I made a little polymer clay dwarf for @hookariagames.com , because we're working on Hold the Mine and it's fun ✨

It's funny because all the devs & pubs I heard from at Gamescom had strong anti-AI and "let's take our time" sentiments. Yes, they're all indies.

You're only listening to and parroting the side of the industry that's completely lost the plot and will chase infinite growth into a AAAA-sized grave.

GamesIndustry.biz @gibiz.bsky.social · Aug 22

At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

At Gamescom, it felt like the industry now has a plan: make games quicker | Opinion

And at least part of that plan involves AI

Here are all the transition weapon forms in Kitty’s Last Adventure!

My favorites to draw were definitely the Cupcats, which you can spot right at the start!

Two years ago, I never would’ve believed I could create all of this.
And on August 26, it’s finally the full release! 🎉
