I dislike Art-speak. (deliberately sophisticated, abstract, often hard-to-understand language in contemporary art) Adding a minimum amount of words as a requirement for an artist statement does not help with keeping things consise : (

Axe Ghost. On Steam!@axeghostgame.bsky.social · 6mo agousing llms can mean unusually low expression of authorial intent, or unusually high expression of it. "make me a [product]" offloads labour & judgment but delegation of rote work frees time & energy which can be used to express greater degree of intent (exploration, choices, refinements)

This week we get a new Boards of Canada album *and* 868-BACK. Incredibly, Tomorrow's Harvest and 868-HACK were both released in 2013.
Make a game for eight players, they said. It'll be fun! They said... * *it is actually fun, just a bit clumsy at times.
Today marks the 50th anniversary of *the big earthquake* in my beloved Friuli region. As the living memory of lives lost and devastation fades away, we praise those who picked up and rebuilt better than before
Tentacular is still a really cool VR sandbox creation experience - on top of the 8h main/side story
Yes, it is true. We dusted off Chalo Chalo and are working on an update.
Axe Ghost.

My process for finding Bento outputs that I like is deliberately not that efficient. I enjoy taking my time and watching the outputs appear in an animated way.
It's been a while since I last touched one of my generative art projects. Dusting off Bento to create some postcards and prints.
Often my projects don't require me to draw much and I forget how much I actually enjoy it. Some sketches for Foundling.
A full playthrough of our current prototype. Thoughts, feedback, feelings welcome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qup...
