RE that RT.. itโ€™s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

Really is. Tachikawa/Hachioji are a station away if you crave more city, and if you want more mountains, you got takao like *right* there. It's honestly been great.

Pretty sure this goes without saying, but

Rune Fencer Illyia does not and will NEVER contain anything with genAI.

using genAI for concept art is still using genAI, and the chances of its usage permanently stopping at that exact point in a large company's workflow is pretty much 0%.

never be be so foolish as to believe that your favorite big blorbo company is infallible or incapable of evil

It's got a big list of good games in it, maybe you should read it.

asset reuse is a dying art

once I created an elaborate wooden bridge in a game with a top-down camera.
my boss was like this looks great - but where'd you get the wood planks?
I moved the cam underneath the bridge, revealing each plank to be a stretched out trophy case from the achievements menu
