Our stance on AI-Generated Art.
As a game about drawing, this is an important topic for us.
We will always be advocates for artists - in-game and out-of-game.
We do not work with agencies advertising NFT/Blockchain/AI Gen services, and will never add such features to D&G.

Image showing the damage acureus sees caused by AI-generated art. The main aspects are that images are based on stolen work, that it risks many jobs, that the quality is low and that the bar for what is considered great art is lowered substantially. This is why the company will never endorse art generated by AI.

⭐Christmas Drawing Challenge!⭐

From mystic Inx to mischievous Theo, all characters in our game received Marina's party invitation. But none of their costume ideas quite feel like a winning match... *Can you help them get ready?* #drawingchallenge (🧵1/3)

Winter has come...!

(Sketchbook drawing by player 亵渎.)

Picture of a digital drawing as drawn in the Draw & Guess sketchbook section. Depicts a wintery scene of Chinese temple-style grounds, with a leafless tree in the middle, standing in front of a low building with orange-yellow lit windows. A small figure walks through the snow, away from the steps of the house and towards an open compound gate in the back. Further in the background is a temple tower reaching into the sky. In the front right is part of a terrace with a wooden enclosure. Everthing is covered in a thick layer of snow.

Not sure why, but we kiiiiinda have the impression Marina's weekend pyjama party may have gone a bit long...

When we started in 2021, Draw & Guess's colour palette didn't include greys. Glad we changed that..!

Depicts the titular character of Black Myth: Wukong on the left, and calligraphic Chinese characters for "Wukong" on the right, both on a solid background. Apart from a game UI button in yellow in the top left, the entire picture is only using grey and black hues.

Full-heartedly agree! First and foremost alt texts should make images more accessible for users. In this particular case there is that added benefit, but it's defo not a *requirement* for the artist. :)
