The one dynamic that games have been most interested in exploring is that between parent and child The Walking Dead, Bioshock Infinite, even Pikmin, all are parenting games to an extent. You can learn more about the show adaptation with our previous coverage here.A lthough there's a slowly gathering flock of interesting individual characters in video games, there is still a dearth of interesting relationships. He also opened up more on the creative process, the team dynamic over at Naughty Dog, and a little more on the upcoming The Last of Us TV series that is coming to HBO. That level of craftsmanship can't be forced nor rushed, so the level of commitment to continue this journey needs to be set in stone before any sort of development continues further.Īlso in the most recent episode of Script Apart, Druckmann delved deeper into the development issues that occurred in the second game and the state of the original draft. The sequel was emotionally exhausting and brutal in a way that many seemed to feel was almost too much, though part of the puzzle made up a much bigger picture in the end. The Last of Us games are painstakingly nuanced, with heavy themes and even heavier narratives. With two games, now there’s starting to be a pattern – now I feel like there are some structural and thematic themes you'd have to stick to if you're making a third game." With one game, there’s no pattern of what a franchise is. He continued, saying, "We’ve now had two games that I feel speak to something universal as well as telling a very personal story for these characters. Druckmann added that he had been thinking about The Last of Us Part II for seven years before its release, adding, "You want to make sure you're jazzed by the idea you have, that it feels challenging." Making a game to the scale of The Last of Us with its vast areas to explore and incredibly detailed visuals is challenging and takes a significant amount of time. and I did write an outline for a story that we're not making - but I hope one day can see the light of day - that explores a little bit about what happens after this game." Being very much up in in the air, he added, "We'll see."Īfter the success of The Last of Us Part II, it's easy to see why the team would be interested in exploring this world even further. Naughty Dog creative director Neil Druckmann confirmed in a recent podcast episode for Script Apart that an outline for The Last of Us 3 exists thanks to combined efforts with Gross, but he was also very clear in stating that it is very much still just an outline at this stage. Because of that, it should be of no surprise that Neil Druckmann has confirmed that an outline for The Last of Us 3 has been written with himself and Halley Gross at the helm. ![]() While the release of The Last of Us Part II was more divisive, that hasn't stopped the sequel from winning an impressive amount of awards for its storytelling and design. When it was remastered for PlayStation 4, even more people fell in love with the tale of Joel and Ellie. When the first Last of Us game came out, it was an instant hit for the PlayStation 3 generation. ![]()

After the Middle Ages, the open hand was more common for the sign of the cross, but the art continued to picture Christ's blessing with the thumb and two fingers raised In the 9th century Leo IV required priests to bless the chalice and host during Mass with their fingers held this way, "by which the Trinity is symbolized." By the 11th century it became the configuration that western Christians used when making the sign of the cross on themselves. This is seen as early as the 6th century in In the West a tradition gradually developed of picturing the blessing hand with the fourth and pinky fingers curved down and the thumb and other fingers pointed up, as in the third picture at right. 3 Whatever the origin, Orthodox believers see it as a way of forming the letters IC XC, the monogram of Jesus Christ, 4 and in the East it is the traditional way of picturing the fingers in Christ's blessing. A number of sites on the web say this began as an oratorical gesture, but I have not found it in any statues of Roman orators, nor is it mentioned in Quintilian's extensive survey of hand gestures. In the sarcophagus fragment mentioned above, the fingers also seem to be arranged this way. Catherine's icon, as in several of the images cited above, Christ blesses the viewer with the thumb of the right hand touching the fourth finger (the one next to the pinky). ![]() In Russia a version with a full-height Christ was adopted by iconographers in the 12th and 13th centuries for use on the iconostasis The Christ Pantocrator became a common feature of Eastern apse mosaics Catherine's Pantocrator (second picture at right), but it may have been based on earlier works that disappeared during the Iconoclast ascendancy ( Chatzidakis, 202-204). 1 The earliest extant example is the 6th-century St. Portrayed half-height, Christ looks directly at the viewers and blesses them with his right hand. Two-dimensional Christ Enthroned images invariably put a crossed halo behind the figure's head, but in sculptural work a crown is used insteadĮastern churches developed a similar iconographic type known as Christ Pantocrator.

The complete package for Mac is located here: If you are looking to get up and running quickly, I highly recommend it. It’s a pretty nifty editor – it has good support for common LaTeX templates, it allows you to click back and forth between the rendered PDF and the position in your document to edit, and it’s very clean and simple to use.

LaTeX extensively uses templates to format your document so that you get a document that looks great no matter what you put into it. LaTeX works differently because you specify the behaviour and the appearance of the document in addition to the text. You add a paragraph and boom, suddenly your pictures are all off of the edge of your screen! Anyone who’s worked with Word for any amount of time though has encountered issues with formatting, especially when moving things around. You drag a figure into the right spot, you drag the margin to the right width, or you drag the paragraph into the correct location. That is, if you want to adjust something, you usually have to do it manually. The differences between the two, however, are in the way that you format the document. In this respect, it’s quite similar to Microsoft Word. It allows you to type stuff and then formats it all together for you into a nice pretty document, usually in PDF. First of all, what is LaTeX?
