The proper role of machines in creative work is to make the process slower and harder, thereby lengthening the term the humans are employed

Things are p bad for creative professionals right now and based on the news will only get worse as people have less and less money for things such as commissioning music. I hope you know that if work dries up, it’s not because your art isn’t valuable or good or worthwhile or important

Addendum: we musicians are in a bit of a tough spot with this, but listeners are not. Cancel your subscription. There are plenty of other ways to stream or get music. Regardless of whether they do the AI remix shit (which I think they will), Spotify is terrible and shouldn’t get your money

Quote tweeting this part in particular, because the shortsightedness is so frustrating. Pubs used to think about portfolio management and long term scheduling (smart ones still do)

parasite attitude of people going ‘we are offering finishing money for your game. in return for your years of debt and struggle, we will take a large cut of your return and do a little work marketing the game. Thanks for not making us support you in your early years. Good luck with ur mental health’

Fightin' Cowboy is a real one for this. Good stuff.

Really want to stress this isn't a subpost of any one specific game but I feel like the 'watched Spirited Away once' cosy game visual aesthetic is pretty done now and we can move on.

I really hope somebody somewhere has already referred to this game as “David Lynch’s MYST”. I can’t be the first.

Treated myself to a day of working on fun visual effects for both of my active projects. Still some time before I can share a peek, but I feel that day getting so so close… 👀

I played quite a lot of AI Dungeon (LLM powered text adventure) and my take on that kind of thing is; these things are never going to be good until game designers are fully in charge of the projects, because anyone else without that background is too impressed by parlour tricks.

Howdy friends and all #GDC2025 goers. I’m proud to be soft launching my teams brand new title: Raising the Bar. She’s a bar management sim with a comedic heart and some real crunchy mechanics. Proud to be working with Pete and Scott at @fuzzyg.host on this deck & am eager to show it off at GDC!

I always knew Lorelei & the Laser Eyes would be 100% my shit, but was not prepared for how fully entrenched in my mind it’s become. 😵‍💫

Ok, let me be helpful here. As I've been talking to boutique publishers for the past couple of weeks thx to Siegecaster, here's what to expect at GDC. Let's start with: Are you only seeking "finishing funds"? Cool. Got 100k wishlists? Congrats! Risk is so low that's the game. Oh, you don't? Um...
