Hello! I'm Kit, a game designer and founder of my own little LLC game studio.

Today I want to share my process for creating some textures and noises I made for the soundtrack of the game 'Oops! You're the Hero'.

The game is being developed by the folks at @artificiumgames.bsky.social.

I want to point out my partner is playing Baldurs Gate for the first time and immediately went for Durge, and now gets to go through what everyone else has with Alfira

Alfira: I woke up and wanted to be brave!

Partner: In that outfit?

Today I want to share another part of the soundtrack for Tic Tactics, a game I had the privilege of writing the soundtrack.

Here I'm playing some of the guitar I recorded for this soundtrack. This is one of the tracks from some of the later stages of the game.

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a statue of a woman reaching up with light emanating from her hand. On the background there are ruins of a building with plants growing amidst the remnants of a broken stained glass window framing a sky filled with stars.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Fuck me this is bleak.
But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

‘Children's book illustrator isn't a job anymore.’
I've been out of work for a while now. I made children's book illustrations, stock art, and took various art commissions.

Now I have several maxed out credit cards and use a donation bin for food. I haven't had a steady contract in over a year. two weeks ago, when a client who has switched to AI found out about this he gave me $50 out of "a sense of guilt." Basically pity for the fact that Illustrator, as a job, does not exist anymore.

It was my birthday recently and I sincerely considered not living anymore.
The worst part of all is that the parents who once supported me fully in being an artist sent me an AI generated picture of a caricature of themselves holding a birthday cake with my name spelled incorrectly.
