vholume's environment design is kind of incredible.

What a sweet Xmas gift from a kind internet stranger!

Yeah they're too scared smdh 🙄

Omg how cool that you're doing this games advent, thanks so much for featuring ours 😍 I just checked the other games you've been recommending this month and holy crap are they interesting! Feels like we might be sharing a taste in games 😄 My poor wishlist haha..

Misgiven Demo on Steam Misgiven is an emotional sci-fi adventure about the lump in your throat. Stranded in a city veiled in toxic fog, take on a stranger's mask to survive. Wrestle with your thoughts in a tangible dialogue...

To give an example of a strong premise, I recently played Misgiven, in it you steal an oxygen mask to survive a crash but that oxygen mask comes with an identity that you must maintain or throw off. Its immediate, understandable and creates so much interest store.steampowered.com/app/2997040/...

Aw 🥲♥️

I'd say it's quite a lot more relatable for a character's premise to be from a place of vulnerability and danger - where they have to follow their intrinsic "orders" and undeniable self-truths that crop up as they try to be what others demand them to. The "power fantasy" there is to simply be seen.

@jumpovertheage.com still grappling with the the fact that we finally get to cross paths digitally, big lovers of the Citizen Sleeper world as we are, let alone that you spent time with and shared these thoughts about Misgiven. Thank you.

You have no idea how grateful I am that you brought this thread to our attention, good god 🥲

Swen Vincke @LarAtLarian Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/ We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.
