finally got around to playing the demo of this today after spotting it at Vancouver Game Garden and damn, stunned I haven't heard about this previously. "gorgeous story-action-scifi powerwash simulator" seems like the kind of thing everyone should be screaming about.

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.

But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.

This is Ambrosia Sky.

"it's either going to be AI generated or bad" is a really weird message to put out as a new studio but it's bold, I'll give them that

so, uh, I guess the studio responded to this by replacing their website art!

(not gonna lie, I'm torn between "lol, lmao" and "hm, that's a bit of an immature response from a professional game studio")

A screenshot of the Sackbird website that shows their social media icons replaced with intentionally bad MS Paint-style art

A screenshot of the Sackbird website which used to have an AI-generated skyline of Baltimore, and now has an intentionally shitty bunch of brown boxes labelled as "Fort McHenry" and "Sackbird Studios" in Comic Sans. It has clearly been drawn in MS Paint in about 5 minutes

hello! at this point, if you ordered a signed copy of Armour Astir, you should either have your book or you should have tracking info for the delivery. if you don't have either of those it's because you still haven't gotten in touch with shipping information! otherwise, we're all good.
