@Verakus87 @yngmisu @TimSweeneyEpic I wonder how those games got approved

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@yngmisu @TimSweeneyEpic We have the 25% cut for steam, we make a lot of money but its not enough. And this guy has the audacity to talk about 30% when none of the 30% games are on his platform.

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

If it wasnt for Valve and Steam, Hero Siege would not exist.

@ds_lily_ I can tell you exactly: "Boohoo this is a waste of time and pointless" or "I can only play 2 hours a month and cant access this content"

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@hylmew @YaBoyJeffBlue Doesnt this go with if you your self are replicating other peoples art in order to learn how to do it, wouldnt that be stealing too?

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

Just because we use AI to refine rough sketches before making the decision to use man hours to work on something as massive as these doesn't mean we use AI to generate assets for our game. Our artist Mika draws all of these by hand.

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@dragonspirgames Hell yeah, its not like using AI as a tool is gonna replace anything in our company, just make everyones work flow faster in some ways. Making games is art so you cannot do it just by using an AI, it kinda ceases to be art after that.

@BOENSAW Gaben is an absolute living god

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@YaBoyJeffBlue Yes well the art is not used in the game anyway, not even as placeholders. It is just a tool for visualizing how a final version of a sketch looks like, its not harming anyone.

@Arewell2716 He truly is 🔥

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@hylmew And it is great for that, and checking inconsistancies and errors in big lumps of code, which would take ages to do manually and still result in missing the errors

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@Lazgar_lockman Yep, bozos dont want to do the work and rise above steam.

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@Aelita_LL Valve is not a monopoly, they are just best at what they do.

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@sean_gause ????? 😂 Our game has zero AI generated asset in it

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@NilesSankey People still think that time spent means anything 🫠

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@Awk20000 Crazy how you supposedly cant even set terms for your business rofl. Also what is he saying 30%. Bigger games get a better cut, even we pay only 25%

[Panic Art Studios @panicartstudios]

@finalbossblues We are still independent after 13 years, and I hate the term. I just think of us as game developers.

@GeraltofGoonia Calling a game with over 10k peak a wet fart not knowing its in the top 100 most played games on steam is the biggest L bozo take ive read in a long time, congratulations buddy ur the real mvp.
