Ci sono poche cose importanti da dire, e spesso manca anche la voglia.


Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: gamespot.com/articles/baldu… We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.


Italian indie developer Santa Ragione says the studio faces closure after its game HORSES was blacklisted on Steam. The surreal horror title lets players mount and ride naked humans on a farm while completing strange and unsettling tasks.


We've signaled it. Ice-Pick Lodge is developing Darkwood 2. We’re ready to build on the world created by @TheAcidWizard, whose work we deeply admire. @HoodedHorseInc will be our publisher for this sequel, in consultation with the Acid Wizard team.
