Concept artists are the ones who convince a team of starving, burned-out engineers and designers that the gray, boring, broken pile of temp assets and debug code will one day be a gorgeous game they can be proud of.
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.

Howdy y’all! Just a quick announcement for the next chapter of Windstorm. Since the end of the year is approaching, I’m gonna try to relax a bit and enjoy myself, so there may not be a chapter posted in January, but there definitely will be in February. Thanks for your time! Stay awesome!

With the latest episode is Windstorm released, here’s some art of May Jones, Sullivan’s younger sister who was mechanically augmented and turned into a cybernetic assassin. She uses her augments along with her psychic powers to crush all who stand in her way.

Sorry for the long wait, but Episode 24 goes live Saturday, Oct 4th at 5 PM EST! Starting with this episode, I’m going to try and stick to a monthly release schedule instead of the biweekly I tried before. Monthly is just much more realistic for me to achieve without burning myself out.

Been noticing way more people on here posting clips from fighting games now, and they don't look too bad anymore. Still a little compressed but nothing compared to a year ago.
Good, really want a more active FGC on here and not being able to upload footage was a big hindrance to that.

Basic nerd answer? Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy. They really are that good. Something a little less well known? Chasing Sunlight by Inadvisably Compelled on Royal Road. It’s a really fun pseudo fantasy type story with plenty of steam punk elements, and a wonderful world to explore.
