the economy is in your hands

yeah. a damn hummable ditty

how many times can i typo this post
who's keeping count

thinking about that time i accidentally left the ratatoullie theme song 'le festin' looping for 2 hours while working, but didn't consciously register it until after i closed the window, and felt its absence more deeply than i ever noticed its presence

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

take notes!

level design book update: little cleanup of the tools page (book.leveldesignbook.com/appendix/tools) and trenchbroom page (book.leveldesignbook.com/appendix/too...)

COOL

This rules! How're you handling the cloth, and building the levels?

(also this will release outside of patreon soon)

(coke episode is next)

a during-hiatus final v3 episode? some are saying it's true

show me what you're making NOW (again)

just did! thank you for the recommendation, i'm gonna poke around!

wow
that's new

when i say i have ideas, i mean i have uninformed stupid "let's see if this works" ideas

so context for how normal people handle this would help a ton

also- if there's any good reading about implementing dynamic, good-feeling brushes like CSP or Photoshop (potentially factoring in pen pressure, and stroke curves or velocity), I'm always down to collect reference material

i have ideas about how to handle this already, but i'm super curious

hey artist people, what're your favorite public domain (redistributable) brush textures

i'm working on a doodle tool for a thing

you're sure we're cooked?
how much you wanna bet?

or i just have an extremely untrained eye to see it still
which is more likely LOL

oh yeah, that i got - i'm just inexperienced with using decals for edge trims and this is assembled super cleanly

this looks so cool
i'm so curious what the sources for the decals look like

it is also stupid to imagine that consumers will not change how they value your products when you replace their substance with surplus, easily-available AI slop

your whole market advantage is scale, and you're actively working to decimate that

your catalog of legacy IP will not save you

"ah, but a computer can generate thousands of pictures in the time it takes you to draw one"
ok but i want to draw a picture, and see a picture my friend drew
existential crisis resolved

humans intrinsically value doing shit. no matter how far back you go. even gilgamesh was fundamentally about some guy doing some shit
nobody stopped playing chess when computers got better at that, because it really doesn't matter that much if you value being an active participant in your own life.

there is so much incredible unity tooling that's stuck stagnating because it doesn't have the resources it needs to kick off

it kills me dead

if people didn't value art and the process of creating it, nobody would bother lying about it

keep going
there are better futures than this ahead

the endpoint of this is artists surfacing their process and craft more heavily than ever before, and people supporting artists for those reasons

if i wanted to know what grok thought a renaissance painting looked like, i would just ask it to generate one for me
