I keep thinking that the proponents of AI dislike learning
it feels so good when something not only clicks but becomes a natural flow - I have a fundamental disconnect from people who don’t value this experience

“An itinerant fishmonger living on a chain of subarctic forested islands controlled by the vestiges of fallen empire slipping into theocracy”
Limited metal ores near the surface, so… tools are: Bone? Stone? Glass? Ceramic?
Here is where I would happily run off for research!

Yes!
You can quickly build a character by answering some basic questions about the world they live in and then looking for real-world examples
And then extrapolate on what you’ve learned from the many peoples who have come before us

Full agreement, State Trooper made enough of an impression on me that I made a mini comicbook about it in my senior year at art school

Definitely agree about a midtoned background, thats a must for ipad as well as cinitiq or intuos
But my experience with the nasty plastic texture of my old 10.5” ipad pro screen and 1st gen pencil slipperyness fades as you use it, combo of grunge and natural abrasion (i think)

One thing that stands out in the responses i got was that genAI takes away the very thing that makes making a game so fun. It's fun and worthwhile to do BECAUSE it is hard, because the contraints force creative thinking, and that is in that tension point beauty is found.

My karate teachers referred to tiger balm in hushed tones in the 90s, when it was not as easy to buy. Now that I’m in my late 40s I need to remember to use when I sleep or sneeze wrong (instead of when I take a kick wrong)

In the interest of self-preservation I need to start reiterating: my current contract with KO_OP ends late Nov, and I'm looking for my next gig! I'm a game/narrative designer, writer, & generalist with lots of implementation experience in Unity, some in Unreal, knowledge of C#, Python, and more.
