I adored that game as kid when it first came out. I did not expect to see that pop up in my timeline today :D

It made me laugh pretty hard. It was really good (and GROSS)

Well at least with me you will always know which utensil I stuck in the toilet. 😂 (sorry I couldn't resist, I loved that analogy and I hope you don't mind if I use it later.)

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I like you a lot. I super appreciate this conversation. I can't help you with Star Wars, but I can with my games. If you want a refund I will give you one. I just want you to know things really arent black and white. It sucks and its a hard thing to navigate.

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

They weren't even brave enough to disclose that on Steam.

110

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I thought you should know. You are going to have a hell of a lot less games to play now and in the future. Concept art is some of the most critical and destroyed parts of game dev jobs, but ok.

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

So I should lay down and die in the meantime? Pretty privilaged. Oh I know, I'll just Door Dash my way out of it. Data centers been a problem for decades. Im glad people are waking up now to it though. Thats great. Hopefully vote in change. I know I will.

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Thats where we don't agree and that is okay. You see it as a moral issue. I have been in this business over 30 years and seen every evolution of this argument since the beginning. I am obligated to not end up homeless and provide for my two kids. I do genuinely respect your take. Its not my path.

100

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Welp, thats certainly a take. Sorry to see you go. Wish you the best.

100

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Sorry. Not all my games will use it as stated. That one is. Not that it will bring you any comfort but the use is building 3D models from my art. Not out of thin air prompts. I'm sorry you are disappointed and absolutely your right. I hope you will still support the games that don't use it.

Says the dude using a social media platform that uses AI. Blocked.

000

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Its clear you have no idea what you are talking about nor how I used "AI". Go ahead and preach though. If you were so concerned about it you wouldn't be using social media as all social media platforms use it. Something something, he who casts stones should not live in a glass house.

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Damn you guys are the best. All those wishlists already. I won't let you down. Thank you. 😭

020

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Picking something I dont have already but would be cool to have in the game would help me not waste precious time while I show you guys the cool stuff. I want to be 100% open to how I am trying to achieve this so you can make your own choices! 🫶 2/2

020

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I'm going to show you guys how the sausage is made and demonstrate exactly how I use AI modelling tools to create models using MY art and not an text prompt. Then how I clean it up when its required. Post what you would like me to make a video of. I have skeletons, goblins and orcs so far. 1/2

Please tell me this is not a real Hoffbrau advertisement. I will be very sad. I love Hoffbrau.

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Thank you. I dont want to break trust which is why I posted how I used it. I just made another post I hope you read that explains further. I dont always plan on using it unless its simply stupid not to, like batch processes or really monotonous shit.

000

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

If it bothers you, thats fine -don't buy or promote it. Thank you for understanding. 4/4

020

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

This game could not be made any other way in the time that I had before I am going to end up on the streets. No joke. However, this one does well enough - it will afford me the breathing room to finish War for Midgard which will not use AI at all. I would appreciate your help getting there. 3/4

120

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

- and not entirely because of AI. No one is hiring, especially people who are really expensive and my age. I am simply trying to continue to do what I love, what you guys have loved from me the last 30 years and keep from ending up homeless while keeping my kids fed. 2/4

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Some of you are upset that I used AI at all in Die as Heroes. Look I get it. As someone who has been making games for 30 years and also an artist, I tried to use it in the most ethical way possible. Video games are in a really weird place. Everyone is getting fired/laid off - 1/4

Or perhaps even older stuff, I guess this is the world we are living in now.

Kristofor Durrschmidt @volgarr.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Or do you want to see even older stuff from like 14 years ago maybe like this?
