Happy 24th Anniversary to ANACHRONOX, a fun, funny, heart-breaking, hard sci-fi, ridiculous, epic, satirical RPG that we made with love! See ya at Rowdy's.

New art for two bundles.
🔥 The LIZARD BUNDLES 🔥
It's always strange to revisit previous work, but they all vibe quite well together.

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

Today's Fanart: Chrono Trigger!
This one has way more of a miniature feel to it! Which is a style I've been wanting to explore for a while! I should probably do more prints with this kinda feeling to it!

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard
But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all
(game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw)

That's what really gets me about these conversations, people who treat no as a challenge to be overcome, who try to wear people down, telling us it's inevitable, get used to it. There's an arrogance to the genAI proponent that I find truly detestable, it reminds me of those NFT bros stealing art...

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.
