Was very happy to contribute some thoughts to this excellent article 🙏
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

For @shoreinf.bsky.social I reviewed A Song of Legends Lost: an epic science fantasy debut from M.H. Ayinde, rich with macuahuitl-wielding warriors and Final Fantasy-esque Invokers. It's got some growing pains, but is a must-read for fight scene fans ⚔🐉🤖🦾
