I'm developing the game Souls on the Line, a tactical spirit-summoning roguelike deckbuilder. I'm composing the music myself, and this is my first real promotional video. Open-access playtest available on Steam now! store.steampowered.com/app/5000240/...

Here's a few curators I follow. Noclip are great

It's maddening, because the curator system is actually really good when used properly. If you follow a curator their recommendations will start showing up on your homepage, and it's an excellent way to get some hand picked suggestions over algorithmic ones, but Valve lets it fester with bad actors.
i see why steam tries very very hard to hide the curator system from everyone because it gives a direct, horrifying look at the demographics actively using steam's community features

You take a game trying so hard in its era to havr an art style and feel realistic or cutting edge and reduce it to looking like a lego playset.
Gonna be fr I feel like the act of running old 3D console games at higher resolutions, whether it be in emulation, but specially on recomps, always makes them look so much cheaper

i actually think the problem is full V.O., for many many different reasons. it not only balloons production scope, but it also frequently grinds narrative pacing to a halt. especially for dialogue heavy games! if they're this skippable; many of these cutscenes could have and should have been emails.
okay i'm sorry but the 1.5x speed watching brainrot has gone too far if we're now doing playback speed for video game dialogue

I'm not being very productive, which could be due to sleep or thyroid. But what I can do is dick around on social media. So let's share again the starter packs I made of game devs who refuse to use gen AI in any capacity. Here you go: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

I really, really, really hope that something we can encourage with our library. I want a general audience to be able to tell better histories than summarizing Wikipedia and remembering a game at you
I keep clicking on video game retrospective videos thinking I'll learn something new about the development of a beloved classic but no, it's just some guy describing a game they played once I desire something greater. Tell me what coffee the devs drank. I wanna know if they used tabs or spaces

Oh wow, yeah. I've only just scratched the surface of it by End Of Starchild feels like it might be one of the coolest things ever made with the Doom engine? Fully freeware and standalone. msx.horse/eos/ All these screenshots are from the same game It's seemingly a followup to 2021's Time Tripper

I hadn't heard about this at all, absolutely gutted for the people laid off. The work put into paizo products has been stellar since I started reading post 2e.
My heart is hurting for all the Paizo employees impacted by this and a hearty middle finger to JP Morgan Chase and Diamond's continuing devastation on the printed medium's future. So many comic, game, and TTRPG companies were hit by this. paizo.com/blog/paizo-r...

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf
