Some have asked if we could share Adrian's unedited explanation of The Indifference. Unfortunately the footage was corrupted in Amir's hack. Sorry, Tenno!

One more consideration re: cutting discs. Many public libraries offer VIDEO GAMES alongside books, movies, CDs, manga, even vinyl! No more discs cuts games out of libraries. Games want to be taken seriously as an art form and then refuse to behave like a serious art form.

Jade Shadows: Constellations adds a TON to Warframe. A personal favourite of mine is the new OLLIE Honoria! Complete Ollie's Crash Course in under 1:30 to earn the title of "Ollie's Biggest Fan" 🏁 The James & Ollie journey continues! Our third(?) update to feature new Ollie content 🏄

Really quite sad over the loss of Oliver Tree. 32 years young. His passion for storytelling via music, video, fashion was inspiring. He was known for his sillier songs, but in the middle of an album there were tracks with raw, CRYSTAL-CLEAR sincerity. Oliver was a true artist.

Recently DE made a few edits to the TennoGen Guide's "Getting Started" & "Reasons For Rejection" tabs. No real policy changes, only clarifications: best ways to contact DE regarding TG + an even more explicit denouncement of generative AI, plagiarism, copyright infringement. ✌️

Ownership:

Submissions must be wholly original.
Copyright: We cannot accept any items that infringe on the copyright of others. Taking inspiration from your favourite works is fine, but the design should wholly be yours. Yes, we have a sword with a glowing edge, but we will not have a sword that deploys with a unique hum that evokes a major space knight IP that debuted in 1977.
Existing Assets: Do not use pre-existing images or materials in your design. For example, do not incorporate things like clipart, where the content rights and licensing aren’t easy to verify. If you and / or your collaborator(s) do not own it, do not use it.
Generative AI: We do not permit AI generated submissions, nor do we allow for the use of AI-generative tools, AI retopology, etc. at any stage.
Plagiarism will result in rejection.

WILL I GET FEEDBACK ON MY ITEM?

Feedback is offered to items / artists we feel may have potential for future acceptance.

Please understand due to workloads and the volume of submissions, we cannot provide highly detailed feedback for every submission. Note that we cannot offer pre-submission feedback. Please take advantage of this web resource as guidance from DE during your design phase!

While all submissions to the Steam Workshop are reviewed by a team of DE artists, this review does not occur immediately. Expect a period of waiting before potential feedback arrives. Thank you for your patience!

If you need to contact DE about a piece after it's been submitted but before feedback has been provided, please use the "Private Developer Comments" tab on your Steam Workshop item listing. DE staff affiliated with TennoGen will be notified and may respond at their discretion when available.

As a music & games enjoyer, it's funny seeing games people have the "how to pronounce Laufey" convo like pop heads did circa 2023

Thrilled to confirm I am back hosting the Warframe Narrative Panel at TennoCon 2026! 💜 We got the green light for a second year!! I'll be joined by an all-star panel of Warframe writers & actors for a deep dive into The Old Peace, Jade Shadows, writing advice and much more!

I believe this is DE's 5th year supporting Rainbow Railroad! They're an org that helps at-risk people who are trying to escape persecution & violence. Often this includes assistance with resettlement to new, safer countries. Important work! Protect each other 🌈🛤️

Year 5 of supporting Rainbow Railroad! Neat!

Lately I feel that my (professional) purpose in life is clear: Help artists make & share their art :] I'm grateful that this is more or less what I get to do for a living!

- as a project manager i help our artists hit their goals, release, and move onto the next creation.

- as a volunteer i review grant applications for recording albums & music videos, giving notes on how to punch up the pitch.

- with TG & art commissions i want to help new artists cross over into the 'getting paid for my work' level.

- with my own writing & art, i've heard that me sharing my stuff inspired others to get to work on their passion projects.

I also saw MILE END KICKS the other day! Canadian filmmakers are on a roll. If Scott Pilgrim was 2000s indie TORONTO, this is 2010s indie MONTREAL. An accurate and hilarious time capsule! Deeply real to anyone who's played in bands OR attended friends' shows in crappy bars. This is MY Mixtape~

All I knew ahead of time was that Blue Heron has a HOUSE HIPPO reference. Legendary late 90s / early 2000s commercial in Canada. I did not expect the House Hippo scene to be one of the most clever, transformative, necessary bits of fair use I've ever seen. Its inclusion is kind of VITAL lol.

corey van den etc@coreyonline· May 13

Saw BLUE HERON last Thursday and haven't been able to stop thinking about it. A beautiful, creative, deeply personal film that blurs the line between reality and fiction. Once it clicked, it was mind blowing. My new favourite Canadian film and favourite indie / small budget / whatever

Got one of those "On This Day..." notifs! Sap incoming 9 years ago the 1st project I contributed to (copy editor) was published. Since then I've been lucky to work on and/or write for... Jeopardy, Wild Words, Armory & Machine, Warframe, plus my own self published light novel :)

Where to get Dot Monster ReVolution Digital: Kindle, Kobo, Indigo. Paperback edition (my preferred choice) is on Amazon. Easily searchable on Google / the platform of your choice DotMon is a love letter to monster tamer anime & games of the late 90s early 2000s. Sequel in the works!

Feeling great about CANADIAN ART right now. We're having a HERITAGE MINUTE out here. Good Kid is popping off. CDN films like Nirvanna The Band, Blue Heron, A Tribe Called Love are making waves. Warframe rules. I'm writing more myself teehee. ART RULES !!!

I'm so thrilled that I get to work on Warframe, this organic, multimedia sci-fi epic. Like yes it's a game but also, it's animation! It's music! It's got comics! Vast, evolving, multi-disciplinary Canadian-made fiction. And I work on it every day~
