KO_OP's studio director Saleem Dabbous recently shared his presentation about game making cooperatives for the Game Developers Conference (GDC).
Here's my GDC presentation on how @KOOPMode is structured and operated as a ~20 person cooperative! Please let me know if you have any thoughts or questions [x]
if you check this out and think "wow that seems insanely risky fuck that" let me introduce you to every company ever. nothing about the coop structure is more risky than a normal company but a lot of it is more equitable. [x]
coops don't inherently solve any of the risk or privilege required to survive in capitalism. They are another tool to empower workers to own their labour and be more directly in control of their work and to share in the profits of that✌️ [x]

Miyazaki's Retirement Declarations (chronologically)
Translated from last week's NHK documentary on the production of The Boy and The Heron (more under cut). I saw people posting a screencap of this and I just couldn't contain myself. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WAY LONGER THAN I IMAGINED LMFAO
This is from the NHK programme "Professional - Their Working Philosophy" (プロフェッショナル 仕事の流儀) a few days ago (16/12/2023). The episode investigates the production process of The Boy and the Huron, and how the late Takahata Isao influenced the movie.
(It was confirmed within the documentary that Mahito = Miyazaki, Great Uncle = Takahata Isao, The Heron = Suzuki Toshio, Kiriko = Yasuda Michiyo)
The documentary is currently available on the NHK Streaming Service (Location Limited). If you have your own ways of watching and you know Japanese, I would definitely recommend the episode as it gives a lot of much-needed context to The Boy and The Heron. Personally, I haven't found a way to watch it yet, so all I know about the documentary are hearsay I saw on Japanese twitter.
Original screencap:
Also, at the very end of the episode, Miyazaki was shown working on a Naucicaa piece without any explanation, which led to many people speculating whether he could be working on a sequel for Naucicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
What do yall think? Do you think he's going to finally retire or release yet another animated film in a few years? I would love to see Naucicaa 2 but I also feel like he really needs to... yknow, chillax a bit and stuff. He deserves a long ass vacation.

AU Concept Arts.
Moon’s region is featured with the signature blood-red ocean(mostly resulted from iron mine contamination…or is it?), and pale building structures.
Grey Wind’s region is windy and misty all-year-long. The grass appear an eerie shade of pink at night.
NSH’s region is very industrialized and polluted. Valleys and cliff formed from erosion.
