I don't know how accurate it is, but I wonder if it's some combo of: 1. Most artists that people actually have heard of tend to be famous and/or wealthy 2. A perception of art being inherently frivolous 3. A low-key resentment of anyone earning a living doing something they actually like

The creature work is quite good! Granted, I was a bit disappointed in the human characters' animation by comparison, and the use of gen AI "in several ways" (to quote them) dampened my enthusiasm for the game overall. Still, I do love that they invested so much in creature anim

Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

Influences, streamers and content creators! I'd love to make you a free hat! My name is Sara Winters and I run @wheremyhatisat.bsky.social - I do custom embroidery, especially nerdy stuff. I'm a gamer and MTG player and blind, and make custom hats, + would love to trade some product for visibility.

A photo of four embroidered hats, the top one is yellow and says "Thall's Balls Sports Complex" in black. The next one down is a Sharlayan Studium hat of lavender text on a navy hat. Next down is an interpretive version of Kefka from FF6 with the text "u mad"? Finally, at the bottom, in lavender, is Brave Little Pogchamp in the Eorzean language on a hat.

A blue hat embroidered with "Really? Right in front of my" followed by images of two blue mana symbols from MTG.

A black hat with embroidery. There is an orange kitten holding a hand of trading cards with white text that reads "I scoop at instant speed"

A purple hat with embroidery. There is a white kitten holding a a green book with white text that reads "don't bother me, I'm reading"

casual note that IGF submissions close in a week and a half so if you were thinking of getting a game in this year, time's running short! (It's fine if your build isn't bug-free right now, you can patch it over the course of the competition - esp if you submit via a steam key)

also if i could beam one bit of advice into the heads of bigger submittees this year it might be this. we've been seeing an increase in nextfest demo submissions over the last few years - if your game is coming out in the next 6 months it's usually way better to submit a dev build than a short demo
