@playmygamesnow @KariKurei @IndieGameJoe so the typical AI reaction. Nothing i miss then

@nepharyiel @KariKurei @IndieGameJoe It was really angry lol i am not clear what the point was.

Game devs, please use real artists for your game’s Steam store capsule art. Thank you.

@playmygamesnow @KariKurei @IndieGameJoe What did that person even said? Cant see the comment anymore

@nepharyiel @KariKurei @IndieGameJoe Lol deal :) I'm Tony so you don't have to refer to me as playmygames guy

@playmygamesnow @KariKurei @IndieGameJoe "The Neph Guy" :D u can just call me Neph :D

@KariKurei @nepharyiel @IndieGameJoe Who are you replying to? I think the neph guy is saying Ai is everywhere and here to stay, which it sounds like you believe as well?

@CharlesHorwood @playmygamesnow @IndieGameJoe AI is more as just creating art

@playmygamesnow @IndieGameJoe This is a bad take, if you want to give your game project the love it deserves then don't use any genAI, we don't want it or need it, learn the skills or pay someone who already has, stop using plagerism tools to steal from artists!!

@playmygamesnow @BluePinStudio1 @IndieGameJoe Just ignore this, i also blocked the other dude now. Wasted time and just proves my point how less sense it takes to try to have a normal conversation about AI cause people comes only with the same repeating stuff cause nothing else they have

@BluePinStudio1 @nepharyiel @IndieGameJoe Lol this is a wild take!

@Svntvmvriv As long its just ad banners that dont interrupt the flow of a stream i dont care, even if i find it funny that kick will use ads when they 100% dont need this income

@DrFuryWolf @Pirat_Nation Making a game free to play with live Service is a Genshin clone? They not talking about gatcha System

@Pirat_Nation Execs wanting to turn every single legendary single player franchise into a Genshin clone is genuinely so exhausting

Former Square Enix business director Jacob Navok says the company missed a huge opportunity by not following the free-to-play live service model that made Genshin Impact a global success. Navok said Square Enix “failed to capture a new generation of players” because it stayed focused on traditional full-price game releases while the industry moved toward free-to-play ecosystems built around long-term engagement. He believes the company should create “modern ongoing free-to-play games” and explore bigger crossover ideas, including collaborations between Final Fantasy and K-Pop. Navok also said “excessive internal bureaucracy” slowed the company and made it harder to adapt to changes in the gaming industry.

@ASW_official_EU BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend atleast what i remember now oo

First #ArcSystemWorks game you ever played? 🧐 Where did it all start for you? 👇

@Necrolox1 @VolSkimmer should not, but u cant tell people what they do in their hotelrooms when a convention is in a hotel. As long they dont do it in middle of the crowd

@nepharyiel @VolSkimmer That should not be considered normal. Disgusting

There has been reports of NSFW activity happening at Combo Breaker 2026 People have been hearing "noises", claims of orgies, and even condoms found in random locations

@aliendarkwars @IndieGameJoe Not every Artist is using AI and is nothing bad when artists use AI to help their workflow. We need to stop make fun of it and need to learn to use it useful and not to create deepfake nonsense bullshit.

@PlimpDev @IndieGameJoe And besides of that are there enough people who shame people also to use ai for coding. As soon the word ai is included, enough people go on a rampage to just shit talk the person who using it.

It can also be fine for art. Not every solo dev has the money to pay people for their first game. U guys forget that normal game studios has for everything their people, a solo dev has to be all this people. U can't expect that one person learns everything or has the money to pay people for it when he don't made any earnings before. And don't argue now with another job. Take for example somebody who is maybe for health reasons not be able to work and is only at home cause they can't go outside. But the person starts to do something useful. U can't expect then that this person can afford an art for hundreds of dollars.

The comments under it proves again that the mindset from both sides are not good. Ai fans makes fun of it and ai "haters" just do their typical witch hunt. We need to find a way to use it useful and accepting that it's here and that it will not go anywhere. Why is ai ok for translations etc but not ok to help people with their workflow for coding? U are still a gamedev if your code is made by ai to 80% cause u still brought the ideas, the lore etc.

@Mrochi81 @IndieGameJoe Tbh I like yours more cause it shows the artstyle of the game. That would catch me more as the version from the artist

@IndieGameJoe Original programer art on the left. My pixel art logo + capsule art done by artist on the right.

Nobody will cares about ai or not in a few years. Ai will not go anywhere and even the avatar dude made it clear he will use ai for the next Avatar movie. He didn't said ai clear, but his wording to look for options to reduce costs it will be clearly ai. Iam atm looking into ai and how it can help me, also played a bit around with comfyui and it's not so easy how people think if u run it local and don't use chatgpt or so.

Real question, if I’m making my game 100% with AI and am super transparent about that, is it OK for me to commission capsule art? My intent was to do so, but the more I think about it, and see the anger from folks about AI in general, the greater my concern that using commissioned capsule art might be viewed as duplicitous. What are your thoughts here?

@AIArcades Kasumi from dead or alive or samus Arena from metroid!

Beach Cop set posted! Who do you want to see with this style?

Will be more active soon, still looking a bit around what kind of content i want to do. But what i can say, i will not seperate content with different accounts. Mean on this account will be SFW, NSFW, Gaming Photography, AI Content (Suno mostly) and of course my streaming content. To AI, iam just interested in it, what is possible etc. looking into it how i can connect it with my work to help my workflow, not to replace it. I still do my own assets for my game/art, but looking how it can help me with coding etc.
