Starting messing with melting beads recently. I thought I’d start by making the player from RavenStar! There’s something so satisfying about seeing your pixel art take physical form.

So there's this indie developer who is making a mini-metroidvania where you play as a raven born without wings, cast out of your village, and every new friend you make unlocks a new ability to get home. It's called RavenStar, do you want to play?

if I seem militant about AI it's because a lot of my friends are writers, concept artists, QA people, etc, and they are the ones who are currently having their careers obliterated by that shit. not speculatively. happening right now. I don't see a need to be soft towards ppl who shrug at that
