Are you looking for games from the heart where no AI is used this next fest? Hereβs Alpine Lake, a cozy innkeeper RPG. I love working on it at a manageable pace with traditional tools. I have immense respect for the craft and I wouldnβt trade the journey for anything.

Travis Knightβs WILDWOOD is such an astounding achievement in stop-motion that even if the story sucked, it would be a βmust see.β But the story is wonderful (if a little archetypal), so the effort it took to produce this masterpiece was wholly justified. My review is at @thewrap.com!

Hoping bsky won't slaughter the fine detail in this image, but I now have a full 3d-to-separated halftone layers stylization running in-game: this is a 3d scene where distinct objects are stylized in screen space w/ different halftone patterns. Full lighting is running, so the torch flickers etc.
