In case you missed it in the run up to SPIEL, we shared an October Studio Update last month over on BGG. It covered the launch of our new webstore, updates on our upcoming games, and a heads up that we’ll be at Spellenspektakel this weekend.

Absolutely fantastic art! 😍 We don't have an immediate project but we've made note of your contact info for when we do if it would be something that fits your style.

👀

We're so happy you liked the game! 😀🙏✨

We'd be curious to know if any pubs out there aren't using the Adobe Cloud suite and if so how has the interaction with factories been using other, potentially free layout software?

We use GDocs for the text side, then when ready crack open InDesign for layout. But we always keep a raw GDoc version updated so we don't have to pull the text back out later.

Very interesting to see! Any idea who made it?

Our hierarchy of life is something like:

Red Pandas > Humans > Robots

😅

Big time agree and quoted to clarify. Thanks for sharing this take!

We are a small publisher / two people and we would never take the stance that gen AI tools would help us. We second this notion that if you are trying to pay artists, you'll find a way, if what you're making has an audience. People want human-made art!

Congrats on the launch of Moonlight! The game looks amazing mechanically. I sincerely hope in the future you'll reconsider using generative AI. I understand you're an independent operator and art costs seem like a frustrating expense. But regardless of the post AI human touch and the check that it doesn't outright copy existing art, both the sourcing the AI system uses and the environmental impact of those systems are really awful. I know you know this and don't want to hear from a stranger (though I am a backer of previous work) but I would love to be able to support your work in the future. All the best.

As an avid supporter of print-and-play roll-and-write #BoardGames, I'm dismayed by the increase of "AI art" used by the designers.

This is what I sent to a designer today. So bummed, the game looks good. But there are lots of good games coming out and I'll toss my $ at those not using AI "art".

Haha, you've felt the earth shifting too?

We're not sure what the post was (though we can guess), but we're sending you good vibes from Berlin for anything you are going through. 🤗

Sounds like a new wave of folks are giving Bsky a try. Welcome!

For #BoardGame fans I have two "Starter Packs" to help you find accounts... you can do a fast "follow all" or just scroll the pack and select accounts.

Woohoo! We always love hearing that #SeizeTheBean makes someone happy.🤗☕

Party safe, and happy new year. Here's to wrapping up a wonderful 2024 and starting off an exciting 2025!

💬What games are you playing for the holidays? Share with us in the comments! 3/3

Look for a blog post from us in Q1, where we'll share what's coming from Quality Beast. But for anyone out there wondering: we're still here, just a bit more quiet than usual due to our focus on the games we've been working on. Some reveals to come... 2/3

Happy holidays to everyone in our community! We are very thankful for all the support and encouragement over the years. The last 2 have been especially transformative for us, and we're excited to share some news with everyone in the new year. 1/3

Thank you, and we're happy to be here!

If you're new to the platform (like us) this starter pack made by @425suzanne.bsky.social is an awesome resource!

This is awesome. Thank you for doing this! 🙇

If there's room, we'd love to be added as well. 🤗

We sold out #PhilosopyBoardGame and #Kruidgewas (our Dutch version of #PencilFirstGame's lovely #Herbaceous) at #Spellenspektakel! No surprise there, as both games are delightful - though we're a bit biased of course. 😉

If you were at Spellenspektakel, let us know what you took home with you!

We're gonna be at #Spellenspektakel this weekend showing off #TowersOfTheSun, selling limited copies of #SeizeTheBean and Philosophy, and offering our usual range of Dutch games. Come by booth 1106A to visit us if you're in Utrecht!

If you're still hunting a copy of #SeizeTheBean you may be in luck: we'll have limited stock of the English base game and add-ons at #Spellenspektakel in Utrecht this weekend. Come visit us at booth 1106A if you're around the Netherlands!
