinks like the old Marinette so the change of clothes is nothing more than a choice of rebranding, the black feels forced, i cannot think Marinette the ever so loving of pink simply adding more black (which looks grey because of the transparency) to her clothes, and if you take those pantyhose it would feel much better. And now to her shoes well the black is once again my issue, it cuts the pink out making it not have a clear cut from her feet to her pantyhose. The black that once helped to control the pink now seems to take over it killing it down. 

And sure, you can say I'm filled with crap with my analysis, “why is black such a bad thing? You don’t like black?” oh I love black, and I like the visual of her clothes but what I LIKE is not what should be put into perspective, i can’t go to a client and do what I like since is not a matter of my tastes but yes what is asked to represent, Marinette is a protagonist who is supposed to call the attention of young more energetic girls, i wish i could ask young kids especially girls to see if my theory is correct but i do not have the time and courage to do that research.  

She feels more mature yet the focus of her character still the same as her past self. 

I almost forgot about her model and expressions, the Disney look is quite generic, old Marinette was expressive and weird but in a funny and cute way, the new one does not seem to capture her weird features in a good way, perhaps is the lack of actual exaggeration in her features because when her face is resting it is good but once she tries to be funny it looks.... uncanny to say the least, that is the only part of her design which i stomp my feet down on saying it is a down grade from the original and she being the main character that reloaded a LOT on those expressions made me leave many scenes because of that in the middle.  

Her new model is not that bad and her old model had flaws too I could point out but not as much as the new and personally I do not like it and in a professional way I'm fine with it. 

As for ladybug yes yes you probably thought i had forgotten about her but worry not im here to also expresses my analysis over her too. 

I do not like it either, yes the same issues as above and simply because i dont think it was or is important to add more black to her suit, i am sorry but that trend on the fandom never interested me and never will as it seems is just additional stuff that is useless, does not bring debt, does not highlight something or make a clear distinction from one part to another and before you say im being only salty here because of my preferences i think shadoybug evil form is the best example ever over how to add the black to the suit, they did an incredible job with shadybug and it worked well to highlight her more villain and complex character and it does not have the blue dark hair crashing with the suit instead they made her hair black with glowing red which was perfect for a villain look, she is on the shadows but also not that interested in hiding so much and i think that's the best thing ever also an older adult ladybug would need the black to highlight her grown body and her more mature character.  

But the black with the blue dark hair mixed with red at the tips is just not a nice combo. 

She now fades deeper when side by side with her fellow team mates and that kills any importance she ever had as a leader, she is just another hero inside the team. 

And oh, talking about it we need to focus on the delta protagonist and hero Adrien and chat noir which did not change much. 

I can’t even point out this in an actual helpful manner, Adrien changed nothing other than his face and hair and it was enough to receive my thumbs down the moment i saw him, his hair looks overly grown as if they gave him chat noir hair and hey would that not be cool? Well not with such a dull color scheme that makes him look like 12 years old and if you think I'm salting on his design then i wish i could look at him through your eyes because no way his design went through the studio without anyone saying “this boy looks like he is trapped by Gabriel again” he looks depressing which with the end of past season that would be great if not by his literally chill attitude, hate on his orange shoes all you want but those where the only alive part of him that was not physically his (ex his eyes, rich blonde hair and more tanned skin) and if what the narrative wants to pass on is that Adrien is not on a good time then will clap for them but if not do not expect me to be sweet towards the Karen haircut. 

Now to be less critical we have chat noir new design, his suit looks really nice, although some details are odd like the one on the sides of his chest bellow the arm, they are just there to add more volume and trick the brain into thinking his design is even more complex than his previous suit. The issue is the face, is small, way too small, and way too sharp for a character that has long left that personality in proll to work well with his partner. He looks like he will crack a joke from season 1 but he won’t because he has moved on from that, overall, my issues with him are not fully design wise but yes modeling ones, his torso is too big for his head, his body is out of proportions and his expression had killed any sweetness his old model had.  

And this all makes me sound like i do not like his new design but i do think he was one of the better ones of the new rebrand, i just think they should not let him go to the gym so much and skip let day because he is too buff in his chest, maybe is the sadness from past seasons lol. 

