Same sentiment but for "promotional artwork".
Again, you made a whole-ass video game. That's an incredible amount of work, but I see what's clearly gen AI promo art or screens and I'm out.
Creative folks, don't underestimate how much using AI "tools" makes your *actual work* look suspect. 💖

A selfie of a middle aged chubby white woman with short wavy blonde hair. She is wearing cute glasses. Also a red shirt, which could mean nothing.
Not at GDC but #WhatAGameDevLooksLike
I've been a technical animator for almost 25 years. I've worked at Turbine Games, Blizzard, BioWare and now Motive. I've done everything from rigging to coding to bloody dismemberment effects. Also, hair. My new glasses are cute!

This is peak #WhatAGameDevLooksLike for me!
(I'm just missing my fanny pack full of snacks)
I'm not at GDC this year, but I've been focusing on more local events like Toronto Games Week while I work as Creative Director at @kittencupstudio.bsky.social and Art Director at @mightyyell.bsky.social. ✨

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

This year’s #WhatAGameDevLooksLike feels like an explosion of joy amidst everything we’ve been going through.
Fuck the capitalists and fascists that have been attempting to ruin games (and… everything else); you’re all amazing and we all deserve better.

Doing #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! I'm not at GDC this year, but here's me speaking on a panel at PAX last Fall. Been in production in games/tech for almost 20 years now, including Blizzard, Microsoft, WotC, Bungie, and Epic. There's about an 80% chance I'm thinking of my cat or food at any given time.

If you're applying to be part of an AP, you NEED to watch this video. @in-the-pan.bsky.social & @michellicopter.bsky.social chatted for an hour (that turned into two) and broke down everything you need to be the professional your next table needs.
Catch the VOD on YouTube now!
