Unfortunately true. I have have more negative experiences commissioning art than positive ones. Some people are very talented, but should not make their craft into a job. Artists, if you truly want to people to turn away from AI, do better.
“Support real artists! Don’t use AI!” I DID. I spent THOUSANDS commissioning artists who took my money, ghosted me for months, and spent their time pumping out adoptables and YCHs instead of delivering my artwork. So I used AI to finish what they wouldn't. Now other artists refuse my money because I've used AI. You told me to support artists. I DID. You took my money, wasted my time, and now shame me for finding an alternative. You're not fighting AI. You're driving paying customers straight into its arms.

Good. And this is a super reasonable policy. A huge and unreasonable burden for itchio, and more so for those who handcrafted their games, tools and assets. It's really unfair for their work to be drowned out by passionless slop.
Just deleted a couple terabytes of ai slop 😌

Terrible news Sir Patrick Stewart has died at 86. With a career spanning more than six decades, Stewart became one of the most respected actors in film and television Thank you for the memories, Sir Patrick. You will never be forgotten.

I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe. Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development. • Set 600+ years after the Reaper War • You play as a customizable N7 agent • Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond • Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending • A galaxy divided into three major factions • Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together • Council races forming their own alliance • The Geth emerging as a third superpower • A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary • Geth-built megastructures • Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda • Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference • Hacking and manipulating the environment • See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more • Handcrafted missions like ME1-3 • But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them • Brutal close-range executions • Squadmates who can clash with each other • Romance wasn't being sanitised • Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist. It looked incredible. And now we may never get to play it. Find out more here: youtu.be/ZOWrTNazZxM #SaveMassEffect

I enjoy coding, I enjoy game design, I enjoy modeling, I enjoy putting it all together and see it come to life. I might be slow, and I might not be the best dev in existence, but I enjoy it. And I want to learn and improve. If I fall behind, so be it. This is not a race.

Red Dead Redemption 2 just got a new mod titled "enRAGE" that adds a fully functional nemesis system into the game. This makes every single NPC have a name, traits, quirks, a trade, a faith, a family and a life story. So people you meet turn up again in the same towns with the same face and the same grudges as it adds a full memory system. The map is now populated with 8 factions that are constantly at war with each other, having their own hierarchy and captains that you or their enemies can take out. Every single encounter is remembered, including exactly where you wounded them in the case that they survive the fight. This means that RDR2 now has a fully functional faction war that goes on all the time with this mod and factions will remember your actions against them. There is a ton of new dialogue and you can even interrogate NPCs now to get additional information on their friends and allies. This is an extremely impressive mod and it's now available in early access to download for anyone who has RDR2 on PC.

Stormhowl — X9E Charged Revolver A futuristic revolver designed around a mix of traditional firearm mechanics and sci-fi technology. This project was an opportunity to experiment with complex hard-surface shapes, mechanical details, and a more aggressive weapon design. Built primarily as a high-detail modeling and rendering project rather than a game-ready asset. More Here: #Blender3D #HardSurfaceModeling #SciFiArt #3DArt
