Ayala I receive a message as I initiate deactivation protocols. Deactivating takes many years. My systems, my three rings, are not designed to terminate easily as we wander through the cosmos. Despite the redundant process, it is part of my core program: if the worst comes to pass, wait for someone to reactivate me, to help, to rebuild, to wait ten thousand years should that not happen, to end functions after the allotted time if no one ever comes. Unfortunately, there is no one organic left to find me. But core programming is core programming, and I am nearly finished. That is when I hear the old distress signal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636a583e77b0d44468d9978c/c3762e3a-3f1b-4585-a3be-7da5680881bf/moon+falling+cover.jpg Blog (News & Articles) - Awards Eligibility 2024, V.M.

Ayala “Luz tried everything to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge. Hammers, axes, magic, saws, more magic, fire, even more magic (and magic explosions). Still, the door refused her. Why? After all this time and effort, why wouldn’t the damn thing open? Sure, it was an enchanted door that would open the path to a potentially catastrophic amount of magic pouring back into the universe, causing endless natural disasters that would drown or bury most cities from existence. But! There was an equally high chance that wouldn’t happen and that the magic had been sealed away by ignorant fools for nothing. She had to believe there was a reason why she could tap into a sliver of the magic locked behind the door; that this was it, her singular life purpose: open the door, restore its magic back to everyone like it used to be in the stories, where anyone could use magic, for good or bad.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636a583e77b0d44468d9978c/fe7ce055-a4e0-42ab-8abb-66ef9b44478f/Escape-Pod-social.jpg Blog (News & Articles) - Awards Eligibility 2023, V.M. Ayala “The incoming mech’s sharp metal angles were humanoid like Arbor’s. Two hands, two feet. This model’s design was new, its frame less bulky and more streamlined. It was freshly painted blue and silver with huge blue, glass eye sensors—a contrast to Arbor’s dented weathered shell and red eyes. The other mech’s MIND—a cute corporate acronym for Monitoring Interface Neural Driver—blipped into existence, a projected hologram of faded colors and warped outlines, and peered over the edge of her robot’s helmet plate in awe. She was listed as Crowe, her name and ID hovering above her. She wore a pink bomber jacket with glowing white lines. Her curly hair was a gradient of pink, white, and blue, her skin just a shade darker than Arbor’s own dark brown. She was super cute. Arbor was relieved they still felt infatuation, simulated or not. “Sorry!” Crowe said. “I was admiring the view and found myself drifting.”” https://www.spacevalkyries.com/blog/demos-steam-next-fest-feb-2024 monthly 0.5 2024-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636a583e77b0d44468d9978c/2d4b9a02-1144-49a2-912c-4250947bf7f2/2024+steam+next+fest+-+february.jpg Blog (News & Articles) -

BioWare Should Take Notes from Emet-Selch for Solas’ Arc - Make it stand out Emet-Selch is one of my favorite villains. He’s irreverent, unapologetic, tragically full of despair, and connects with you even in his final moments after your final fight with him in Shadowbringers. Solas is also one of my favorite companions-turned-villains, and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is setting him up for a similarly epic and emotional fall. How Shadowbringers and Endwalker handle Emet-Selch’s story arc made him a fan favorite, and I hope BioWare takes notes in order to make Solas a more compelling villain in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. As a huge Dragon Age and Final Fantasy XIV fan, the similarities between Emet-Selch and Solas are impossible to ignore. Both are gods in their own rights. Both come from an ancient and tragically destroyed era. Both want to bring that reality back, even if it means destroying the world. It’ll be worth it to both of them if murdering everyone in what they both view as false or horrible versions of their realities brings their people, their loved ones, back from a terrible fate. That flawed logic is ultimately why they’re the villains of their narratives. Emet-Selch creates catastrophes and an entire empire to upend the world to free the primal Zodiark and use that power to bring back the Ancients. Solas, likewise, decides to plunge the world into chaos, killing thousands through war and destruction in order to weaken the Veil so that he might tear it down and bring back the ancient elves. You also get to experience both of these characters in settings outside of their villainous actions and choices. For most of Shadowbringers, Emet-Selch is an antagonistic companion that promises not to hinder you. He’s curious about the Warrior of Light and even goes so far as to help several times, showing moments of vulnerability and sadness about what he lost, his friends. But while Emet is violent, callous, and cruel, there are also moments in Shadowbringers where he considers the possibility that you’re right, that the world as it is now isn’t so horrible after all, that maybe he should stop his world-ending schemes. He ultimately decides to fight you to the bitter end, but there’s a sad resignation to him in his final scene. You can’t help but pity him. These dual experiences,which let the player see a personal side to Emet-Selch, are what made him so popular; similarly, BioWare could evoke similar reactions with Solas in Dragon Age: Dreadwolf by calling back to the experiences many had with him in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Because the two characters are very adjacent—even their backstories are similar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/636a583e77b0d44468d9978c/186c74aa-d156-48a9-b0af-81fb788e2592/ffxiv_dx11+2023-04-13+15-20-29.png Blog (News & Articles) -
