A small game studio run by a husband @fleckenstein.substack.com and wife @holylouna.bsky.social team and powered by AI.
We always dreamed of building our ideal game: not something small, but something only huge studios could afford. Now the studio is no longer required. New AI-driven tools finally let us turn that dream into reality.

I’ve spent the past few days creating horses for the game

They, are very important to our artistic vision, and I want them to look exactly as I imagine

Our database for training combines multiple techniques from hand drawing to synthetic data

Every day we're confronted with an absurd reality: no artist, no filmmaker, no game developer does what we do, yet they all yell that we’ve stolen something from them.

The world is changing, and gamedev is evolving with it.
Soon, creating the game of your dreams won’t require a studio; just vision, creativity, and the right tools.
The future of gaming is in the hands of the creators themselves

Stealing images from medieval artists to train generative models for our game.

I hope they’re rolling in their graves right now out of sheer rage.

Artists cry that demand for their work dropped off.
But are you really an artist if you're that easy to replace?

Developing our game's art style piece by piece. Training a LoRA on aged wood textures (via Gemini) to enhance backgrounds in Illustrious/SD. Each LoRA is another tool in the kit — building toward a fully custom model trained on our own assets.

Our characters are powered by AI; not scripted, but alive.
They remember, react, and evolve with you. You can fight beside them, argue, fall in love, or turn them into your enemies.
Your choices shape who they become, and who you’ll be to them.
