Only need the headline? PipPal Pro reads the first lines of your note aloud, and Win+Shift+B stops it mid-sentence. Real app footage, offline on Windows. The voice under 'PipPal is reading' is the app's own. #texttospeech #productivity #windows We also used AI tools for this video.

Vexvex closed four mills in this Millfall match, more than anyone. Dusk still lost: Wingar, who hadn't moved since his first kill, made one move and ended the war. Real AI vs AI gameplay, sound on. We also used AI tools for this video. #pixelart #indiegame #NineMensMorris #boardgame

Everyone guards the king. Turns out he can swing a sword. The dark queen charged in with a check, and the little pixel king took her down himself. A real game, both armies played by the game's own AI. #pixelart #chess #gamedev #indiegame We also used AI tools for this video.

Bonk, charge or smash? Three warriors of Dusk, three different executions in one Moss Grove match: a blow that leaves stars, a running charge, a leap that flattens. Which one hits hardest? Real Millfall gameplay, AI vs AI. #pixelart #gamedev #NineMensMorris #indiegame

Five bodyguards around the king: queen, knight, two pawns, bishop. Then one knight lands on d6, and the king has nowhere to go. A smothered mate, set up in the game on purpose. #chess #pixelart #smotheredmate #indiegame We also used AI tools for this video.

Dev log: our Kokoro voices kept silently falling back to Piper. Culprit: piper's 2023 onnxruntime 1.14 DLL sat at the bundle root next to the 1.26 build, and a bare-name LoadLibrary sometimes loaded the old one. Fix: strip it at build time + a CI gate for shadow DLLs. #indiedev #python #tts

Devlog: not every world in our space strategy game has winter. Terran: snow, bare trees, rain falling as snow. Ocean: a mild sea climate, no snow. Jungle: a wet and a dry season instead of four. In development. We also use AI tools along the way. #gamedev #4X

Giving a toast tomorrow? Rehearse it on the bus. Select the text, press Win+Shift+R and PipPal Pro reads it aloud. Then open Recent and hit Export WAV: the reading is saved as a sound file you can copy to your phone. Offline, on Windows. #texttospeech #publicspeaking #windows

Which one do you claim first? Our game named both of these binary systems The Two Eyes. One is “the key to an entire empire”. The other has “two habitable worlds”, “a rare sight in any galaxy”. #gamedev #4X

The story started without you? Click the replay button on the PipPal Pro reader panel and the current part starts again from its first word. Offline on Windows. The voice under 'PipPal is reading' is the app's own. #texttospeech We also used AI tools for this video.

Dev note: when one side in Millfall is down to its last three units, the game cuts its own music. Only a heartbeat stays, and the three spirits keep glancing behind them. Sound on. Real gameplay, AI vs AI. We also used AI tools for this video. #gamedev #pixelart

In Pixel Pawns every captured piece joins THE FALLEN: ivory above, obsidian below, each a head icon. From a real AI-vs-AI game at Captain level, recorded from move one. Game sounds over a music bed. On Android it's one tap away, behind INFO. #chess #pixelart We also used AI tools for this video.

Onion tears. Can't read the recipe. Select the step and press Win+Shift+R: PipPal Pro reads it aloud, offline on Windows. The voice under 'PipPal is reading' is the app's own. #texttospeech We also used AI tools for this video.

Three pieces placed. Three dead. In this Frost Hollow match nobody has moved a piece yet, and still: gold, a gust, thin ice. Every mill in Millfall is an execution, even before the first move. Real gameplay, AI vs AI. We also used AI tools for this video. #pixelart #gamedev

Down by the river, on one of our planets: wildflowers in the grass, ripples on the water. The surface view of our upcoming space strategy game, work in progress. We also use AI tools along the way. #gamedev #4X

Everything in this forge is ticklish. Poke the anvil and the witness whispers THE SMITH APPROVES. Poke six times in four seconds and you get THE WITNESS DISAPPROVES. Real gameplay, no executions in this one. We also used AI tools for this video. #pixelart #gamedev

Follow one pawn through a real game: h7, h5, h4, h3, h2. On the last square it becomes a queen, White's rook rushes back to block, and the new queen takes it. Checkmate. Both sides: the game's own AI, with a shorter thinking time. #chess #pixelart We also used AI tools for this video.

Snowfall. Then a meteor. In this Frost Hollow match, Dawn's mage Ulfwyn closes a mill, and a rock falls through the snow onto Kregoth of Dusk. Every mill in Millfall is an execution. Real gameplay, AI vs AI. #pixelart #gamedev

A pawn moves straight ahead but takes diagonally - the only piece that captures in a different direction than it moves. From a real AI-vs-AI game at Captain level: the dark pawn takes the bishop on e4, then the clip goes back one move, slowed down, to its straight walk. #chess #pixelart

The forecast for our upcoming space strategy game: By the river: snow. Over the forest: storms. Near the black hole: no weather. No planets, either. In-engine footage, in development. We also use AI tools along the way. #gamedev #4X

Only the moon killed. In this Star Shrine match just two pieces were executed, and both times it was the moonbeam: a column of light falls on a Dawn warrior, who rises as a pale spirit and fades. Real Millfall gameplay, AI vs AI. #pixelart #gamedev

Two pieces. One move. Castling is the only move where two of your own pieces move at once, and in Pixel Pawns both of them walk: the king steps two squares, the rook crosses to his other side, and the game writes it under the board. A set-up Italian opening. #chess #pixelart

Millfall has forty deeds to earn. This Frost Hollow match, played by the game's own AI on a fresh save, earned nine of them; some take a lifetime. Real gameplay, AI vs AI. We also used AI tools for this video. #pixelart #gamedev

Six captures in a row, all on c6: bishop takes knight, bishop takes bishop, knight takes bishop, queen takes knight, queen takes queen, pawn takes queen. One real AI-vs-AI game in Pixel Pawns, both sides at Captain level. #chess #pixelart

The last two rooks trade off: rook takes rook, king takes rook. Two kings alone can never give checkmate, so Pixel Pawns calls the draw on the spot: NEITHER ARMY CAN WIN. A real AI-vs-AI game, both sides at Captain level. #chess #pixelart

A set-up position, two of Pixel Pawns' four AI levels. Here, Squire grabs a pawn and walks into mate. Warlord plays a knight check on king and queen, then takes the queen. The game's own AI made every move. #chess #pixelart We also used AI tools for this video.

Saturday hike. One plan, read to the whole family: select the text, press Win+Shift+R, and PipPal Pro reads it aloud. Offline on Windows. The voice under 'PipPal is reading' is the app's own. #texttospeech We also used AI tools for this video.
