ZA/UMZA/UM is known for its genius RPG Disco Elysium and, lately, the drama surrounding the mysterious departure of its creators. Former ZA/UM developers joined The 41st Precinct in a huge 18-hour interview to share what actually happened.The gist of what we already knew is that in 2021, the studios key creators, lead designer Robert Kurvitz, writer Helen Hindpere, and lead artist Aleksander Rostov, left it in, as another developer, Martin Luiga, would later say, an involuntary manner.ZA/UMs leadership claimed it was due to misconduct (Rostov and Kurvitz were allegedly humiliating colleagues and intending to steal IP,) but former writers Argo Tuulik and Dora Klindi have another story to tell.Take a seat and get ready for scandalous reveals after years of silence.ZA/UMAccording to Tuulik, back in 2020, the management wasnt happy with Kurvitz and Rostovs volatility and wanted to rein them in. Tuulik said that you could look at the situation differently, but the malicious idea back then was to sort of also neuter them in a way.The team wanted to work on a sequel, but the management needed them to finish Final Cut, so the sequel was like a carrot, in Tuuliks words: in your line of sight but unachievable.At some point, Kurvitz started feeling that he was losing his influence, he didnt like being just a writer, and the shift in the studios leadership structure was getting to him. Moreover, Kurvitz would say that Tnis Haavel, an investor and the studio CEO Ilmar Kompuss brother-in-law, manipulated him and made him think Rostov was not fit for his art director role. Kurvitz wanted him to relinquish his position and focus on creative stuff only. Eventually, Rostov did admit he was not fit to lead, he was burned out.At one point, either Kurvitz or Haavel suggested they push Rostov out: he would be sidelined, and Kurvitz would get his shares. Kurvitz and Haavel pointed at each other when talking about who came up with the plan, so the details are not clear.Whoever the villain was, the damage was done: the members of the resistance group didnt know who to trust. However, they trusted Justin Keenan, the studios writer and narrative designer.In 2021, the developer Zaum Studio O was acquired by Ttreke O, a holding company owned by Kompus. Getting back from a vacation in summer, the team learned that ZA/UM had changed owners, and suddenly, they felt not as important, they lost their high positions. At that moment, Kurvitz, Rostov, and Hindpere started suspecting that the management was trying to bring them down.After one of the resistance groups meetings, where they discussed what to do with the change, Keenan reported it to the management, claiming Rostov called Haavel a financial criminal, and the leadership used his and artist Kaspar Tamsalus testimonies to fire Rostov.Later, Kurvitz and Hindperes dismissal was at first framed as a little break so they could cool down: Of course, obviously its not final, come on, no one would end the relationship with this kind of creators of the of the whole world of Elysium, how would that work, the leadership said, in Tuuliks words.But firing Rostov made Kurvitz and Hindpere realize they would not be coming back. While with the first case, ZA/UM at least tried to make it lawful, the circumstances of the latter are questionable.ZA/UMIn 2022, Kurvitz and Rostov accused Kompus and Haavel of obtaining control over ZA/UM by fraud. They allegedly bought the shares held by Margus Linname, a businessman and investor, becoming the majority shareholder. Tuulik said that while Kurvitz, Rostov, and Kaur Kender, DEs executive producer, held 10% of the shares each, Linname had 30%, and by buying out this part, Kompus and Haavel managed to change the studios structure without the others permission, so it seems Kurvitz and Rostovs open letter was true.ZA/UMIts key members leaving ZA/UM didnt stop it from continuing work on other projects. There was, of course, the sequel to Disco Elysium, codenamed Y12. As Klindi remembers, the team was working on the game when suddenly, the leadership started approving changes to the script, which usually took much more persuasion. This was suspicious, and then one day, the management called a meeting and began discussing a new project. When asked about it, they confirmed the worst: Y12 was no longer in development. Naturally, the developers were devastated, but their questions were left unanswered.The new project could be an opportunity to create another signature title for the studio, but the concept was not something Klindi or Tuulik would agree to, even though the management said everybody agreed to the idea. There were some real quality concerns and misogynistic depictions, according to Klindi.This is one of the worst things Ive seen in my entire life, Tuulik added. Honestly, it would have been offensive for a middle school project. It combines boredom and intellectual vanity.Those who dared to point out how offensive some ideas were got invited to one-on-ones and reminded that they should not talk back to their superiors.While developers were scared for their careers, abandoning the DE sequel was a good move, in many peoples views, because it would not be the same without the original creators. Aside from Y12, there were X7, a DE spin-off, and P1, a sci-fi game led by Kender both also canceled.From what we know, ZA/UM is now working on M0, a smaller Elysium game for touchscreen devices, and C4, a large-scale RPG, but Disco Elysium keeps living in the original developers hearts: former DE makers opened 3 new studios Longdue, Dark Math Games, and Summer Eternal where they try to bring back that magic with their own, unique, twist.Tuulik and Klindi talk about some of the projects as well as ZA/UM Atelier, the studios power trips, and the PMG documentary in the 9-hour Part 1 of the interview.

