Expecting overnight success is irrational. Live games typically need a long period of iteration in contact with real-life players to land somewhere successful. Typically, what the audience ends up interested in is slightly "off" from what was originally envisioned!

I don't think live games are the problem, honestly. I think the problem is investor and managerial insanity, where the people making those high-level decisions don't understand the business they're in and keep changing their mind about the risk profile of their business plan

If the stream reaches its donation goal, I'm going to make some cool Hamir (our pangolin character in Dungeons of Aether) art for y'all.

Impressionism in general, but the one below by FrΓ©dΓ©ric Bazille comes to mind a lot; Moby Francke; as a more recent one Dominik Mayer; and ofc the late and great Syd Mead

Show off your art style

Snoutbreakers is all hand-animated! No shading & flat colors is fast to animate, but I've had to take extra care designing the fighters so they're easily readable at any point of animation. Contrasting arm & body colors, emphasizing hands /w features, etc

The thing is though, of course, when you *play* a game you don't see the process. As a professional I sometime "smell" certain things about a game – "oh this smells like some big system got cut", etc – but you can never be sure. Of course public backlash is aimed at visible things.
