To put your concerns to bed we're not using AI on the project and the main artist on the project is Jacqui Davis (Red Rising and Everdell Farshore).

Working with Jacqui has been excellent and I can't wait to show off more of her amazing art

I would say a lot of my favourite artists of the last 10 years have had releases on Kscope. Some of favourites include: Amplifier, The Pineapple Thief, Lunatic Soul, Porcupine Tree (and Steven Wilson's solo stuff), and Anathema.

100% agree. Always great to see someone pouring themselves into making something niche and finding success. Can't wait for the last part

Not sure Dwarf Fortress is for me but tempted to give it a go based on this!

Being addicted to a video game finally paid off. I'm excited to announce that the Helldivers board game from Steamforged Games is a design that I worked on with Derek Funkhouser and the SFG team over the past year. For Super Earth!

Played my second ever Road to Nationals for #fabtcg yesterday. 40 person event and made top 4 on Victor, bagging my UK nationals invite.

Need to dodge Wizard or stop playing decks that just die to Wizard.

One of the most iconic voice actors, thoughts with his family.

Darkest Dungeon @darkestdungeon.bsky.social · Jan 30

"Go with grace into the great beyond..."

We at Red Hook are heartbroken to confirm the passing of our beloved voice actor, Wayne June.

An image of the faces of The Ancestor from Darkest Dungeon, and The Academic from Darkest Dungeon II. A torch glows between their two faces. The images reads: "Ancestor, Academic, Artist & friend. Wayne June. Twelve years ago, Tyler and I reached out to Wayne, humbly asking him to narrate our indie game’s trailer. Since those magical moments when we first paired his reading with the footage, it has been an incredible and fulfilling collaboration. Wayne’s singular baritone and masterful cadence elevated everything he read. He was a consummate professional, and his love of his craft was an inspiration. His inimitable work is woven into the very fabric of our industry in a way that cannot be forgotten.

It is one of my life’s greatest honors to have written for him this past decade. Though I never got to shake his hand, I knew him to be a friend.

Thank you, Wayne.

-Chris Bourassa, for Tyler Sigman and the Red Hook team"

I believe I first heard it referenced was from Rob Daviau as part of the inspiration for Risk Legacy. I don't recall him referencing the study name sadly. Granted this was a long time ago so I might be misremembering
