getting hung up on the continuity of a nintendo franchise is like losing at chess to a dog, except there isn't a dog and there never was, there isn't a chessboard either, you're not even indoors, you're standing in the parking lot of a shuttered Kmart, a hollow wind blows

We are recruiting game makers affected by the 'NSFW' policy changes on Steam and itch.io for a survey. This survey is part of a broader project on the factors that shape the production, distribution, and consumption of porn games. More info about the project and survey at www.pppproject.com

INFINITY TRAIN was an incredible kid's show and should be held in the same esteem as something like OVER THE GARDEN WALL or ADVENTURE TIME.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:

- Game of the Year Thatโ€™s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year Thatโ€™s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

screenshot of a tumblr post from user โ€œwildmanstersโ€

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a  pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
