How the fuck are devs supposed to survive if making a successful, beloved live service game isn’t enough to keep them employed

I don't get it, man. You make one of the most successful LIVE service titles of the generation, despite the world telling you LIVE service is dead - and still get laid off? What are we even doing at this point

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!

Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.

You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

If you work in the creative industries, please give feedback on this government public consultation on AI and our copyright.

ALCS provides help here with answering the questions, and you don’t have to answer every question to submit it.

The consultation ends SOON, Feb 25th:

A lot of people our age grew up in a world where doing an artistic job fulltime and live off it was certainly a challenge, but not the complete impossibility it is now, and it's very hard to just accept the world you wanted to live in has been destroyed on purpose by people who hate you.

don't hate-watch it, don't go see it to "see what it's like"

if we keep rewarding these cheap films, made to circumvent unionized feature animators by exploiting non-unionized vfx animators- many of which ARE feature animators too- they're just going to make more, let's learn from Disney okay

Man holding up hand written sign that says Elon can oligargle these nuts. The description above reads Oligargle has entered the lexicon.

Even physical games are bricked without PSN access if you need to pair a disc drive. This is why real physical media and disc drive access is vital.

Welcome to the future - nobody owns anything, and all art and entertainment is disposable, temporary, and lost forever.

Sorry for not being more active atm. I am currently dealing with some back pain issues. Hopefully will be able to get back to making art soon.

the hyacinth and its lore ⭐

illstration of a goth witch character with a red spider theme, the inside of her jacket and underside of her hat have a red spider web pattern, she is flying on a broom and is carrying a pumpkin

design illustrations for what could be an action video game, a large anthropomorphic pumpkin with vine powers that wears a barn coat, a gothy witch with a red spider theme, and her fluffy black cat with only half a tail and a candy corn collar tag

these designs I made for halloween a few years ago now always seem to go over well, so why not repost them 🤔

Sixth astarion quick comic strip. Prints available(link in bio)
Wanted to make a partner piece to my other nightmare comfort piece. Switched positions, now it’s astarion on top. I imagine tav would hold him and distract/soothe his mind from a nightmare by softly singing or smth else. #astarion #art

The dragon was not the captor and the princess not a prisoner, the beast was a loyal protector and the maiden was safe🐉

A witch reading a spell book with a snow owl sitting next to her and autumn forest and a dragon on the background.

"The Witch, the Dragon and a Magic Quill" 🧙‍♀️🐉✨🪶

What story do you imagine in this painting? 🤔

Part 5 of my affection themed tavstarion comic strips + drafts.

Tav reassuring astarion that he did the right thing and him expressing his emotions through leaning into tav‘s hands plus the palm kiss. I think we all know astarion is actually a cat hehe. #art #astarion

Just a girl and her two beloved pets spending their day under the sea🌊

Sorta a redraw of a two old Mermays I did (remember when I had time and energy to do WHOLE monthlong challenges like that?)

Hello!! 👋🏼 Nice to find you here too and congrats on 1k!! 🥳🎉🎉

I’m Francesca, an Italian artist living in London UK and I love painting portraits and very character oriented SFF illustrations

❤️ digital and oils ❤️

Sometimes you just have to paint a random lady wearing an unpractical headpiece just for yourself ya know?

This time I wanted to make smth soft. Smth where astarion smiles softly. Also wanted to get that ethereal lighting from some places in bg3 just right. It fits so well to this scene I have in my head. Them going somewhere and him wanting to hold hands. Inprnt in bio #astarion #art

Drafts accompanying strips from previous post #astarion #art

love interactions where Tav is able to break through astarion‘s facade to show him that there’s more to a deeper connection, that he isn’t just wanted for his body. Just being. like to imagine tav would give him comfort cuddles after nightmares. Like a warm waterbottle to a vampire #astarion #art

Would have loved this as an option for tav when having this dialogue. I’d imagine astarion would love to sit for a drawing session regularly haha

An image of The Sandman in a long black cloak holding a stream of sparkling sand, in front of a glowing pink doorway with stone griffin, dragon, and pegasus perched on top.

RCCC was truly wonderful, thanks to everyone who supported indie artists in one of the most vibrant artist alleys I've ever seen! Magical!

A mermaid sits on some coral in a treasure filled grotto. She reads a barnacle-encrusted book.

Rhystic Study - painted for MTG's Wilds of Eldraine. Probably my favourite painting I've ever made.

Astarion meets elvira vibes.
Love her promo shoots and wanted to draw the vibe for astarion (of course in the wavemother robe hehe).
Put way to much time into this especially the background. Actually just wanted to sketch smth but it turned into a bit more #art

My favorite couple 🫶

That scene is so headtwrenching right 😭😭😭

Another batch of astarion sketches/drafts. The emotional after ascension scene just got me.

Drew tav with less details this time and also tried in a way that isn’t too masc or fem, so that others can imagine their tav here more easily. #art #astarion
