Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Not to brag, but I know some of the awesome people making this game, and from knowing them, I can tell you it's got a lot of love going into it! You should definitely give them a follow so you can keep up to date on their game, Sinweaver!
Our game is so close to 200 wishlists on Steam! We're just starting out on Bluesky so all support is appreciated🙏 We're trying to make a metroidvania that's a bit different, if this interests you drop a follow or wishlist!

Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/3559990/...

Hey guys!!
It's been a while - my son turns 6 months on Sunday!
I just wanted to post a quick update to say I'm still here, I'm loving life and looking forward to making more art and streaming again.
I'll try post the odd update where I can and give you a time for my debut return lol