Last summer, SAG-AFTRA called for a voice actors strike against video game publishers over numerous issues including AI protections. Although the union has reached deals with a handful of publishers, the strike is still ongoing. Now, Bungie has confirmed that the upcoming Destiny 2: Heresy expansion will include scenes that are missing spoken dialogue because a deal with the actors has yet to be reached.In an update on Bungie's official site, the developer noted that "certain voice lines" were not recorded because of the actors strike. In those scenes, Destiny 2 will enable subtitles by default in order to carry the narrative forward despite the missing audio. The update also notes that any Heresy activities that are missing voice overs will feature an on-screen warning before starting. However, the update doesn't address whether those lines will be recorded when the strike ends.Over on Bluesky, a voice actor going by Orchid shared their response to the news by reiterating the actors' desire to "get a fair deal" that addresses their AI concerns.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Its been less than a day since I saw the long-awaited sequel (Disney screened the film for press just 17 hours ago), but unlike with the overwhelming let-me-hear-that-again rush of experiencingMoanafor the first time, I dont have the lingering gut feeling that Ive missed something. In the end,Moana 2is a vehicle for one banger, a feel-good throwback, and a few songs well never talk about again, which doesnt feel like enough for a brand-newMoana.The Count of Monte CristoWhere to watch: Available to rent on Amazon, Apple, and VuduGenre: Historical action adventureRun time: 2h 58mDirectors: Alexandre de La Patellire, Matthieu DelaporteCast: Pierre Niney, Bastien Bouillon, Anas DemoustierThe directors of the two-part 2023 adaptation of The Three Musketeers are back, this time with an adaptation of Alexandre Dumas acclaimed revenge story.

The 37-year-old ghost cat was once a regular house cat who just continued to age and somehow transformed into an anthropomorphic cat. Anzu finds himself in charge of 11-year-old Karin, a surly preteen who doesnotwant to be spending the summer with her grandfather and his weird adult human cat. The two clash, but eventually embark on an adventure into the underworld to break out Karins mother.Ghost Cat Anzu sparkles with wonderful animation, particularly when it comes to the character expression and design.From our review:Ghost Cat Anzuworks best when the mix of the mundane and the mythical is balanced. For instance,Anzu inviting a host of forest spiritsto his temple for a party is a hilarious setup that gives Karin a chance to relate her feelings to the ragtag group. But the eventual journey to the land of the dead ends up dragging and muddling the movies message.

The micromoments ofjoy.Imagine using a app that just moves from one screen to another, boring and static. Now compare it to an app where every transition feels natural. Animations can make digital experiences feel magical. Give the user something to remember and feel good about using that product over and over again. In this post, Ill share examples from apps Ive encountered over the past decade of my product design journey, and detailing out some of my thumb-rules to add delight into yourapps.https://60fps.design/shots/tilt-otp-verifiedWhy itmattersDelight in app design goes beyond adding fun interactionsits about creating experiences that make software feel more human and responsive. Its the thoughtful details that make an app feel good, creating an emotional connection between the user and theproduct.From a psychological perspective, delightful design taps into the brains reward system. When users experience a smooth transition, a playful animation, or a satisfying interaction, it triggers a small release of dopaminethe chemical associated with pleasure and reward. These micro-moments of joy not only make the experience more enjoyable but also encourage users to keep coming back. The key lies in crafting those aha moments where the experience feels both novel and meaningful, creating a lasting impression.In a crowded market, its these small but impactful details that make a product stand out, transforming it into an experience users cherish and remember.https://60fps.design/apps/mistDelightful experiences feelnaturalIn the real world, nothing appears or disappears instantly, yet apps often feel artificial due to abrupt changes. To create a more natural experience, transitions should ease users into changes rather than jarringthem.Smooth and realistic animations bridge the gap between digital and physical, making interactions feel intuitive.Like in the Airbnb iOS app example above, the host passport reveal animation feels natural, like flipping through a real passport. Its smooth motion makes the experience intuitive and enjoyable.https://60fps.design/shots/airbnb-host-reveal-animationSimilarly, the shot below from Untitled iOS App lets you swap out discs as if you were doing it in real life while selecting a profile picture. The cover naturally expands to type in the username, perfectly mimicking real-world interaction of a CDholder.https://60fps.design/shots/untitled-disk-picker-interactionDelightful