Im moving at the moment and I'm starting to think that maybe I didnt need to keep all those boxes after all. Will I learn anything from this? Absolutely not.

A little shout out to a side project of mine called, Geo Art Ref. It's a reference library of geometric shapes in simple lighting to learn from. Great for those looking to brush up on their skills or get started in art! Using the coupon "Free" will get you everything for $0. www.geoartref.com

This is NOT the direction games should be going in. In every shot the Art Direction was taken away for the senseless addition of "details". Each DLSS 5 shot looked worse and had less character than the original. This is just a garbage AI Filter. Lets not do this shit.

Larian, in case you hadn't realized, we aren't just objecting to genAI being detectable in the final product. We are objecting to genAI being used AT ALL. AT ANY POINT. EVER. FULL STOP. If you use it during the dev process but then replace it by the time the game ships, that doesn't make it okay.

Hey Larian, hey Swen. Just dont. Just dont use AI. Its that simple. If you're using it for Concept Art, you are replacing people. If you are using it for Writing, you are replacing people. If you are using it at all in the development of the product, then its in the final product. Just dont use it.

Question for my fellow game devs! What is something that you wish Concept Artists would know about your role in the pipeline? What can we do better to help facilitate those who come after us? Please share your thoughts if you have any, I would love to know!

Today marks 5 years with Gunfire Games! In that time, I've worked on some of the coolest projects, met new amazing friends, made the other side of the world my home, and raised two super cute kitties! It's been a crazy journey, and I am excited for many more years to come!

Anna's work is always a joy to see! She can design anything and its always incredibly beautiful to look at. Not only is she an amazing concept artist shes also an incredible Illustrator! Anna's been a great lead over the last few years and I've learned so much from working with them!

Jeff Talbot @jefftalbot.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Another incredible artist I work with. Aleksei's ideas are second to none! He's always coming up with the most interesting and unique concepts that guide the entire team to create the crazy cool games we make over at Gunfire. Definitely worth a follow!

It feels so awesome when you open up the Resin printer to see a successful print waiting there for you. It almost beats the paranoia of me thinking I'm poisoning myself despite following all the safety protocols I can.
