Press & creator kit
Logo, key art, character art, screenshots and approved copy for coverage — articles, videos, streams, thumbnails and social posts. A link back is appreciated but not required.
AI disclosure — Blade Baes is human-directed and AI-assisted. The alpha may use AI-assisted prototype and exploratory character art. Game design, mechanics, creative direction, curation and implementation are human-led, and production character art is being commissioned as the project earns further investment, starting with Ash as the art-pipeline benchmark.
