Wow, Notch giving a shoutout to the last game I was on at Lunarch is quite the honor
Thanks for playing!

art is too perfect = AI
art has mistakes = AI
i dont like the art = AI
i dont know anything about the art process = AI
looks like the art AI originally stole from in the first place = AI
Unfortunately this was always going to happen
When the art community made it their explicit goal to crucify anybody using genAI (whether or not its deserved is irrelevant here), this was bound to occur
When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail
It's not predatory because there's an overabundance of artists ready for commissioning
So in a sea of artists, if someone is willing to pay that price, then it's not predatory
The Key Art for Islands of Insight was not done in house
I actually remember physically driving to a UPS store in nowhere North Carolina to ship a USB drive with our project files because it was too big for cloud uploads.
I have no idea how much the key art costs because it was commissioned by the publishers
This is getting silly - as someone working with big artists and agencies this is how the pro market in video games and general tv/movies works:
Key art for a big IP:
US agency - 100k usd (as they attach 20 ppl outside of thr artist that they in most cases don’t even have in house)
Dedicated 2d agency that worked for RIOT (splash art) - 50k usd
Top tier artist with big social following - 10-5k usd
Top tier artists but not huge on socials - 3-5k usd
Magic The Gathering quality lvl art - 2-4k usd
Comic book cover artist - 1-3k usd (unless you are Mignola lvl)
Indie Video game illustrator not from US - 1-2k
This is for commercial work with the copyright attached - the same lvl art can be way cheaper for a indie studio or a passion project in between bigger more corporate work.
Guys, charge whatever you want for your work
The market will let you know if youre too expensive
everyone is trying to make a living and dont feel bad for doing so
Slots are open
4500 usd full illustration (1 slot)
800 usd portrait (3 slots)
[email protected] if interested.
Not ai, 100 percent human drawn art.
Post shares and engagement are appreciated
Altman says local inference is terrible because he wants to train on your IP data
Sam Altman says local inference is a terrible idea. Japanese companies did not get the memo.
A consultant in Japan says he now gets requests to deploy local LLMs almost every day.
His reason: GLM-5.3-Flash and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 hit near frontier quality.
Both are Chinese. Both are open weights. Both run on hardware a company can own.
That is what the cloud guys are scared of.
Not that local is slow.
That it got good enough.
I run both on my 4x 3090. GLM-5.3-Flash does 58 tok/s here.
Honestly, China did more for private AI in one month than the US labs did in years.

My aunt/uncle are deca-millionaires and they have nicer things like Range Rovers/Herman Miller furniture
But really, they use like Sensodyne and Old Spice

The economics behind AAA layoffs:
AAA originally meant the highest credit rating: low risk of default.
In games, the term should mean a proven, relatively low-risk investment with strong returns. FIFA, Madden and CoD fit that model.
A $400M budget doesn't make a game AAA

Godot is not a serious engine or user base.
