I'm looking for concept artists or illustrators working in gamedev who would like to share thoughts or comments (anonymous or attributed) regarding the use of GenAI as a reference tool in their process.

If that's you, DM or email me! Details in bio.

Another gem to discover? I'll definitely give it a look!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I've never wanted something less. I've been using Linux on one of my PCs for a couple of months now with no issues so I'll be continuing down that road

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

🤘 🖤

bit more progress

3 islands that represent chapter biomes in puzzle game

Overworld progress has been great this week

Monocular Odyssey game level select area snowy stone area with green trees

3rd or 4th iteration of level select area for chapter one? By far my best efforts so far, still needs some work though

Damn, made this decision over 12 months ago and it's only starting to take shape into something resembling a game again. Getting there slowly though

Did another quick painting this arvo. Still like doing the Tower of Babel

Maybe the reason corporate types like AI art is because it closely resembles design by committee. It's just every idea ever put in a blender and what you get out is a beige goo