I was going to review other characters but look at the size of this thing, I'm writing a bible and i hope it was not as boring as my catholic bible studies where XD but for my final opinion im going to say that personally i do not like the new season at all and im sorry for you that do like to hear once more someone complaining but is the truth; but on a professional (well student to be more honest) it is a good animation, modeling, design and rendering, not perfect and even now i do not think professional wise they did a better job than SAMG has did but since people working on the show are new to the industry i wish they evolve their skills and fix some animation issues they commited. 

now bye i talked too much.

[Review] Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (DS)

Sonic's first and last RPG.

When Canadian studio Bioware, famous for their computer RPGs like Baldur's Gate and Knights of the Old Republic, decided to branch out into handheld games, they secured the Sonic licence for their first effort (and again, last (not counting an iOS Mass Effect spinoff)). To some extent the purported passion the team had for the series shines through. On the other hand, speculation goes that the company being bought out by EA partway through development resulted in some parts of the game being rushed or underdeveloped, and this also shows.

Like Sonic Forces, the game's opening features a timeskip for some instant character development to set the stage. Eggman is gone (or is he), and Sonic has taken a sabbatical, which has caused Tails to mature a bit. But the new threat of the mysterious Marauders stealing the Chaos Emeralds gets the gang back together. Eggman of course returns, but spends much of the time reluctantly working with the heroes (even becoming a party member for a while), which makes for a very fun dynamic as he tries to resist being a proper good guy while chumming around with Tails. It turns out the baddies are a sinister clan of technologically advanced echidnas, and Sonic and pals have to venture into a very alien pocket universe to stop their plans.

Bioware specifically wanted to create a story that really dug into Sonic lore, and it ends up functioning as a last hurrah for continuity before Unleashed set a new standard of standalone games. The Nocturnus echidna clan are tied to Battle's Gizoids, there's some good character notes, plenty of references to past games, and even some nods to the old cartoons and comics. For example, Swatbots are a recurring enemy, and roboticisation is briefly featured, both being important to the 90s American cartoons. The Nocturnus clan also is very reminiscent of concepts from Archie's comics... so much so that a certain odious writer sued for copyright infringement. The case was thrown out multiple times, but Sega remains leery of referencing the game to this day, perhaps because of this individual. It's a shame because the concept is very good, and makes for a good story. Sadly, the blatant sequel hook was never followed up.

Another strength of the game is its art design. The action plays out over maps hand-drawn in a nice cartoony 2D style. Character design is solid, with stylised humans resembling Unleashed's, and the latter half of the game featuring some quite cool alien concepts... they're maybe a bit out there for a Sonic game, but that adds to their alien appeal. I do have to note the animated cutscenes too, which were seemingly animated in Flash so have a silly off-model feel similar to that of fan animations you might see on Newgrounds back in the day. Kind of nostalgic.

I'm now running out of good things to say about Sonic Chronicles. As a counterpoint to the visuals, the sound design is laughable. The music is ok, ranging from "a bit flat" to "distractingly plinky-plonky". But the sound effects in battle are just bizarre. Attacks are accompanied by stock cartoon sound effects that sound straight out of Looney Tunes, and every victory comes with a chorus of children cheering. Huh!?

My big complaint is just that the game is a slog to play. Many factors contribute to this. Battles are slow and overly difficult, while character progression is gradual and heavily gated. There's a big effort to incorporate action elements, so the game is entirely stylus-controlled; overworld exploration is DS Zelda style, and battles are full of Mario & Luigi style action commands. Moving around is tough because the backdrops can be hard to parse as traversable spaces, and you often need certain characters' abilities to progress which can require backtracking past respawning enemies to a switch spot. Battles are a total ball-ache requiring constant vigilance and quick reactions on the many tap and swipe targets in order to avoid devastating attacks and to land your own special moves. It is so agonising to miss a single touch, causing your healer (Cream is the obvious choice for this, but only has one action per round to Sonic's three) to totally fail their essential life-saving function. And it still uses up their PP!

There are so many off choices about the battles. There's frequent difficulty spikes. There's a buttload of different status ailments, good luck remembering what they all do. Your visible stats only determine your probability to hit or be hit, while actual damage and armour modifiers are hidden behind vague descriptions on equipment menus. To get any decent damage output you need to use your special moves, but each character's PP totals are miserably small. So you're expected to use a lot of consumables, but you only get one random drop from a successful battle (and no rings, and if your level is high enough EXP gain is negligible). I felt I had to save my items in order to sell them at shops, because otherwise your ring currency is only found in finite amounts on the map, and nowhere near enough to actually outfit your characters (especially when they split into two parties at certain times), and there are points of no return that cut you off from earlier maps and shops! The economy is just totally out of whack and it always feels like an uphill battle to just be scraping by.

