#artvsartist for 2025: 💜 Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀
Folks who don’t make things don’t realize that art is ALL process The discovery and direction provided at the earliest concept stages is invaluable Even programmer napkin drawings shape the vision If you launder these crucial early steps through plagiarism machines, what are you even polishing?
Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out
Guess it’s time to call the senators again, but ughhh can these jerks just…stop? 💀 www.theverge.com/policy/82365...
Republicans are looking for a way to bring back the AI moratorium
Congress’ last attempt to pause state AI regulations failed.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on. You know what to do: www.stopkosa.com
Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963
Friends, we got a call to action 👇 We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi! This is why we need regulation like California’s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 ! If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!
I hope you like weird little guys. because the game I'm making features many weird little guys
“AI made art accessible” is like saying burglary made me having your tv accessible
sorry I haven't posted anything in a long time. my mental and physical health have been "not great" for the past few months. but I will get better!!! I can hear the pixels calling my name!!!!!
Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it. patreon.com/cheekynauts
someone on tumblr asked about what color palette I use. I pretty much always use my own palettes. this is the one I used for most of the old pixel art I've been reposting here #pixelart
it's Christmas! which means it is time to once again watch the hit 1996 movie Jingle All the Way!
I really hope there is an actual audience for the Yume Nikki inspired walking simulator game I am working on
