Today's print design take: 5 different posters, designed and ordered, one ARC first chapter of Alyte Online along with a lore sample and an intro letter from Alyte done and designed. Bookmarks, invitations, stickers - all at the print shop.
Not to mention rounds of edits and polish on an epic first ARC chapter for the Novella, ready for LibertyCon in Chattanooga as part of my "AI as a Creative Amplifier" workshop in two weeks. Plus an entirely new album, two unreleased singles I'm getting ready to drop, interactive website lore, video content, all of it.
Music, lore, fiction, visuals, storytelling - all coming together for an IP launch that will be unlike anything you've ever seen in either the author or AI space right now.
Kickstarter drops next week!
No more playing around, friends. I'm building something special in territory that nobody has touched, and I can't wait to share it with you.
If you're heading to @LibertyConTN you are in for a real treat. My workshop is Friday, June 26th, at 1pm in the Convention Center Meeting Room #3.
Don't miss out!

We are so excited to announce that the @promise_ai StudioΒ Open Submission Portal is now live in the Curious Refuge student portal.
This new initiative is for independent storytellers and creators (like you) who are ready to share their film or series ideas for potential development. No gatekeepers. No awkward networking. Just your idea and a real pipeline to potential creation.
For this first window, we're looking for original concepts for an Adult Animated Comedy Series. Review our pitching checklist, get your concept ready, and submit before July 10th.
Head over to portal.curiousrefuge.com to read the full details and submit your idea today.

Far future idea. After playing way too much fallout 3 I wanted to see what I can do with this idea. Maybe a 5 episode run.

I'm making use cases for all the platforms I'm involved with. Of course, making video so I can string together a plot is always prime but also want to use it to promote the work I'm already doing. I'll be posting on other platforms this poster for Detective Banana

Ive got 3 other use cases already in motion on the platform. So far out of what Ive used it's the most fluid canvas tool to agent and back. It's got pieces of ways of doing things I like from several platforms but in one place. In other cases, Id use the tool set til I need to ideate then use the agent til I get back to needing tools and do it more manually. Solid platform.

I don't have nearly the experience in film as this person does in game dev but there's so many similarities to making movies.

I've spent decades making and overseeing the creation of game art. Concept artists have been photo-bashing (stealing other artists' art and mixing it into their own) for as long as I can remember. This is worse than what AI does.
I spent a lot of time refining processes toward optimal efficiency. I got so good at it that it became boring. My teams and I never worked more than eight hours a day (unless I wanted to), never "crunched," and were always on time and on budget.
If a game production isn't using AI, it's malpractice and an abuse of investor funding. Efficiency gives you more time for creativity and sustainability. Wasting effort on labor for the sake of "artistic integrity" will help the game fail and get your team laid off.

Being an independent filmmaker in 2026 is as easy as riding a bike except the bike is on fire and you are on fire and for some reason everything around you is on fire.