Also found on the world maps are Chao eggs, which go into a little Chao Garden screen. These Chao are essentially another equipment slot but they do show up in battle which is cute. Unfortunately they are also finite, and the results of an egg hatching is random. Their effects are pretty minor, but can be boosted a bit by... trading with two other players? There's also special Chao in the data that would have been distributed at events, but only one was ever released legitimately. Like other gameplay aspects, the Chao mechanic feels undercooked and awkward. I was lucky enough to get one that caused automatic success on special moves without having to do touchscreen minigames. I wish all the characters had this by default! I also nabbed an EXP-boosting Chao from an existing save file on my second-hand cart, trading it via a copy of the game on flash cart on borrowed DS and 3DS units... but not everyone has this luxury.

There's a lot to like about this game... in theory. I love gathering a party of Sonic characters, including the cool edgy OC, with different skills that suit their personalities. I love the idea of exploring the overworlds, using each character's skills to traverse and find new stuff tucked away behind intricate paths. I love the story and the new dynamics it brings out of eg. Eggman or Knuckles, going from familiar settings to alien ones and building alliances in a world that richly draws from the history of the series. I just never ever want to touch this game again, to sit through the tedium of the battles, to sift through the jank to get to the nuggets of gold. The inconsistent state of the game speaks to development troubles more than any tell-all interview could, and it makes me long for a world where The Dark Brotherhood was... you know, good. But I guess that's our friggin' universe for you!

The Role of Prototyping in Mobile App Development According to UAE Experts

The fast-moving tech world in the UAE now pushes many firms to lean on mobile apps. People expect easy journeys, big reach, and almost instant services. But before a single line of code is typed, one simple step-prototyping-can make or break the whole effort.

Ask any top app studio in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, and they will warn you that skipping this step is like trying to raise a skyscraper without a single blueprint.

So what role does prototyping play in mobile app work, and why are industry experts across the Emirates shouting its praises?

Let's dig in.

What Is Prototyping in Mobile App Development?

A prototype is an early working draft of the app you can actually tap and swipe. It lays out screens, menus, user paths, and core features while leaving the heavy code on ice.

Picture it as the dress rehearsal before the real opening night.

Prototypes can be simple wireframes on paper or polished, high-fidelity demos that feel almost final. They let developers, designers, investors, and clients see how the app will act, spot problems early, and decide how much to spend on full production.

Why Are UAE Developers Putting Prototypes First?

In the last ten years, mobile-app studios across the UAE have grown up fast. With fierce competition, pickier users, and ever-shorter launch windows, local firms simply cant risk guesswork in coding any more.

That's why the region's experts now treat prototyping as a must-do step.

1. Idea Tests Done Fast

In tech-hungry cities like Dubai or Abu Dhabi, every minute—and every dirham—counts. A quick prototype lets a company show its app idea to real testers or staff before it spends a fortune.

Take a UAE fintech firm that demoed a slick payment path to a small user group. Early feedback uncovered big design holes, the team patched them at once, and months of rework vanished.

2. Lowering Build Bills

Hiccups like shaky screens, unclear steps, or broken logic can be spotted while the code is still thin. Tweaking a click path in a mock-up takes a couple of taps. Fixing the same path after the app is coded can drag on for weeks and drain thousands of dirhams.

According to a 2024 UAE development house, its best prototypes slashed rework by nearly 40 percent for large clients.

3. Improving Stakeholder Communication

Because the UAE workplace blends many cultures, getting everyone on the same page can be tough. Prototypes act like a common language, turning rough ideas into on-screen models that everyone understands.

When investors, founders, designers, and coders all click through the same demo, they give quicker, clearer, and more useful feedback. It cuts down the guessing game.

Key Benefits of Prototyping in the UAE Market

The local tech scene has its own pace and pressure. Here is how building prototypes meets those demands head-on:

A. Faster Go-to-Market Timelines

Dubai's digital-first policies expect apps out the door fast. Prototypes clear approvals, cut long email chains, and let teams move straight to code.

B. Better Localization and UX Testing

Emiratis, expats, and tourists speak many languages and follow different customs. Early models show how an Arabic menu or local imagery looks, so the final product feels natural for every group.

C. Client Trust and Transparency

In the UAE, open workflows build confidence. A clickable prototype proves the dev team shares the clients vision and gives them something real to review before any code is written.

