Since the expansion is now in the wilds, it's safe for me to post this now!

I drew a special piece of pixel art for Kingdom Death's new release "Wanderer - Aeneas," a project I've been blessed to collaborate for.

This is wild. The Indie Game Awards retracted Clair Obscur's GOTY/debut indie wins for undisclosed use of AI during development.
The IGAs Nomination Committee is officially retracting Debut Game and Game of the Year, awarding both categories to new recipients. Additionally, we are retracting one of the Indie Vanguard recipients.

Full details can be found in our FAQ under Game Eligibility: www.indiegameawards.gg/faq

Denizens of grasslands, antelopes once ranged as far as Coerthas before the Calamity buried the region in snow. Though coveted for their meat and milk, the creatures have eluded full domestication owing to their ornery temperament.

Speaking as someone who was responsible for hiring actors in 3 big AAA video games, VO is one of the cheapest assets in the game. Gargantuan bang for buck. I think we spent as much on a single character model as we did on all the VO for the whole game.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

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.

These dipshits don’t realize that its not JUST the use of AI that’s the problem: its the erosion of trust. They can say “oh its just for placeholders.” Or “oh its just for pre production” too bad, we cant trust you. Once its used, Its pandora’s box. You can’t un-fuck this
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

God finding out that both Sandfall and Larian both use GenAI in the same week has been soul crushing

I guess that means Look Outside is my GOTY then!

I think I'm going to take advice from friends and followers and do quick sketch commissions. I'm not only having to save up for a new vehicle, but I also have pay bills. And my half of the electric is over $100--

THESE WILL BE $15 EACH $25 FOR TWO CHARACTERS

I'm so sorry for big titty examples

My Hero Acadamia finally comes to a close, with the anime's final episode today.

It was a delight. Constantly found myself pausing frames to absorb all the little details constantly being sneaked into it.

I wish more game journalists would ask the Clair Obscur team how much AI they used and on what, because I definitely get the feeling it wasn’t just that one placeholder asset..

Artists will keep being replaced and people will keep pretending to be outraged and then something will be released that makes them sad but In A Meaningful Way and they'll go "oh but it was only for" and it'll turn out it was only for a job that was previously done by a person.

You have to stick to your fucking principles, otherwise you're just fucking posturing

Did you care about AI or did looking like you care about AI make you feel like you were caring about something that matters?

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is proof to me that AI will punch a hole clean through the entire art spectrum because as soon as it was used in something that made you feel something, 90% of so called critics went out of their way to go "well I think it's acceptable in this case"

Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that

But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out
