I don’t know how to explain to AI art advocates that making the thing yourself is what gives it meaning. I was art director on a game called The Pale Beyond. You play as captain of an Antarctic expedition, and try to keep everyone alive and happy enough that they don’t mutiny you. (spoilers 1/8)

Happy holidays from all of us at Saltstone Studios!! 🥂

What a year it’s been! We rebranded the studio, moved into a new office, started a creative games hub, announced a new game, and even released a physical edition of The Pale Beyond! 🍾

This has been a very tough year for the games industry, and we’re so incredibly grateful for the hard work and immense patience of our team, as well as the support of our friends, family and peers. Thank you for sticking with us, and thank you Fellow Traveller too for taking another chance on us!

Our little community has been growing too, thank you every one who’s played our game, who’s done fanart or left a nice review or comment. Yous are the best ❤️

Every artist, get more self indulgent NOW! Draw your ships kissing, draw your blorbos, draw that idea you’ve been putting off (you’re good enough to do it!!!), redraw that old art, draw yourself wearing a cool outfit, draw a better world- just draw!!!

Wee thread about our art team’s inspiration for how we changed the style for Hearth compared to Pale! ❤️

How did we design an art style for a sequel game set in the same universe as The Pale Beyond, but that has a totally different setting and tone? (Thread —>)
