Ein sehr cooler Deckbuilder / Tableaubuilder in dem wir ein Cafè betreiben und unsere Gäste bestmöglich bedienen wollen.
Hab viel Liebe dafür weil so liebevoll gemacht. Nicht perfekt aber ein Projekt für das Crowdfounding eigentlich gedacht war. ☕️🍩
Danke dir vielmals fürs Spielen und Teilen unseres Spiels! 😍🙏

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.

09.02.2025 20:54 — 👍 2 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0We 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.

Big time agree and quoted to clarify. Thanks for sharing this take!
27.01.2025 23:55 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0We 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?
