At the top the headline #turnbasedthursday. The background is a city in aquatic tones with magical light shining in green and pink. Three characters stand on a rooftop, looking at the city. "Players: Find your next  favorite game!" on the left, flanked by a sticker of an eye. And "Devs: Show us your projects!" flanked by a sticker of a hand pointing downward on the right.

Literally the most fun part of making #Ultakia is moving all the hundreds of technologies in a way the look nice, but still chaotic.

Sorry I think using AI for placeholders is also bad
ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

I know you only care about finished art but placeholder art also needs to be made by a human being who also needs to be paid for that

But placeholder midjourney slop cuts that artist out