experiences engages thesensesWhen multiple senses are engagedthrough visual, auditory, or tactile feedbackusers form a stronger emotional connection with the product. These sensory touches not only elevate the experience but also leave a lasting impression of the brand in the usersmemory.In the Opal iOS app, unlocking a gem feels so satisfyingyou tap to crack the stone bit by bit, with every tap giving you haptic feedback and sound. On the final crack, the gem bursts out and scales up with a magical sound. Totally gamified and sofun!https://60fps.design/shots/opal-gem-unlocked-animationIn the Not Boring Habits iOS app, checking off a habit feels so rewardingits has this zooming sound, haptics, light rays filling in the check, and then a final explosion. So satisfying!https://60fps.design/shots/not-boring-habits-long-press-mark-habit-interactionDelightful experiences feel purposefulBy selectively emphasizing certain elements or moments, you can guide the users focus and make features more memorable. Even rarely used features deserve attention; surprising users with thoughtful details in these areas can create moments of delight that feel fresh andnovel.Like in the Airbnb iOS app example below, your eye is instantly drawn to the pop-up, framing it as a rare place to find and building trust. The gem spins and sparkles, and the text subtly bounces with a spring effect, making the whole interaction feel so smooth andnatural.https://60fps.design/apps/airbnbThe slider on Gentler Streak is such a fun touchthe mascot shows emotions as you adjust exertion levels after a workout, and the haptics match the vibe. Soft feedback when youre below range and quicker, snappier haptics when youre in the usualrange.https://60fps.design/apps/gentler-streakDelightful experiences balance intensityNot all moments require the same level of emphasis. Varying the intensity of delightful touches ensures that interactions remain special overtime.https://benji.org/family-values#delight-through-selective-emphasisUsing too many delightful features, especially in parts of the app people use often, can lose its impact. Instead, keep things subtle where it makes sense and highlight where it will surpriseusers.From Queue iOS app with emotes popping out above the pause button to subtly emphasise that playback is active. This small interaction feels intentional and adds charm without overwhelming theuser.https://60fps.design/shots/queue-emoji-pop-animationIn the Miles iOS app, the welcome sheet smoothly transforms into the permission sheet, creating a sense of flow and continuity. Each movement feels natural, like stepping forward in a physical space. Many apps stick to static transitions, focusing only on speed. While speed matters, I believe using motion thoughtfully can improve clarity while still feeling just asquick.https://60fps.design/apps/milesOn BlinkIts iOS App when you remove a product from the cart, The item animates out from the floating widget and goes poof! Its a small detail, but someone clearly obsessed over it, turning a routine action into a delightful little surprise.https://60fps.design/shots/blinkit-add-remove-cart-animationOn Family App when you try swiping over the price chart you can see the trend arrow flips direction up or down along with the changing numbers.

If you had an Apple Watch between 2015 and February of last year, theres a chance the company might owe you a small payout. Thats thanks to a recent $20 million settlement on a class action lawsuit over swollen batteries.Apple has denied all wrongdoing, saying in a statement sent to Lifehacker sister publication CNET that we strongly disagree with the claims made against these early generation Apple Watch models. Still, rather than move forward with legal fees, the company is just choosing to pay a lump sum and get it over with instead. Given that the lawsuit, Smith et al. v. Apple Inc, lasted for over five years, thats understandable.Getting your piece of the settlement might not be so simple, however. In order to qualify, you need to have already taken action, having reported battery swelling on an Apple Watch first-generation, Series 1, Series 2, or Series 3 model to Apple between April 24, 2015 and Feb. 6, 2024. If that sounds like you, you do not need to submit a claim, but there are a few steps you can take to ensure payment.First, keep an eye out for an email or postcard notifying you of your eligibility for payment. This will have a notice ID or confirmation code, which youll then need to enter on the settlement website to update your payment information. Youll have until April 10 to send this information over, and if you feel like you should qualify but dont get a notice, you can also reach out to a toll free number or the settlement administrators address to get the ball rolling, per section 7 of the settlement sites FAQ.Alternatively, if youd rather opt out of the settlement, which will preserve your right to pursue your own legal action against Apple, you can do so through the same process. Once the dust has settled, class members can expect a payout of about $20 per affected watch, although specifics might vary depending on the number of people who update their payment information, capping out at $50 per affected watch.
