Failed artist, but still trying it. https://endvertex.com/links.html

Was Premetamorphic Green Hunter different in DLC? In base game I beat it my first try. But even with a much higher level, it took 5 tries in the DLC. I don't remember it being able to spam those skewer grabs and then immediately go into a belly flop.

"Hello yes, I am calling from Estella Opera House. We would like several giant female spider puppets. No, not for a show. But we do want them to sing. Very loud. Shatter your eardrums before your brain catches up to the horror it's seeing, yes mhm" - who put this order in to Venigni Works?

Screenshot from the game Lies of P. Main character P stands over a just beaten female spider puppet. It's twice his size, all white, and dressed like an old French aristocrat with a ruffle collar, and feathers and a white rose in its giant wig. It's wearing high heels on its eight legs and they appear to be dipped in blood.

Posted that speed runner before, but I've really enjoyed the whole Lies of P online community. I've rewatched so many Let's Plays, GDQ streams, and other speed runs. It's nice there.

I hated them so much, but it's undeniable how cool they were. Based on the amount of added lore and end credits renders in Overture, I think the creators liked them too

Screenshot from Lies of P showing the opening for a battle with the Black Rabbit Brotherhood. It's 4 figures all looking at the camera, and all wearing different rabbit-themed masks. All 4 of them are carrying a different type of weapon. In the center of the frame, they've propped up an open coffin with the letters "Liar" written inside it. To the left one of the brothers is gesturing toward the coffin, as if the viewer (your character in game) is about to be put into it.

Getting in some extra Spring nuzzles since apparently you lose your humanity when you start NG+. Why tho. I keep all my other levels. Why is 'advance' important but my heart isn't??

When I was young, I'd get so irritated with game endings not being "enough." Lies of P Overture is enough. The end credit renders? Started crying at the picture of Alidoro saving Eugenie and did not stop. Antonia and Polendina? Venigni and Pulcinella? Spring w/everyone??

I love you, P. But at what point are we gonna pick this guy up and take him directly to Venigni for repairs?? Can we at least give him one of the hundreds of repair kits we never use.

What have you come to tell me?"Screenshot from the game Lies of P. P is standing in front of a broken puppet who is propped up by a pile of scrap metal and puppet parts.

Keep seeing more artists apologize for not posting because they're working full-time jobs, and either the day job is not art-related, or they're under NDA. Really sucks that it's harder to build something and/or connect with people because you're not doing more work on top of work.

I'm making a cozy game and I need your help! My dream is to spend 2027 focusing on creating a small world in my art style for you to enjoy alone or with friends. I'm preparing a Kickstarter to buy me time to do that — link in replies, please click 'Notify me' & share with others!

My fave is how every role is referred to as 'dev' and equally responsible for every aspect of a game. "This dev added a character I hate!!" - and they're talking about a QA tester. "Why did you add in-game purchases!?" My guy, that is an environment artist. A junior environment artist.

Laxasia staring at her pierced iron helmet and STILL saying "Oh, Simon" - oof. Her ergo is only called 'Sad Zealot' because the word 'Simp' doesn't exist in Krat's lexicon.

Make it exist first... then leave it exactly as it is because quite frankly other tasks take priority sometimes. It's already good enough and nobody will spot that tiny mistake, and the fact that you created something in the first place is already an achievement

Its a really bizarre state you find yourself in when you work so much on commercial art that it becomes difficult to share. Because then, you stop existing, so to exist, you have to work double to make more, other art, which then doesn't represent your main career. So to solve that you have to -
