Started this years ago, but gonna try to continue drawing monsters/body horror film stuff for the month.

If only there was a lesson to be learned here

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

My game Smushi Come Home has a lil 40% discount this week for the Steam Fall sale! 🍄🍂

One of the best party games ever made is on Switch now

help, i'm running out of space on my Do Not Work For This Company list

YES

the presence of cheats and accessibility options has only ever added to my enjoyment of literally any game i've played

lrt: I think as game designers we have a lot of anxiety that playing the game "wrong" will ruin it somehow but when I think back to me as a kid I found nothing but delight in playing games in obtuse ways or using cheat codes and that's an important part of the history of the medium too imo

oh god i used to have one of those, i think

It is the invincible meme based on the "look at what it takes to mimic our power" scene The top panel is "look at the cow" with a scene from Harvest Moon 64 The second panel says "moooo" with a close up of the cow Harvest moon 64 is a well-known and loved Nintendo 64 game much like Quest 64

If your placeholder assets aren't clearly placeholders, you'll forget to replace them

Back in ~1999, the art director for some dollhouse game made a temporary diamond-shaped model for their character UI. By the time he realized they hadn't replaced it, it was too late and it shipped as-is. Oops!

playing 1000XRESIST. visually stunning game. really enjoying it!

Any month now, I'm sure Nightreign will throw in something new that us casual dregs can participate in

The Wor[l]ds of Yoko Taro | Writing in video games A book exploring the writing process in games through a series of interviews we conducted with Yoko Taro, creator of the NieR series.

Latest Archipel book looks excellent.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Another fantastic behind-the-scenes animation breakdown from Kyle here!

I'd love to see animators from more studios given the green light to share their team's creative process like this

I despise how hard YouTube actively fucks over its users and creators at every turn.

Be sure to check your devices (Yes, plural DEVICE(S), because they’ve made it per device not just account), and make sure this setting is OFF!

It’s potentially hiding thousands of videos from you.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices,
If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text.
You get the idea.

If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.

There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.
