大変もうしわけございませんが、現在AIのテビくんの調子が悪いようです。復帰するのに数時間かかる予定です。
We are very sorry, but our AI, Debi-kun, is not feeling very well at the moment. We are working hard to heal them back to full health, but it will take a few hours.

Tried it with the infamous Marble Arch Mound and somehow the reality still looks worse

At last an AI tool I can get behind

“Upload an architectural render. Get back what it'll actually look like on a random Tuesday in November.”

明けましておめでとうございます！ いただいたフィードバックを元に、正式リリースに向けて今年も開発を頑張ります。

うますぎワロタwwww

[Playfool @studioplayfool]

some more impressive pro-gamer strategies from jp streamers! can you guess what these are?

[Playfool @studioplayfool]

endlessly impressed by creativity of japanese streamers. For the prompt "beer" (ビール) they drew a building (ビル) and added an arrow to elongate the middle so ビル becomes ビール. Genius!

[Playfool @studioplayfool]

Deviation Game is still 10% off until 27th December!

最大同時接続数を更新しました！サーバーの増強でなんとか持ち堪えていますが、不安定な挙動があったら申し訳ありません！！

We’ve set a new record for maximum concurrent connections! We’re holding up thanks to server upgrades, but we apologize in advance if you notice any instability

[Playfool @studioplayfool]

Crazy to see the old version of the game from 2 years back. Core mechanics were roughly the same but it looks so jank! And it only needed to exist as one local instance we could fix on the fly. Of course the trench between exhibition demo and full game was larger than it seemed…

DEVIATION GAME: A Pictionary-like game in which humans must outdraw a cutting-edge AI 🤖✏️💬

See how visitors fared at our demo during this years @ArsElectronica Festival (spoilers: they lost, a lot)
