🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

John Picacio’s response to Must Read Magazine’s request for his waiver of all Moral Rights and Copyright of his commissioned art for an ASIMOV’S assignment. Short version — Picacio says a resounding NOPE.

Just to spread the word, there's a spammer contacting previous IFComp entrants. (Not this year's entrants, but 2025 and going back at least to 2011.) Trying to drum up traffic for his "IF community" Discord server. Short AI-generated queries about each game, faking personal interest.

One from the vaults! In September 1976 DC Thompson launched a new "mystery-thriller" weekly comic for girls called Spellbound. It served up serials such Mask of Menace and the weird and wild adventures of the Supercats, plus one-off tales of terror hosted by Damian Darke and Miss Hatherleigh.

Another classic turn of the century vending machine: The Cupid's Post Office. Sold in many variations - all terrifying - it's the love-themed postcard vendor that absolutely nobody ever needed.

An early variation of the Mills Novelty vending machine, Cupid's Post Office.

You had a silly idea! Be silly with it! Lean into it! Try things! Experiment! Invite other people to play and laugh with you! Don't just throw the idea at an AI and say 'hey make this game and create all the art and writing too' and then try to sell the result.

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

The 2D bundle on humble at the moment includes a surprising amount of games I already own, including Nova Drift which I have over two hundred hours on. This may not mean much because you're probably following me for narrative game content not my taste in roguelite shmups, but it's still awesome.

It's funny seeing people confused by a 1997 French Adventure game with Paulo Coelho & Moebius... We focus too much on GAMER stuff for millennials, so it's easy to miss how the 90s was full of Adventure games / Myst-likes made with TV channels, museums & famous authors to target then-adult audiences
