Forgot to mention it on here, but I was laid off recently and am currently looking for new animation opportunities; games, shows or otherwise. Invincible VS was a fun project, it's a total delight to work on a fighting game! Attached a reel of a few anims I did for it:

This is another reason why AI losers have gotten into retro decomp/recomp projects. Nobody wants to play AI slop games, so they have to reinforce the value of AI by producing something desirable, which in this case is just repackaging the work of actual talented people.

just wanted to share something i discovered the amount of games released in 2022 compared to this year has increased by 77%. I use 2022 because that marks the last year before AI really took over the internet whats crazy to me is that the amount of games with ZERO REVIEWS has ALMOST TRIPLED. ZERO?

Insanely depressing watching AI code plant tons of distrust and indifference towards any modding, recomp, decomp, etc projects in the span of a week. Also shows how many people viewed these efforts not as a craft in themselves, but being in the way of the end result.

I can tell you anytime I’ve played mods like Smash Remix, Super MarioMon, or Dark Souls 3 Convergence, I spent the entire time impressed by every tiny little change and how they could even pull it off. They aren’t just things that should exist faster because I want more toys to play for 5 minutes.
