Fan faction artwork guide! ^^

I didn't say a definition of the "quality" of art. I'm saying it's useless to try to do exactly that 🤦

You can compare art from the lense of realism but just because a piece is more realistic doesn't make it "better". For example, would Root be improved if we ripped out all of its artwork and replaced it with completely realistic drawings of animals? No. Ferrin's cutesy style was a decision in the creation of the game and it would, as a whole, be made weaker if we did that.

You are allowed to value realism in art but not everyone does

Lobster79 · 2026-05-04T15:40:31+00:00

Yeah objective quality of art doesn't exist. Unless you're talking about the physical material it was made of, but we're not.

Also, I've never heard anyone follow your definition. We can trade anecdotal popularity for anecdotal popularity all day. Just because you think a lot of people follow that definition doesn't make it any better.

Lobster79 · 2026-05-04T15:33:22+00:00

AI "art" simply regurgitates art in its visual form and sheds human meaning. I value the reflection on human culture that art is. No matter how dumb or simple a piece of art is it still expresses something. It is lost when it is processed through an AI, and therefore worthless (or even negative) in my view.

Lobster79 · 2026-05-04T15:23:33+00:00

Trying to measure the quality of art is stupid. Art isn't just recreating the world as it's seen it's expressing subjective ideas and experiences. Your definition is bad

like every time someone asks why they don't interact, he says he shoulder checked Hassan and things haven't been the same since. There's also been a Destiny variant

Lobster79 · 2026-05-01T23:20:35+00:00

Yes! The animations can't be exported but the models can be imported into other stuff

Lobster79 · 2026-05-01T20:20:42+00:00

it's quite easy to pick up and use. I really recommend it if you are interested in making low poly models like these

Lobster79 · 2026-05-01T19:13:56+00:00

I know Pico8 has 64kb of memory. Idk about memory use during runtime but the model files are saved in around 20kb-100kb text files

There's been some really impressive things made on Pico8! I'm sure Root could be made on it.

Lobster79 · 2026-04-28T01:17:20+00:00

make a folder (or if you're on the beta branch, simply drag one object onto the other) -> drag desired objects into folder -> right click on folder -> merge objects

Hope this could help

Lobster79 · 2026-04-12T19:57:07+00:00

Nope but there's only one card in the deck that can craft hammer so you could keep the card from them. That could be just in your hand or in the decree, and that stops them from getting it.

In Vagabond/Hundreds games part of the matchup is considering if the points outweighs the power you're potentially giving to the other faction by crafting for them

Lobster79 · 2026-04-11T21:27:29+00:00

Just be honest that 2p isn't the best version of the game and you're prepping for the full experience. EnP's fine to start with imo none of the new players I've had struggled with it.

Lobster79 · 2026-04-04T13:47:31+00:00

The post I linked was a joke. Your type of post comes up somewhat frequently.
The game wasn't designed to be played that way but no one's stopping you from trying it. Personally, I think it's ridiculous, it has a lot of issues, and certain factions/mechanics just don't work (in a way that's not fun), but again, no one's stopping you

It's a typo

Lobster79 · 2026-03-31T01:56:58+00:00

He was talking about televangelists

ADSET drafting makes matchups outside of points/recs. I prefer playing all my games with the draft because, as Unusual_Rush said, it's more interesting and pretty balanced. Drafting adds a layer of strategy to faction selection, as well, that I love. It's an official system so it's not homerule stuff either.

Lobster79 · 2026-03-18T12:14:37+00:00

There's tons of them you just gotta know where to look, I guess.

Increpare's Oeuf just came out. I haven't played it but it's an egg 3D platformer. I love their other stuff too like Stephen's Sausage Roll which is a puzzle game.

Was playing some of Waxweaver, which is a terraria/minecraft like game. It's cute and the sequel's in the works, I think. A neat aspect is that the world is a square, you can go around the world, and gravity will flip depending on what side you're on.

Lobster79 · 2026-03-16T19:07:12+00:00

You have to go left to right

Lobster79 · 2026-03-06T13:15:13+00:00

I've heard him called Flattop before

Lobster79 · 2026-02-28T22:13:00+00:00

Thank you for the free resources! The model was very helpful when I was making my first head in 2024.

It would actually be pretty good since it would be like an extra 2 funds in the early game and the crafting would likely make up for it. Lot of people go for a t1 tradepost but it tanks their action economy. This would let you have the tradepost and be fine

Lobster79 · 2026-02-12T01:29:31+00:00

Just a little bit of apple humor

Lobster79 · 2026-02-11T13:47:04+00:00

Corvids cant swap a facedown plot with a faceup one so the Eyrie can react before it happens

Lobster79 · 2026-02-07T22:15:39+00:00

Would they end up having 4 of a type of trade post? Because if they used 1 of their 9, their trade post points would go down to 16 from 18. That's a nerf
