Limitation drives ingenuity in design. Using the slop shortcut not only gets you an inferior version of your vision, it denies you the opportunity to learn and innovate by coming up with your own solution. It makes you a weaker creator, full stop. If you care about your craft, care about honing it.

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

A Steam AI Generated Content Disclosure The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: AI-generated voiceovers for ingame characters. This is a indie no-budget production. Sorry :-'(

Also if you're a comics creator, be sure to check out @cartoonist.coop . They are doing incredible stuff fighting to improve and protect worker rights in the comics industry. They also provide a lot of opportunities and resources for indie creators!

If you'd like to help the indie community, support the people over at Comic Fury, Spider Forest, Comic Rocket, Webcomic Library, Webcomic Travelogue, Comix Cleric- and many more. Check out those places for webcomic resources and to keep things creator owned. That was the whole point of webcomics.

The thing that makes me most angry about what's happened to webcomics is how the scene has been imitating the shitty industry more each year: companies are taking advantage of artists, grinding them up, and leaving them to dry after they get their use outta them. Webcomics should stay indie.

I think it'd be cool if we had a larger discussion on the direction of conventions in NA- how expensive they are, how little artists make back, how much artists have to put in to even get accepted- And let's not forget how ridiculous the expectations are for presentation and merchandise with tables.
