My favorite "video game movie" is a movie that's built on core video game logic and style: Hundreds of Beavers! #GJAsks

It even mimics Metal Gear Solid's stealth mechanic! I think it could be turned into a great stealth or asymmetric multiplayer game.


The plot is basically the standard MMO quest loop of "Kill X creatures and bring me their pelts to get a better weapon." Our hero Jean Kayak has to kill beavers, get their pelts, and bring them back to the merchant in exchange for better and better weapons. He gears up over the course of the film and goes from struggling to kill a single beaver to taking out multiple a time.

What's most impressive is that in addition to being an odd love letter to the structure of video games, it ties it all together with the comedy of Looney Tunes and 1920s silent films.

For my #ArcaneGX art, I drew Heimerdinger! I love his design and how it contrasts with the more grounded looks of Jinx, Vi, etc.

I'm not sure if it's the single funniest, but an indie comedy game that I had fun with was Space Court! #GJAsks
