Dabbler in photography, writing, and making games. I like most things at least a little bit. Someday I'd like to know what it's like to be a bat.

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears.
Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!
We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

F-ZERO GX is one of the greatest games because it has 40 playable characters that aside from around 5 or 6 of them nobody has ever really thought that much about, and gives all of them voice acted interviews and their own theme song and short film. this game Loves guys like "Octo Man" and "Billy"

I really wanted to go "hey wait can I commission some for the apps I want too?" but she literally says how fun it is to make art for herself so I think I need to just make some for myself too
last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Sometimes I think the myth of creative genius exists to discourage people from the reality that it's actually very easy to uniquely engage with the world, or uniquely make art, if you just try a little bit to be curious about things

If you like what I make, simply sharing it around helps greatly.
I don't have a dedicated budget for the game, I'm making it in my free time, this game could be my stepping stone for future projects.
