Hello new (and old) followers! I'm a brazillian gamedev working on an ARPG focused on buildcrafting that's just now getting ready to show online Until then, here's some of my previous work: www.behance.net/gallery/1001...

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

yk those designers that can't play anything without coming back with unplanned new 'ideas' for their projects? couldnt be me. btw been splaying some RO lately.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

there is no skill these people don't consider a means to an end they want the experience machine they're begging for their AI models to create it, to hook them up to the machine

I don't understand where does that specific uninformed confidence comes from with people. ever since this bs started people are always so sure things are genAI because they look genAI even when they clearly don't look anything like genAI.

My assets spotted in Nintendo Direct! 👀

Valve should lower their rev share portion to 15% for the first $1m a game earns. Not because it would would help small teams survive to make more games (it would), but because they would earn more money in the long term.

I've released an all-in-one tool that lets you extract textures from any perspective, turn them into seamless textures, and use them on your 3D models. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #itchio #indiegame

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

In the next version of the itch app you can... make your itch games show up in Steam 😅. This has been a long outstanding request that should make it easier to play your itch games without having to change apps on Steam Deck or Big Picture mode

And also to my new followers, this is the kind of stuff I've been working on lately, new NPCs for ABYSS X ZERO! Sadly a lot of it is spoiler sensitive, so there are a lot of characters I still can't show 🥲 but you can enjoy a few like this one:

trying to learn about audio equipment and intentionally looking for stores with one star reviews so i know the person at the shop is an enthusiast and not a businessperson

Arise now ye tarnished, ye dead who yet live, the call of long-lost grace speaks to us all. Men! The accursed gender!

I like streaming because sometimes I get to capture the *precise moment* something I made works for the first time

I keep harping on this but AI “writers” and “artists“ keep showing what unserious tourists they are. People who actually create agonize over adverbs and color palettes and metaphors and gesture. AI people can’t even be bothered to skim their own book once

hey, here's a fun lil proof of concept i threw together a couple months ago and never posted about. made with godot (.net) and libsm64-godot. #chess_arts

I wonder if he realizes how many of us just immediately lost interest in everything he does knowing that some or all of what we're seeing is AI-generated. It's incredibly damaging to his whole shtick and he'd be dumb as hell to not just renounce it and move on.

insane that streaming services want *you* to pay *them* so that you *can't* see shit like this at the start of your movies

have you tried Putting in the Time and Effort Needed for Your Own Hobbies®? ik the hobby, the activity no one forced you to do and is done out of the enjoyment it itself brings regardless of the quality of the little make-believe drawings involved?

something horrifying has come to me in a vision

the old ebb & flow of being stuck into draining but necessary stuff for weeks but then just stopping to go do something silly & fun because I can't force myself to look at anything boring rn I'm gonna need to get back to those save serialization issues soon, but for now...

I come back to this tumblr post again and again

Gamedev: Finally programmed the character to rotate in run direction. Let's check if it works:

over 1 year since release, 817+ hours in & today was the FIRST time I beat ED Libra through skill no Marais, no invader stack, no cheese, no team carrying me, just playing the game well and staying/keeping everyone alive FIRST time ffs whoever designed this boss should be beaten in the kness

all tech-touched industries were completely hijacked by fin-tech guys because for the few past decades they managed to convince everyone that finance and code are way more complicated than everything else in life so if they work with that they must be generalist geniuses fit to take over anything

I am not sure there is a dimmer person with more power in the games industry right now than Tim Sweeney.

Players will never understand what a triumph of the art of game development it is to get doors to do anything at all. 😲 lizengland.com/blog/the-doo...

i created this meme like 4 years ago on twitter and it went super viral and i think i got like 20 death threats. that's how you know i was cooking with this one

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

two weeks and counting trying to make my weapon/skill system realize I can't shoot arrows anymore because the bow was swapped for a dagger

"We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for" I remember what happened with Bolivia's privatized water. If you intend a utility to be privatized, prepare for a rough time.
