Hey hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Sam, the #pixelart specialist and #gamedev behind my #rpg known as #Moonshell_Island! I'm pretty busy rebuilding the project as I learn programming in #gamemaker, but may be open to pixel art work in the future.

patreon: patreon.com/cheekynauts
wishlist: s.team/a/1629660
Moonshell Island scene of a group of NPCs gathered inside a community hall decorated with string lights for New Years Moonshell Island's protagonist Sam (a young purple haired girl) talking to Douglas (a large beaver guy) in a verdant lakeside area near his carpentry shack. Douglas: Sounds like you've got something radical in mind... Lay it on me, bud! Sam: I'm rebuilding this game from scratch! [unselected dialogue option]: Where's the self-destruct button on this thing? Aseprite update trailer scene of a vibrant platformer with mountains and swirly trees, a bunny protagonist, and a giant carrot in the ground. A Halloween themed platformer scene of a bunny girl wearing a ghost costume in a misty graveyard set against a full moon, gnarly trees, and large pumpkins with flirty faces carved into them. A tombstone in the foreground reads "RIP October".

The goose is out of the bag! The illustrated puzzle I've been working on is now available through magicpuzzlecompany.com/products/the... This is the biggest drawing I've ever done and I'm so pleased with how it turned out
A drawing of flooded overgrown ruins in bird's eye view. A man is wading through the water on stilts. A drawing of a hot air balloon above overgrown ruins. A group of sailors is looking at birds through telescopes. A drawing of an excavation site amid overgrown ruins. An artist is sketching under a tree.

Every time I'm only given the option to say "not right now" instead of "no" to a company or service trying to push AI on me, I think of this
A screenshot of a Tumblr post by user teabree-shark that says, "Do you think Microsoft understands consent?" above a poll whose options are "Yes" and "Remind me in 3 days".

Detective Instinct is 20% OFF for Steam's Detective Fest from NOW through the 19th - on both Steam AND Switch 😮

Now would be a great time to check out our DS-inspired mystery adventure. Come for the retro vibes, stay for the heartfelt, character-driven narrative 👀

stuff like this is one of the reasons why it’s incredibly important to constantly film everything ICE is doing while terrorizing communities bc it humiliates them

In Dreambrush, paint that you use for combat can give effects to mobs and objects it covers!

Ex: Yellow shocks things, blue freezes things solid, and green sends things aloft for a few seconds!

I can't wait to show off the new goodies in the game since I moved engines.🎨 #gamedev #godot #pixelart

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

An official Japanese 1988 guide for Super Mario Bros. 3 contains a small drawing of a Thwomp on the cover that, instead of the usual grimace, has a mischievous, cat-like expression. I have created a high-quality recreation of this Thwomp.

Why is the dessert fork so small? Do these fools think they can make me eat dessert slower, or eat less of it? Do they think they can dissuade me? Discourage me? They'll soon learn these tactics are in vain.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.

"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."