The Prototyping Process: Tips from UAE App Pros

Leading mobile app makers in the UAE say a smooth prototyping journey follows these six simple steps:

1. Discovery Workshop

Gather everyone in the room goals, user types, and must-have features. That way, the early model mirrors real needs, not guesses.

2. Wireframing

Quick, low-detail sketches map out screens and show which parts matter most. Theyre easy to tweak and help everyone agree on the layout fast.

3. Interactive Mockups

With Figma, Adobe XD, or InVision, designers link those sketches into a working click-through. Users see app behaviour-up and running yet still code-free.

4. User Testing

Real people poke at the mock-up while the team watches. Their comments spotlight rough spots and paths that confuse.

5. Iteration and Approval

Notes turn into tweaks, and a fresh build rolls back to stakeholders. With green lights, developers can dive safely into full build-out.

Real UAE Case Studies: Prototyping that Delivered

Case 1: Government Utility App

A leading UAE ministry teamed with a local studio to move fee-paying services online. A quick prototype showed users hunting endlessly for the right service button.

Early testing let the crew redesign menus, slashing support calls by 60 percent after launch.

Case 2: Health & Fitness Startup in Abu Dhabi

This Abu Dhabi startup set out to build a fitness-tracking app just for Arabic speakers. By creating high-speed, clickable prototypes, the team compared two design styles and found a card-based layout drew far more attention in local test groups.

The payoff? User retention soared 30 percent during the app's first month.

Common Tools Used by UAE Developers for Prototyping

UAE firms that offer mobile app development lean on these go-to tools:

Figma Cloud-based, team-friendly design that lets anyone prototype in minutes.

InVision Make interactive screens and quick mockups that feel real.

Adobe XD Vector design plus animations packed into a single workspace.

Balsamiq Sketch-like wireframes that focus on flow, not polish.

These platforms let teams map journeys, gather feedback, and fine-tune the UI on the fly.

How Prototyping Enhances ROI for UAE Businesses

Prototyping is more than practice-it is a smart move that lifts return on investment. Here's what you gain:

- Lower Development Risk Major bugs get flagged early, so surprises drop later.

- Better Product-Market Fit Constant testing proves the app matches real user needs.

- Faster Time to Revenue Shorter build cycles mean customers see it-and pay for it-sooner.

In an innovation-driven economy like the UAE, speed and accuracy matter more than ever.

Final Thoughts: Why UAE Businesses Must Embrace Prototyping

Whether you're a new startup in Sharjah or a long-standing enterprise in Dubai, one truth stands out: prototyping is no longer an extra step-its a must-have. A working model gives you the plan, the safety net, and the clear story needed to launch mobile apps that stand out in an overcrowded market.

Industry experts across the Emirates now say an app's success hinges on good guidance as much as on clean code, and that guidance begins with a prototype.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at In-House Film Production Workflows

Brands are increasingly using in-house film production to cut costs, preserve creative control, and streamline processes in an era of fast content cycles and high audience expectations. An in-house model consolidates all capabilities under one roof, as opposed to contracting out each step of a video project to different vendors. We examine how this integrated approach works below, from the initial idea to the finished product, and why it is revolutionizing contemporary media production.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Amit (@amitsingh.dop)

1. Pre-Production: Establishing an Effective Basis Long before the camera rolls, in-house film production gets underway. Concepts are honed and logistics are finalized during the pre-production stage:

Kick-Off Workshop & Creative Brief

To establish goals, target audience, key messages, and success metrics, teams from strategy, creative, and production come together. Deliverables (such as a 2-minute hero film or a 30-second social cut) and distribution channels are described in a shared document.

Storyboarding and Scriptwriting

Writers create scripts that strike a balance between narrative momentum and brand voice. Storyboards map camera angles, transitions, and on-screen graphics, converting text into visual frames. This step benefits from real-time feedback loops between graphic artists, directors, and writers in an internal setting.

Allocating Resources and Scheduling

Producers schedule talent, reserve studio time, and assign equipment using digital calendars and resource-management software. Internal management of all equipment and staff reduces booking conflicts, removes markups, and expedites approvals.

2. Production: Bringing the Vision to Life

Standardized workflows that put efficiency first are followed by in-house crews:

Stand-Up in the Morning

The department heads (camera, lighting, art, sound, and digital tech) gather for a 10-minute huddle at the beginning of each shoot day to discuss progress, confirm daily objectives, and identify any obstacles.

