Craft a neighborhood of tiny, beautiful lived-in homes in a variety of settings. Announced during our Wholesome Snack showcase, SUMMERHOUSE is a small building game and a love letter to the feeling of long-lost summer afternoons.

I deleted my post of painting in Photoshop with an AI interpretation running as I was painting. The amount of hate, negativity, and fear was staggering and I don't want to defend myself against that. My stance on AI is that it can become a powerful, artistic tool if the tools are steered in the right direction.. away from pure text-based AI, towards tools that rely on artistic intent, purpose, painting, and sculpting. Human creativity and skill will always be valuable, and it can evolve alongside AI, IMO, but the way we create and tell stories in the future will be different than it was yesterday. Thanks to those of you who were reasonable voices in that chaos of replies😅 Above all else it's important that we're reasonable to those that we don't agree with, even if it's difficult at times ♥️ And to those of you wondering, I'm not going to be making AI only going forward but these days I'm short on time outside of work/family so a lot of my posts are short experiments of new workflows.

I feel like it's time to weigh in on #GodotEngine. I've been using it for 4 years now and made @DomeKeeper with it. What absolutely stands out to me is the development speed. I can iterate so much faster with GDScript and Godot. And...🧵

Some characters I made with #MagicaCSG for a game project thing I'm working on - the idea is 'characters who can pick up and throw other characters' #screenshotsaturday
