Your reference and research is where your art starts and it deserves your bloody damn respect! It’s not a small part of your work it’s the start, the bloody foundation you’re building on and you don’t build on genAI mushy shit.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Artist friends, has any of you switched to a standing desk and would you recommend it?

Layoffs wreck studios. Institutional knowledge is SO valuable in the games industry. When you eventually replace that laid off employee, I don’t care if they’ve got 30 years of experience and dozens of games under their belt. They still have to learn the pipeline, the software, the systems.

Well said!!

“Please send us emails instead” means “we can put key words from your script on our corporate spam filter and ignore you, but calls shut down our entire contact infrastructure” Keep fucking calling.

Folks being like "I'm complaining/protesting/boycotting itch" like, why would you spend energy punching sideways? Itch -knows- it's bad, they're on our side and forced into this position. That same energy could have been put to good use by pointing it at the actual problem: the payment processors.

We're extending the sale! #GritandValor will continue to be 25% OFF on Steam until 20th July. Why not use this extra time to try the demo first? You can then grab the game at a discount to start your campaign in full force! 💪 👉 bit.ly/GritandValor_Steam
