This week we cover two shorts, a love letter to Star Citizen and and an everyman’s fair-ytale of the life of a princess. First up, @neisannnn‘s ‘What a Wonderful World’, a love letter to Star Citizen, where we focus on its surreal nature, use of backwards music, and ability to capture the game’s vast universe. Our second film is ‘Plumbob Princess’ by @lReMi07l – one of the all time best machinimas we’ve seen in Sims 4. We discuss the visual quality and storytelling of machinima videos for The Sims 4 and Star Citizen, highlighting the creative use of animation, music, and language. Check out the films, info below.

This reminded me why I dislike certain elements of many space games – the ships all look like conventional fighter planes or x-wings or lumpy behemoths, nothing beautiful or sleek. And everyone wants to kill you in a battle with hundreds of other ships in a massive explosion-fest. But nice juxtaposition of soundtrack and footage.