Technical Practice & Setup

Camera blocking :To improve camera paths and framing, the director and cinematographer block movements.

Lighting Tests: To create mood and guarantee uniformity throughout shots, gaffers modify key, fill, and backlights.

Sound Checks: To ensure clear audio capture, boom operators and sound mixers test microphones and ambient levels.

Photography Principal

A digital technician tethers footage to monitors to record scenes in takes. Instant quality checks are made possible by this real-time playback, which enables immediate approval of focus, exposure, performance, and framing.

Preparation in Parallel

The art department and wardrobe stylists set up the next scene while the current one is playing.

3. Post-Production: Creating the Last Cut

Close cooperation between editors, colorists, sound designers, and visual effects artists is possible with an in-house model:

Media Consumption & Structure

A centralized asset management system receives all of the clips. To make search and review easier, metadata such as scene, take, and camera settings are tagged.

Editing Offline

Editors put together a rough cut, paying attention to the pacing and narrative flow. Frequent "cut-in-place" meetings with directors guarantee that the tone and structure are in agreement.

Music Integration & Sound Design

They apply audio sweetening, eliminate noise, and balance levels to produce a captivating auditory experience.

Visual Effects & Color Grading

For smooth integration, VFX artists frequently work directly with editors to add titles, motion graphics, or composite elements.

Client Evaluation and Iteration

The project stays on track thanks to quick feedback cycles, which typically last between 24 and 48 hours.

4. Interdepartmental Cooperation: The Internal Benefit

The organizational and physical co-location of teams is a defining characteristic of in-house film production.

Faster Communication: Short talks in the hallway take the place of long email exchanges, allowing for immediate problem solving.

Creative Synergy: As team members listen to and support one another's work, ideas come to them naturally.

Unified Quality Standards: By ensuring that all assets adhere to brand guidelines, shared review sessions strengthen a shared vision.

5. Advantages & Business Effects

Companies that use internal production processes benefit from a number of real benefits:

Speed to Market: Project timelines can be shortened by up to 30% by doing away with vendor coordination and external approvals.

Cost Savings: Compared to fully outsourced models, bundled in-house rates for labor, studio space, and equipment reduce overhead by 20–40%.

Creative Control: One cohesive team protects brand coherence and responds swiftly to shifting specifications or industry trends.

Data security: By keeping sensitive projects inside, the risks of sharing proprietary footage are reduced.

Brands can create more content faster and with more creative coherence by implementing in-house film production processes. Organizations can increase efficiency without compromising quality by combining all stages—from pre-production to post—into a single framework. Given the continued dominance of video on digital platforms, an internal model provides the flexibility and control that modern marketers require.

Reading and Importing Data in SAS: CSV, Excel, and More

In the world of data analytics, efficient data importation is a fundamental skill. SAS (Statistical Analysis System), a powerful platform for data analysis and statistical computing, offers robust tools to read and import data from various formats, including CSV, Excel, and more. Regardless of whether you are a beginner or overseeing analytics at an enterprise level, understanding how to import data into SAS is the initial step towards obtaining valuable insights.

This article breaks down the most common methods of importing data in SAS, along with best practices and real-world applications—offering value to everyone from learners in a Data Analyst Course to experienced professionals refining their workflows.

Why Importing Data Matters in SAS

Before any analysis begins, the data must be accessible. Importing data correctly ensures integrity, compatibility, and efficiency in processing. SAS supports a range of formats, allowing analysts to work with data from different sources seamlessly. The most common among these are CSV and Excel files due to their ubiquity in business and research environments.

Understanding how SAS handles these files can drastically improve productivity, particularly when working with large datasets or performing repetitive tasks in reporting and modelling.

Importing CSV Files into SAS

Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files are lightweight, easy to generate, and commonly used to exchange data. In SAS, importing CSVs is straightforward.

When importing a CSV file, SAS treats each line as an observation and each comma as a delimiter between variables. This format is ideal for users who deal with exported data from databases or web applications.

Best Practices:

Clean your CSV files before importing—ensure no missing headers, extra commas, or encoding issues.

Use descriptive variable names in the first row of the CSV to streamline your SAS workflow.

Always review the imported data to verify that variable types and formats are interpreted correctly.

Professionals undertaking a Data Analyst Course often begin with CSV files due to their simplicity, making this an essential foundational skill.

Importing Excel Files into SAS

Excel files are the go-to format for business users and analysts. They often contain multiple sheets, merged cells, and various data types, which adds complexity to the import process.

