Dodeca - The path of simultaneous least and greatest resistance

- Let's remember what this channel was made for.
One of the earliest inspirations for Dodeca was a video-game from 2014 that a friend of mine had recommended to me at the time.
It was a philosophical puzzle game that ended up becoming one of my favourite video-games: The Talos Principle.
I am mentioning this now because tomorrow the sequel is coming out.
(Don't read the following paragraph if you want no Dodeca spoilers at all, in case I write a book)
In Dodeca, Tritos (which means "Third" in Greek, to emphasize the third-person nature of the character) is essentially a robot that by some random chance wakes up in a future deserted world.
The beginning is quite traumatic for Tritos, for reasons I would not like to spoil here, but it pushes him to want to understand why things are the way they are.
Tritos knows he can't survive on his own but at the same time enjoys "playing God" without thinking too much about the consequences.
But, as the story unfolds, he is reminded not only of his own vulnerability but of the one of everything and everyone else too.
The more he learns about the past, the bigger the sense of responsibility. And yet, he can't decide if he really wants to try and wake up the rest of the robots.
Now, I am curious to see if The Talos Principle 2 explores that direction in its story too. I doubt it but...it's a possibility.
In the meantime, here is "369", a video with some shots from Dodeca, both old and new.
I also uploaded "377" on my Instagram account more than a month ago if you want to check that out too. It's the same kind of video but with a different soundtrack.

But what is the path of simultaneous least and greatest resistance then?
You can interpret it in many ways but one of the intentions was to make a metaphor that attempts to describe life and its duality.
Not only in an existential, philosophical sense, about the balance between ease and challenge, comfort and growth
but also in a more physical and biological sense, from abiogenesis to life as a system that in its effort to temporarily decrease its own entropy contributes to the increase in entropy of the broader environment.
Speaking of favourite video-games I have never mentioned, in 2020 I played Outer Wilds. It's something special. I recommend it.
Thank you for stopping by.

:O ooooow DODECA
speechless as always, everything here is breathtaking
I don't think I have the brains to quite grasp this video, but as always, it is absolutely gorgeous. The animation, the details, the shots, the lighting, the visual effects, the music, the shots changed more rapidly as the music gets more intense...
Your work is truly a sight to behold 🙏❤
Just yesterday I had a bit of a binge on trying to find someone else who has played talos principle and feels this way about it and now you come out of hiding and put out this. Love it
I really want to be part 3 of these 2 cars film...
By the time the video ended my eyes were full of tears, I could barely see. This is beautiful and I can only admire your work.
Incredible detail in every little thing, quality of workmanship, showing the environment... everything is perfected. Really beautiful, I can't tell you how much I love it all.
I hope you do better. Have a great day and keep up the good work in everything you do! :)
