Hi, everyone 👋

Life has been pretty tough lately and it’s been difficult to post or be present.

Production on Flowerbud is going to be slowed as I take on work to help out my spouse, while making sure I keep my health issues under control.

Just a heads up.
Take care of yourselves! <3

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!

are you also as sick of seeing AI generated posters/flyers/etc in public as I am? I made some Big stickers about it and will be selling packs of them at future shows 🫶

Visiting my parents ( my birthday is on Saturday ) and talking about video games.

He reminded me of this gem, which he often said during this time of the year:

“You want another Final Fantasy game? This is the last one, right?” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Adding this to my wishlist! So cool.
If everyone shares this post, how long will it take to reach 7,000 wishlists?

Rebecca Heineman passed today.

She was a unique talent, to understate things. Anyone could see that in her long list of accomplishments.

But we are not just our catalogs of retail products. She was a force of nature, a light in the darkness.

This is an unimaginable sadness.

I can make you placeholders.

Or you know, permanent art for your game and / or game jam!

My spouse is a Home Assistant wizard and has gamified chores:

Once a chore has been completed, we tap our phones to a specific NFC

For example, this one is for the kitchen trash.

In the HA app, you can clearly see status (clean, dirty) who last completed the chore and when!

YES, this right here!

Every visual in Flowerbud right now is a placeholder.

I have black boxes, silly art, silhouettes of folks, etc.

Honestly, no excuse for “oops we left AI art in teehee”
The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.