SAS provides built-in tools for reading Excel files, including engines like XLSX and the Import Wizard, which are available in SAS Studio or Enterprise Guide. These tools allow users to preview sheets, specify ranges, and even convert date formats during import.

Key Considerations:

Ensure the Excel file is not open during import to avoid access errors.

Use consistent formatting in Excel—SAS may misinterpret mixed data types within a single column.

If your Excel workbook contains multiple sheets, decide whether you need to import one or all of them.

Advanced users and those enrolled in a Data Analytics Course in Mumbai often work with Excel as part of larger data integration pipelines, making mastery of these techniques critical.

Importing Data from Other Sources

Beyond CSV and Excel, SAS supports numerous other data formats, including:

Text files (.txt): Often used for raw data exports or logs.

Database connections: Through SAS/ACCESS, users can connect to databases like Oracle, SQL Server, or MySQL.

JSON and XML: Increasingly used in web-based and API data integrations.

SAS Datasets (.sas7bdat): Native format with optimised performance for large datasets.

Each format comes with its own import nuances, such as specifying delimiters, encoding schemes, or schema mappings. Familiarity with these enhances flexibility in working with diverse data environments.

Tips for Efficient Data Importing

Here are a few practical tips to improve your SAS data importing skills:

Automate repetitive imports using macros or scheduled jobs.

Validate imported data against source files to catch discrepancies early.

Log and document your import steps—especially when working in team environments or preparing data for audits.

Stay updated: SAS frequently updates its procedures and import capabilities to accommodate new formats and security standards.

Learning and Upskilling with SAS

Importing data is just one piece of the SAS puzzle. For aspiring data professionals, structured training offers the advantage of guided learning, hands-on practice, and industry context. A Data Analyst training will typically begin with data handling techniques, setting the stage for more advanced topics like modelling, visualisation, and predictive analytics.

For learners in metro regions, a Data Analytics Course in Mumbai can provide local networking opportunities, expert mentorship, and exposure to real-world projects involving SAS. These programs often include training in data import techniques as part of their curriculum, preparing students for the demands of modern data-driven roles.

Final Thoughts

Reading and importing data into SAS is a vital skill that underpins all subsequent analysis. Whether you're working with CSV files exported from a CRM, Excel spreadsheets from finance teams, or direct connections to enterprise databases, mastering these tasks can significantly enhance your efficiency and accuracy.

By understanding the nuances of each data format and leveraging SAS's powerful import tools, you’ll be better equipped to manage data workflows, ensure data quality, and drive valuable insights. And for those committed to building a career in analytics, a course could be the stepping stone to mastering not just SAS but the entire data science pipeline.

Master Urban Photography: Capturing NYC Street Art Trends

As we explore the vibrant world of NYC street art, we’ll uncover how each mural and piece reflects the city’s unique cultural tapestry. By understanding the neighborhoods that serve as living galleries, we can enhance our photography skills and create compelling narratives. We’ll also examine the essential gear and techniques that elevate our work, all while engaging with the community to enrich our perspective. But what specific trends should we be looking for, and how can we capture them effectively? Let’s consider these questions together.

Understanding NYC Street Art

Street art in NYC embodies a vibrant tapestry of creativity that reflects the city’s diverse cultural narratives. As street photographers, we find ourselves drawn to the dynamic interplay between the art and its urban surroundings.

Capturing candid moments amidst graffiti, murals, and installations reveals not just the art itself, but the stories behind them. Every piece tells a tale of community, resistance, or celebration, and we get to document these compelling visuals.

Exploring New York City’s neighborhoods, we discover unique aesthetics that inspire our personal style. From the colorful streets of Bushwick to the iconic walls of the Lower East Side, we’re surrounded by endless opportunities.

Each snapshot we take serves as a reflection of the city’s ever-evolving culture, showcasing the emotions and interactions that occur daily.

Essential Gear for Urban Photography

Capturing the vibrant energy of urban landscapes requires more than just an eye for detail; it also demands the right gear. As street photographers, we need to ensure our camera in hand is lightweight and functional, allowing us to move swiftly through bustling streets.

A standard lens, like a 35 mm, is perfect for reflecting what we see, while a wide-angle lens helps us include more of the environment, playing with light and shadow.

To truly excel at capturing fleeting moments, we should prioritize high-speed burst shooting features in our cameras. This capability allows us to freeze dynamic interactions and street art in action.

