One of the upgrade assets I made for ENGINE ANGEL's prototype that I liked. It was a pixelated sprite that breathed in-game thanks to @anabell.zone !

Also, if you’re easily paralyzed by dread and grief when these murders crop up on your TL and don’t know what to do: today is a fantastic day to evaluate your skills and what community support you can offer should the need arise in your own backyard. What can you contribute today? In the future?

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Here's another enemy concept for ENGINE ANGEL, Wrecking Angels. (name pending)
It's slow, but has massive strength and range thanks to its ball & chain. Believes humans admire destruction.
It certainly believes its newest passenger of the week does.

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.
HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.
Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

A reminder that The Escapist that people remembered does not exist anymore. Almost all the core staff packed up and left. Most reformed as Second Wind, which is doing decent work.

The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.
The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original.

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."
Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.
I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

I made designs for this! Here's the main rally couple, angel THRONE and human Ms. Garter.
ENGINE ANGEL is a 'car'-acter action game, where you smash, rip & tear hordes of other angel infested vehicles dying for worship.
As said, we're looking for funding to make this in full!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just took a strong stance against AI slop
The new theatrical short 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Chrome Alone 2 – Lost in New Jersey' has an anti-AI message.

A new holiday level for White Knuckle just dropped! One of this year's best early access releases for sure.
The way it's shaping up, the final version will be an all-time classic. Just such great feel and a focused design with enough wiggle-room for some creative twists.

Bet. First, I'm gonna cheat and get four games from Enigma Studio because I really want to get around to talking about them and i haven't yet. First, play The Enigma Machine. It's a short (~1-2 hour) horror game about managing an AI's dreams.

Well. One of the cutest SFW furry artist got banned from PayPal. What more proof do y'all need that we need to keep fighting the good fight?

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do
