Having talked with many colleagues in 2025. What came up often was the general fatigue of the abstract style, particle blobs, hand tracking B$, we've seen before so many times. It used to be cool, but since interactive art is changing and moves so quickly, now it's so basic AF.
Recently what we found more intriguing was using characters. We believe the next evolution of interactive art is away from abstract and humanizing, grounding via characters. Here's an introduction course to using characters in Unreal Engine as interactable elements.
