I've been playing around with the new Affinity Studio since it was released. TLDR; It's good. Very good. How long will it stay that way? It's still too early to tell.
Some background, my first impressions, and my wishlist are all here: www.explorersdesign.com/affinity-imp...

Welcome to Hellstruck, formerly Awestruck, until that damn rock was discovered. This is the wild weird west where anything can happen. So get yourself a posse to stake your claim or hunker down until the dust settles.

My friend Eli just finished their game Sword Opera: a breathtakingly good take on the Forged in the Dark formula. It's got duels, a fantastical setting that reminds me of the Green Bone Saga mixed with Shakespearian magic, and lots of potential for melodrama.

My hill: kids are naturally creative and artistic. You give kids paper and something to draw with and you will get the wildest shit ever created. It's an actual tragedy & horrifically anti-human to be shoving AI on them and encouraging them to stunt that essential part of themselves.
Consumer-facing "A.i." in education is evil and if you push it on kids to make "art" you're hurting them.
I'm so so so furious at the future creativity and artistry that AI is taking away from all of us by convincing kids nothing is worth doing on their own
