It also glosses over that those intermediate stages are crucial to the end product. By having an AI do that work you're outsourcing your creative vision to a Frankenstein's monster made of the stolen ideas of other artists, and by the same token feeding the monster with your own ideas.

I'm so happy with how this is coming together now, the laser feels fantastic. It still needs more juice but I'd say this is about 50x as effective as the previous iteration, what do you think?

Slow progress as Ive been in a bit of a slump but my little guy can shoot now. I hoped I could get away with not showing projectiles bc of the performance cost but I dont think this sells the effect. Anybody got any ideas for ways I can add juice without more sprites?

Accessibility question for PC games - What I'm working on right now will have the mouse as the only means of interacting with the game (nothing very precise). Are there accessibility concerns with that? If so, what alternatives can I consider?

Wow is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 good. Definitely not something I'd usually go for but I'm so glad I did - absolutely incredible atmosphere, voice work, animation, VFX, music and narrative plus it plays like butter. What a debut.

Tried my hand at some pixelart for a virtual pet game I'm working on. What do you think? The game is called "Forbidden Friend" and has you nurturing an eldritch god and its cult. This is one of the cultists

Such a good response to the hate this game is getting. I'd probably go even further to say, even if Yasuke wasn't a historical figure...who cares? It's a story. Nobody whines that star wars has spaceships and aliens. The whole point of a story is to do something interesting

I just beat Banishers: Ghosts Of New Eden - such a cool experience. A real shame it didn't perform as well as it deserves. If you like the sound of Witcher-esque ghost hunting in 17th century New England then do yourself a favour and pick it up.

There is nothing worse than the anticipation of a package arriving 'today'. I can't even do anything with the thing that's coming (collectibles) but does that let me think about anything else? No. I might as well write the whole day off (only half joking)

Finished reading 'Doom Guy' a couple of days ago, real interesting stuff if you like video game history. Romero was involved in way more projects than I'd have guessed and seems like a really pleasant dude. Ended up getting carried away and buying the SIGIL beast box as a little treat...
