1st day of semester and I did 6 hours of lectures with no break 💪🏻 A bit tiring but at least I'm not teaching at Euan Blair's AI school. Check out this dystopia bullshit 👇 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

when you find an incredible looking game an you see a no-ai blurb at the end of the description... hell yeah Almost wish steam would make a specific badge for AI-free games now
No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

For those interested in making comics: Please do it. Do it now. Your first few comics will suck, but it will get better with the time and energy you put into it.

More Ripley, first test with acrylics…honestly, I find them pretty tricky to control. Finishing with color pencils and ball point pen (and that's what really saves it) #EllenRipley #Alien #Portrait #acrylics #traditionalart

Love the sets of Space 1999. Clearly inspired by the space station and lunar base sets of 2001, but with what we'd call these days a liminal vibe. Production design by Keith Wilson who worked a lot with Gerry Anderson but also did films

At ILM, Todd has composited so many iconic shots. 🤯 I have a lot of reservations about this movie, but this particular shot of a falling ship is just magical. All the shots and posters featuring falling ships are great. Long live falling ships.

I don’t think I can truly state how nice it feels to have one of my references lead to someone making and then sharing the art inspired in some way from a photo I shared. I put a lot of energy into trying to find intresting corners of the city and I’m glad when they find an artist interested in them
