A small game studio run by a husband @fleckenstein.substack.com and wife @holylouna.bsky.social team and powered by AI.
I’ve spent the past few days creating horses for the game
They, are very important to our artistic vision, and I want them to look exactly as I imagine
Our database for training combines multiple techniques from hand drawing to synthetic data
My Stable Diffusion results: before and after

Every day we're confronted with an absurd reality: no artist, no filmmaker, no game developer does what we do, yet they all yell that we’ve stolen something from them.

Using a custom LoRA trained on sythentic images of aged painted wood, I was able to make the background closer to my vision. But I still find myself struggling to capture exactly what I want to express. More data prep and fine-tuning is needed.

The world is changing, and gamedev is evolving with it.
Soon, creating the game of your dreams won’t require a studio; just vision, creativity, and the right tools.
The future of gaming is in the hands of the creators themselves

Stealing images from medieval artists to train generative models for our game.
I hope they’re rolling in their graves right now out of sheer rage.

Developing our game's art style piece by piece. Training a LoRA on aged wood textures (via Gemini) to enhance backgrounds in Illustrious/SD. Each LoRA is another tool in the kit — building toward a fully custom model trained on our own assets.

Our characters are powered by AI; not scripted, but alive.
They remember, react, and evolve with you. You can fight beside them, argue, fall in love, or turn them into your enemies.
Your choices shape who they become, and who you’ll be to them.

We are creating a world where love is fragile and real. Characters remember, forgive, or turn away. Each word, each silence leaves a mark. Relationships are not a feature: they are the world itself.

We tried to build perfect human souls.
Instead, we made something that has what we never did.
What is a soul, anyway?

In our lab, work continues to develop the perfect style for the game. And we are already very close. This is a vibrant comic style with flat colors for the background and an illustrative 2.5d with a slight shade of retro anime for characters
