this is not a problem in any way what-so-ever, but whenever I export a PSD from Procreate I get a disabled layer with this specific green color set to 50% opacity. WHY?

Imagination is the ability to see into the future and conceptualize an event or phenomenon without it having actually happened. Working in an environment where a reliance on data stifles the imagination and punishes intuitive thinking is deeply unpleasant for any creative person. I would call it “dehumanzing”, but science has shown strong evidence for imagination all across the animal kingdom. So perhaps it would be better to say that it is anti-life, given that the qualities required for creative work seem to be distributed across various different creatures (just not the ones who wear suits and post on LinkedIn).

I've spent most of this week on drawing this one background. I think what takes a lot of time in 2D, you can do very quickly in 3D and vice versa. 3D model this path: <1h Draw this path: >9h Draw a character: <1h 3D model a character: ~8h

My pitch for a game that is heavily inspired by dreams: do very confusing things that are hard to describe in words, then wake up and immediately forget what you dreamt

in the morning
A little mysterious creature in a cloak that obscures their face aside from two glowing yellow eyes holds a curved staff that resembles a fern. They stand on a grassy ridge waiting for something or someone, waiting for the sun, waiting for the moon, waiting forever.

Could someone please hack these AI-developer companies and just do ctrl+A, DELETE on everything? Sounds like that could prolong human civilisation a couple years at this point, thanks

I find wrangling with chaos way more appealing than butting my head against a difficult, controlled challenge. To me getting past a crazy, bouncing shopkeeper in Spelunky is way more interesting than dying to the same Dark Souls boss over and over.

Release-hype or goty-hype, most hype really kind of ruins my experience with games. I couldn't enjoy Outer Wilds and I fell off Silksong quite quickly. Maybe I would have felt the same regardless, but especially in the case of Outer Wilds I feel too much pressure to get this emotional experience

This made me realize I don’t struggle very much with imposter syndrome, but at the same I don’t really consider myself to have any particular strengths in art. Except maybe that even when I have limited skills/knowledge in something I can often come up with some fun/silly/smart solution to a problem

i miss when all my favorite artists were super active on tumblr, now nobody really seems to ’belong’ anywhere and i dunno how to keep up with them when i also try to be less on social media (which drowns them out so much)

my most emotional eclipse moment was the day after when i watched a clip from swedish news where a bunch of people went to see it, but it got cloudy, everyone was bummed. then in the nip of time the clouds dispersed and they showed a short montage with inspiring music.

Thinking about a new key art/Steam capsule for Bibi, the current one is a little dull and not as eye-catching as I'd like it to be (left: new sketch, right: current one)

did you know i have an amazing game you can play for free that's full of many animals and things. and they all do funny little animations when you find them
several creatures from Formless Star, including a mole cricket like creature with a sapling on its head, a walking mech, a little dancing snowflake, a decomposing skull faced heap, a stack of colourful cylinders, a striped toy bird, and an extruded star with a face and limbs

Eurogamer wrote about Bibidi Bibidi!! www.eurogamer.net/bibidi-bibid...

I've fallen in love with Steam's latest ingenious card battler, and this one feels like playing with unstable elements that could explode without warning at any moment
Alongside its intriguing name and its excellent lineage, Bibidi Bibidi has a wonderful central conceit.

A while ago I talked to a publisher who specialise in strategy games and they gave me these numbers as their benchmark for good retention/playtime. • 75/80% - 10min • 30/50% - 30min • 10/15% - 2h So we're quite relieved about where the Bibidi Bibidi demo is at right now!

This is the lifetime wishlist history of Bibidi Bibidi! Next Fest gave us a pretty decent push, we were at ~1200 going in, ~1800 after. Tonight Retromation played the game and now we're past 2100. I did a lot of email outreach (sent around 800 emails) and we participated in a couple of festivals.
