Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

Abe's goofy grin, the design of the Abe's Oddysee subtitle, Abe's general design... sometimes less is more, and Oddworld's classic cover is a great example

More Under Cut

Pop is a mix between reality and fiction where he resembles me and is my face for the internet, but has some fantasy aspects tacked on.

He is a chaotic creature born in the space in-between multiverses

He has the ability to create universes to tack onto others or create a whole new multiverse

Populous (1989) by Peter Molyneux / Bullfrog

Commodore Amiga

Populous is a video game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts, released originally for the Amiga in 1989, and is regarded by many as the first god game.

The player takes on the role of a deity and must lead his people to victory against rival deities and their followers. The game, presented from an isometric perspective, contains over 500 levels, each representing a distinct land area inhabited by both the player and the enemy's followers.

Before development began, Peter Molyneux and Bullfrog used Lego to prototype the game.

Glittering Design for Saudi Arabia’s New Stadium and Potential World Cup Venue

After revealing their designs for a stadium in Qiddiya City earlier this year, architecture firm Populous has released images for another FIFA-compliant stadium in Saudi Arabia. Aracmo Stadium is a new 47,000-seat venue that is scheduled to host games in the upcoming 2027 AFC Asian Cup and will be fully compliant with FIFA’s stadium requirements.

Located in Al Khobar, it's inspired by the city's position on the shores of the Arabian Gulf. This has translated into a façade of translucent overlapping sails forming a spiral motif. This form, reminiscent of flowing waves, allows light to penetrate the inside of the stadium via strategically placed openings. The renderings show how these openings give the stadium a glittering appearance, just hinting at the events occurring inside.
