Yesterday, I finally heard back from Valve: They asked for a tiny revision to the Hype Riders shop page, which is no big deal, but it means it's back in the review queue, now... I hope it doesn't take another two weeks of waitingโ€”sure feels like the queue is gunked up some, heh.

Early Access page update has been approved and is liveโ€”now I am just waiting for the app build review! And there is no particular rush, either; if I had to, I could hit the release button from my laptop, while in Taiwan. Until then I am putting together a Steam Guide, for the official user manual

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe ๐Ÿšฎ

to me the existential threat posed by AI slop games is less "AI slop games will steal our sales" and more "the onslaught of AI slop and the exhaustion over having to second guess every new game will make people mentally check out from supporting new games at all and retreat to their backlogs"

This is another reason why AI losers have gotten into retro decomp/recomp projects. Nobody wants to play AI slop games, so they have to reinforce the value of AI by producing something desirable, which in this case is just repackaging the work of actual talented people.

just wanted to share something i discovered the amount of games released in 2022 compared to this year has increased by 77%. I use 2022 because that marks the last year before AI really took over the internet whats crazy to me is that the amount of games with ZERO REVIEWS has ALMOST TRIPLED. ZERO?

A little something from my plugin Better Tile Editor: Tag tiles as water, lava or stairs by painting them, instead of clicking through the inspector one tile at a time. Pick it up on the official Godot Asset Store. #godot #gamedev

Me and the Husband KingCivet are opening for some 3D-printed Badge commissions again. You get a digital drawing, and we can ship the physical badge to anywhere in the EU and/or bring it to NFC for pickup! Regular Badge is 60 โ‚ฌ and the UV-Reactive Badge is 50 โ‚ฌ, 60โ‚ฌ double sided.

Here's a quick look at some of the options I've built for the track customization, in Hype Riders! You can now have a procedural mesh for the infinite scrolling ground... with some creative texture usage you can use it to make really fun hype train tracks!

๐ŸŽฅ No more having to guess where to put your stream elements! I added a 'Streamer Helper' to #CuttingEdgeROM. It shows a preview of what the game will look like, and can even suggest where not to put things! (Surprised more games don't have this tbh.) #indiegame #indiedev #godot

Wrote a new thing for the first time in forever! This is a guide to making multiplayer games in Godot, though mostly focused on helping you understand how it all actually works. Hopefully you find it interesting/helpful! #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine sophies.games/blogs/b4352f...

Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) โœจ Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects! kenney.itch.io/kenney-shape

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

So as it turns out, the textures are all just stored as .bmp files so I can take a good look at them pretty easily! It's an interesting style. They mostly seem to be pre-rendered with the lighting baked in but the details are fairly crisp.

its feels like a mass psychosis where tech leaders continue to insist you can be cruel, mean, and hurt the feelings of lines of code

Two weeks from now I'll be off to Taiwan, to take a break and attend Infurnity! ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ Looking forward to the trip, but it's also a harsh deadline that's approaching FAST... So I have been locked in especially hard, lately, trying to get as much done as possible, before I am off.

If development keeps going well, I might consider pushing out Hype Riders in Early Access, still before I leave... There really aren't many core features missing? Some parts are a bit rough around the edges, but it should be quite usable alreadyโ€”if I get around to write documentation, at least!

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.