Additionally, having extra memory cards and batteries on hand keeps us prepared for long days of shooting without interruption.

Comfortable, discreet bags, like a concealed shoulder bag, help us blend into our surroundings while protecting our gear.

And don’t forget about the beauty of black and white photography; it can add a timeless quality to our urban images.

With the right gear and a keen eye, we can beautifully document the ever-evolving narrative of street art in our cities.

Techniques for Capturing Street Art

Urban environments teem with vibrant street art, offering a treasure trove of photographic opportunities. To truly excel in capturing these dynamic visuals, we should embrace spontaneity and be ready for unexpected moments. Discreet camera handling allows us to focus on composition without drawing attention.

As we wander the streets, let’s experiment with different angles and perspectives—sometimes a low or high angle can transform an ordinary shot into something striking.

Focusing on faces and emotional expressions enhances our storytelling. Timing is crucial; we need to be ready to snap the shutter as people go about their day, interacting with the art around them. Capturing these fleeting interactions not only elevates our photography but also tells a richer story.

Let’s remember to document our photo walks. Reviewing our shots helps us learn and refine our techniques over time. By immersing ourselves in the environment and understanding the context of the art, we can deepen our connection to the community.

With practice, we’ll grow more comfortable and confident in capturing the essence of street art in its lively urban setting.

Engaging With the Community

Engaging with the community enriches our urban photography experience, allowing us to connect more deeply with the vibrant narratives that unfold around us. When we take pictures at local events or collaborate with businesses, we not only capture the essence of our city but also contribute to meaningful community engagement.

By volunteering our photography services for charity fundraisers for nonprofits, we document community stories that resonate with others and highlight the good happening around us.

Additionally, hosting workshops and photo walks enables us to share our passion and knowledge with aspiring photographers. This fosters a sense of belonging and creativity, encouraging others to see the city through their lenses.

[Review] Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal (3DS)

Maybe Sonic Boom works better in 2D than 3D.

Alongside Rise of Lyric, Sega commissioned a handheld companion game within their Sonic Boom line. Development duties went to Sanzaru Games, another American studio who had previously made the Sly Cooper 3D platformers. This is actually their first 2D game (well, 2.5D anyway) and while it's less ambitious than RoL, it is much more successful at fulfilling those lower ambitions.

While RoL had a flash-forward cold open, this one abruptly starts in medias res with Lyric accosting Amy. Amy apparently is an archaeologist of sorts, and Lyric mind controls her to find the secrets of a lost extra crystal, tying into the MacGuffin objects in RoL. This sadly puts Amy in the "damsel in distress" role, but it does make room on the D-pad character switcher for Sticks to be playable this time (yay!). Incidentally, Lyric is not given an introduction in in-game cutscenes, but gets some backstory in the form of a short comic that is only viewable after level 1, which also sets up the present-day events. It's done by the Archie team of Ian Flynn and Evan Stanley, and [fun fact] is the only time that Sega let them put Lyric or Boom Shadow in any kind of comic medium.

The game plays out on a 2D plane with occasional dips into the foreground or background in short transitional sequences. It reminded me a little of Generations 3DS since it has a boost/dash button (unlimited use here, but doesn't damage enemies until you get an unlockable perk late on) and a mid-air homing attack. You also get the Enerbeam for grapple swinging and removing enemy shields, and each character has their own abilities and interactions. Tails can hover and throw bombs, Knuckles can burrow, Sticks throws her boomerang, and Sonic has a versatile air dash. As you encounter the characters and quickly build your team, you can swap between them on the fly which is needed to progress and find optional areas.

Although the format feels a lot more like traditional Sonic than RoL, this is similarly more slow-paced and exploratory than many of the series' 2D outings. I do think it strikes a good balance and flow, helped by quick on-the-spot respawns from pits as long as you have rings. The levels can be sprawling, and it's not always obvious which path leads onwards or to optional goodies, but it's usually possible to backtrack or loop to earlier portions. And you will need to do this, as completionist plays of levels become necessary. In a good use of the bottom screen, a scrollable map does help you get around and find goodies.

