this is so fucking pathetic.

everyone should watch this. nothing that works this way is conscious.

i've been playing around with making an old school roguelike the last few weeks and i think i've made the combat complicated enough that i may need unit tests and MAN do i not want to do that :( :( :(

NEW ARTICLE NEW ARTICLE NEW ARTICLE! Emotions are the basic and most important part of human function, as essential as protein. So why is it that so many game designers don't design for emotion? featuring Dark Cloud and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth! docseuss.medium.com/its-not-enou...

My project manager saved 90 seconds of their day today by using AI to write my jira ticket. I then spent 6 hours working on the ticket before another manager pointed out that the ticket was wrong and all my work needed to be scrapped. Yeah man, this is the future!

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

fixing a bug and getting to close 35 tabs is just the best

oh my god

just got banned from r/playMyGame for refusing to stop calling ai games slop. hell to the yeah.

Now that the Alchemic Beasts demo has been out for a week, who did you choose as your starter? If you haven't played yet, which one would you pick based on looks alone? Let us know in the comments! Alchemic Beasts is Live on Kickstarter! kck.st/4f2xpWg

Hey, so, I was so angry today that, for once, I blogged it instead of posting about it. Games media, especially mainstream games media, cannot keep abdicating responsibility in how it talks about these things an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/video-game-s...

As part of the Nonbinary Coded Games event on Steam, "Purgatory Dungeoneer", "Damien Crawford's Golf Experience 2024", and "It's Six Random Characters and a Single Floor Dungeon, That's the Whole Game" are on sale so please check them out! store.steampowered.com/search/?hwty...

Getting eyeballs on my YouTube channel is a bit of a struggle I've found, and I think I've narrowed the problem down to only extremely cool people have been reposting my YouTube videos. It's just been super cool, attractive, clever people, they're the only ones reposting my stuff. 🤠

imagine if they fired every band member every time an album came out

Oh, you've made a video game? And you want people to play it? Well, let's talk about how to do that better. How, exactly, can you make sure people care about your game and want to tell other people about it? Check it out here: docseuss.medium.com/its-not-enou...

it is cool that maga guys won and live in the ruins of their victory, total control of government and legal system, entire wings of power bending to their will despite their galactic unpopularity and yet they aren't allowed to enjoy any movie. they have to be mad at all the movies. heartbreaking

oh my god just stop you absolute babies I wanted France to lose today because it would have been very funny but I have been negatively polarized against Paraguay this is ridiculous

Kinda surprised I don't see more people talking about Abiotic Factor. Just one of the best co op games I've played. Has just a disgusting amount of content.

The world cup rules holy shit

If you're looking for games with wild titles and/or concerningly large casts of characters and/or games that push what RPG Maker can do (like first person 3d golf) then you're in luck, as all my stuff on itchio's in the summer sale for 50% off itch.io/s/188954/sum...

You can tell how AI is going in general with how all these places refuse to let you disable it. If it was a good product making money they wouldn't care. They're trying to get you dependent on it so they can turn around and sell you tokens Feel we're so close to them pulling back on the slop a bit

Why would you pay $80 for GTA VI and get one game when you could buy UFO 50 for $25 and get fifty games

Idk. People may argue over the price, but I just can't get over 1-2 billion bucks to make a 'being a piece of shit in FLORIDA' simulator?' Idk man.. is this the best we can do? Everything we can do in an infinite virtual space, and the largest budget goes to... that.

every time you see a headline that begins with “we have to,” replace the “we” with “you” and you’ll immediately understand the purpose of the piece and the power dynamics at play

Hey folks, my new video is live now! And if you were watching live, is secretly a TOP 13 video! I cheated. It's by far my biggest one yet, and I'm really proud of this one, so please do share it around and leave a comment on the vid if you don't mind, it really helps and I love to read 'em! 💜

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10% productivity gain. Ben fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000% productivity gain..."

With the newly released AI warning for Steam v1.1.0 you can turn the AI disclosure on Steam store pages into an unmissable popup and blur or hide games with an AI disclosure in the search results! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa... addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo... chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-wa...

decided to go with a skill tree as a way to pick rewards between maps instead of just picking 1 from a random selection of 3. i still gotta make it look.... uh.... not like that, but it works! #ScreenshotSaturday #Godot #indieDev

Just grabbed this. I've only listened to a third of them so far but man these rule. 10/10

indie dev who heroically does not play or study games so as to maintain their pure creativity: "once you complete the procedurally generated level you pick between one of three upgrades"

The thing about discussions of increasing the price of games to make dev more sustainable is that we still are getting quarter after quarter of record profits from major publishers so idk seems like the layoffs have very little to do with AAA pricing and a lot to do with business strategy

Hey folks, I'd like to make one more big push on my new video, I put a lot of work into it and I'm extremely proud, but it's really not getting the views I'd hoped for, so if you could please check it out, and very kindly share it around, I'd seriously appreciate it.

if I seem militant about AI it's because a lot of my friends are writers, concept artists, QA people, etc, and they are the ones who are currently having their careers obliterated by that shit. not speculatively. happening right now. I don't see a need to be soft towards ppl who shrug at that
