(The final splash arts for those characters, for comparison)

But the idea that you would rather use AI than cheap, ugly, quick, or incomplete placeholders because it "looks better," to me, calls into question the function placeholder art has in a process.

The goal was to make something obviously not intended for release, so there would be NO way for any patches to ship without somebody seeing it and thinking "oh, we still need the final art in here."

Obviously, the situation is different from E33 regarding the art's function (splash vs environment),

A small thought on "placeholder" art in games that's been on my mind today bc of E33

In its early days, League of Legends accidentally released characters/skills with placeholder art instead of their finished versions. So now, all splash art looks like this until the final version:

Hiiii I made the music for this trailer :)

Hope everyone had a good Halloween:)

I have started it, and put it down after the first time it force-closed itself, as I was pretty busy and felt like it was a good stopping point. When I picked it back up I was confused and delighted. Every few months I pick up the game again. I should finish it

wow thank you so much!

such an incredibly heartfelt meditation on finding something so special in a work that very few seem privy to and what it means for a creative work to (not) leave a legacy. i love art about art.

I did a playthrough of slay the princess but I feel like the game has so much more for me, I should revisit

what

i actually played pseudoregalia a bit after it came out and loved it

hello people who play indie games

give me a recommendation please :) i have some free time

Thank you so much, this means a lot!

reviews are in and fans are raving have you taken the time to watch my new favourite youtube video about an unserious topic that will come around to its thesis and make you think more seriously about what having a creative impact even means than you have in several years?

i don't really know what to say about a lot of it aside from i was nervous to make something genuine about a silly-ish topic, but i'm happy it resonates with people. ppl have reached out and said that they really liked it too. it gives me confidence and a lot of gratitude
