Sounds like he sucks at direction.

sometimes my ideas are really bad, but i’m too close to them to see that. without friction or struggle, there is no art

COLLABORATION ! IS ! THE ! POINT !!!

(correction: this doesn't say anything at all in Georgian because Georgian doesn't use Cyrillic, whoops)

I mean if my choice was between collaborating with Molyneaux or AI I think I'd choose just sticking my head in a toilet and flushing.

The act of creation is so fundamental to humanity that the idea of giving up the most potent part, collaboration with others, is actually revolting to me. You should never create alone, even if you're the only one actually putting pen to canvas or fingers to keyboard. We should celebrate humanity.

It's all good! I don't expect people to know about Georgia, nevermind people from across the ocean! And I got an opportunity to show a bit of its beautiful script 😌

To clarify the thought. Spending *some of our limited time on this earth together sharing the experience of making a thing* puts such existential stakes on any creative endeavour no matter how frivolous seeming on the surface. That is what communicates to other time limited humans, it's why we care.

the guy who's idea of creative collaboration is forcing his employees to play a gacha game with his thoughts to hope the employee pulls the right one would love a machine that lets them skip anything human

It's telling that not even the boosters can call the results better. They might be faster, they definitely involve fewer humans, but it's never an improved output. I don't know why anyone should be excited for fast mediocre instead of considered quality.

So it took him three weeks to come up with the concept of mountains, girl, church, and oh the girl is starving. Easy to imagine this guy was never easy to work with. Lol. Anyway. Collaborating is one of the biggest joys of human life. A person who *wants* to get rid of that is a ghoul to me

Yeah, sounds like if he has his timeline correct he's talking about finished concept pieces, and if they're at that stage they should've been sorting all those kinds of details a lot earlier with sketches!

What isn't there makes a piece of art just as much as what is, and if you never have the experience of imagining what fills in the gaps during design, you'll never connect to where your game evokes and excites your players' imagination in doing the same.
