Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I have cool news to share today! 🎉🍣🤖

Sushi For Robots is releasing on consoles later this month (October 23rd). This wouldn't have happened without @mameshibagames.com, who basically remade the game to port it over and is handling its publication. It's very exciting to see this happen!

And here is a random screenshot I took from the illustration drawing process. I guess next time I will record my screen for the entire process so that I can share those accelerated cool timelapse videos too.

So which capsule style should I go for?
Pixel art or illustration?

It's been a long time since I've done any illustration work, so I decided to make one for my game.

What do you think?
Done in approx 6 hours.

Notice the color palette doesn't match the game's because I wanted something more vibrant like GameBoy box covers had.

Yes, it is the same version as on Itchio. I would have preferred a lower amount but for now we can not afford less I'm afraid

Antoine G. 🐼💤 @sleepingpanda.bsky.social · 20d

Je voulais garder la compatibilité avec la GameBoy d'origine, donc c'est pour ça que le jeu reste en 4 couleurs

Je voulais aussi pouvoir différencier la version PC de la version GameBoy, et faire un petit clin d'oeil aux anciens jeux qui portaient la mention DX