Saying this game only has eight (8) levels sounds absurd, but it's not the full story. The levels are huge, with full collectathon runs taking upwards of 15 minutes while the time trials often have a goal over 5 minutes. Each one also consists of two different environments that you bounce back and forth between using Enerbeam slingshots. These levels have a series of goals: time trials and ring collection give tokens to unlock character model dioramas, while collection of all blueprints (for unlocking passive perks, much more useful here than RoL's equivalent bonuses) and crystal shards give crests that unlock new levels. If you try to just breeze through you quickly encounter a hard roadblock that makes you go back and repeat levels for crests. I'm the type who enjoys doing and getting everything so it suited me, but it might not be to everyone's tastes that this is required.

Along with the eight main levels, there are race levels... kind of like the races in Generations 3DS. These use the same engine to have you beat another character through a fast-paced platforming level, and I found them fun to learn and improve. Another type of side level is the worm chase, an into-the-screen autorunning affair which Sanzaru would build on in their Tron Run/r game soon after this. These were less enjoyable for me and more demanding, although they're simpler to control. Rounding out the whole game is a Lyric battle—the only boss fight—which is not bad and incorporates platforming between phases. These other level types are a good way to flesh out the package and break up the action between the gigantic regular levels.

One of the strengths of the Sonic Boom show is its array of goofy side characters, and while RoL slotted a few in, there's a dearth here. Shadow at least has slightly more of an integral role in Shattered Crystal, but oddly Eggman has barely a cameo! However SC does stand head and shoulders over RoL in the script department as it actually remembers that Sonic Boom is a comedy series, and has lots of silly interactions between the characters before and after each level. The credited external writers weren't involved with the show but they seem to get it, and it makes this game feel more authentically part of the setting.

Speaking of the setting, the game looks lovely with varied environments and lots of detail in the backgrounds. The Donkey Kong Country-style world map helps give a sense of place and context to the levels, although it's far too zoomed in so you can't even see where the paths take you, which means a lot of trial and error to find levels. Trial and error on the map screen! What were they thinking!!

Shattered Crystal always got points for me by including a playable Sticks, but now that I've played it, it turns out it's a decent game as well. It feels more like a Sonic game than Rise of Lyric, but also shakes up the format a lot in ways that I like by encouraging exploration and interaction, even if it's relatively simple. I also think it does well specifically as part of the Sonic Boom series. I'm excited to see how Sanzaru builds on it with their second game!

11/03/2025 Tutorial & Presentation Refinement

During my tutorial session, the professor mentioned that I should prepare a themed presentation. This was mainly for branding purposes, as we need to present our concept to a game industry professional.

The professor suggested that I extract a color palette from my existing artwork and use a textured brush to create a background for the slides. Based on this advice, I chose dark red, pale yellow, and light blue and created a textured background, which I then applied to my presentation.

I also arranged my concept art in a structured order: Level Design → Hostile Design → Prop Design.

Issues in the First Draft & Improvements

While reviewing my first draft, I noticed that some designs that were clearly visible on a white background became hard to distinguish against the dark red background.

Additionally, the professor provided layout suggestions:

Some images needed to be brighter or have higher contrast to stand out.

Adding captions or explanations would help ensure that important details were not overlooked.

For the cover slide, he recommended including a teaser element to give the audience a hint of what to expect.

For the second version, I made these adjustments and also illustrated a small cover image to enhance the visual impact.

Additional Feedback from Another Professor

Another professor suggested that for explaining Mirror Maze tactics, I should use Blender models instead of just 2D diagrams, similar to what I did for the Merry-Go-Round tactics.

I tried replacing Reflective Mirror and Shattered Mirror with 3D models, but Rotating Mirror was difficult to present properly in Blender, so I decided to keep it as a 2D diagram.

These are what I eventually came up with:

He also recommended that I redraw the key visual for the Boss Fight to emphasize its importance as the final battle. Since I didn’t have much time before the deadline, I couldn’t create a fully detailed illustration, but I still redrew a key scene and adjusted the layout.

For this new Boss Fight visual, I took a screenshot of my Blender model. Then, I used Clip Studio Paint’s free 3D human model for figure references. I created a black-and-white sketch, then applied a gradient map for basic color.

I tried to enhance visual contrast by using two standout colors:

Red → representing the Boss’s danger signals & puppet strings controlling the player.

Blue → representing the player’s bullet trajectory.

Final Adjustments & Submission

The last piece of feedback was to include screenshots of my Blender models in the props section and label which parts of the models corresponded to my concept art.

I made all the necessary revisions and restructured the layout where needed, hoping for the best final result before the submission deadline.

Below is the first draft, with blue annotations showing the professor’s feedback.

Below is the final version, which I submitted on the due date.
