HORRDEV

If you use ai generators, I hate you.

Ballroom theme I am currently composing and working on for my episodic horror short game: ABUNDANCE, going all Basil Poledouris style :P : #indiedev #gamedev #gamemusic #indiemusic #indiehorrorgames #solodev #indiegamefeed

Did you know there is a "godotsize" plugin for Godot? Incredibly valuable when coming from Unity Editor Logs or Unreal SizeMap. No more need to build first and inspect pack files via 3rd party viewers for rough file size estimations: github.com/snibk/godots... #godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #addons

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

You do not need AI to protoype anything in video games. You do not need AI for placeholders in video games. This is a flat lie.

Seldom is it talked about how to make level scripting feel more lively and organic instead of focusing on logic or spatial theory. Some golden tips for any level designer or solo dev working on narrative exploration games: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwZz... #indiedev #gamedev #leveldesign #scripting

Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...

END OF AN ERA: Google's classic Search button is gone in a new AI-first homepage More users are being pushed to AI-first search, with sites that create content seeing a rapid decline in traffic. No better time to move away from Google.

Marmoset dropped a new update, and it's spectacular! marmoset.co/posts/marmos... #3dart #indiedev #gamedev #texturing #rendering #realtime

Funny how the Godot Asset Store is just in beta and already has a better UX than Unreal's Marketplace :D #godot #indiedev #gamedev #unreal #marketplace

should you use AI? Here's a simple flow chart Should I use AI? ----> No

"But guys I only used a LITTLE AI" Ok, so don't use it! "But guys I changed all the AI stuff to be human made!" Then you didn't need AI. "But guys, my team is too small!" Learn a new skill or make a different idea. There is no acceptable excuse. I'm done giving a shit.

Happy Wednesday....

Silicon Valley continues to infest governments to intercept money meant for science and education and steering it to AI: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/22/u... #ai #trump #openai #anthropic #fascism

It is time to lay down the fing "it is nuanced" crap. They destroyed the internet, and now they are destroying the physical world's cognitive resources. This is beyond unacceptable: www.ibtimes.co.uk/ai-companies... #ai #fascism #thirdreich #nvidia #anthropic #openai #claude

AI companies now practicing what is essentially the modern equivalent of book burning on a global scale. Beyond unacceptable. We should be very alarmed and fight back any way we can. Please spread the awareness: www.ibtimes.co.uk/ai-companies... #ai #nvidia #anthropic #openai #claude #thirdreich

I say no to all gen-ai in games, including if it's "just code" Coding IS an artform, it may not be as directly visible as artwork but it's no less deserving of respect for being responsible for the functionality of every game out there without solid coding all your fave games would be dogshit

"I used AI to-" Then you aren't an artist. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a writer. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a coder. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a game dev. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a poet. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a filmmaker. "I used AI to-" Then you aren't a teacher.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Taking a stance, as it should be. As a Unity veteran who moved to Unreal briefly, then finally took the leap to switch to Godot, besides being totally amazed by the engine, it feels great to read this: godotengine.org/article/cont... #ai #godot #llms #aicode #gamedev #genai #aislop

I got drawn by one of my favorite artists on Cara! What a surprise. Feels weird, and cool. Like the rest of his work, I think this is a very stylish interpretation, nailed likeness, and feels full of life as usual: cara.app/post/a72e3cb...

No truer words spoken about the imperialistic push of LLMs into the education system: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFp5... #ai #teched #education #bookburning #openai #anthropic #movefastandbreakthings #chatgpt

A sociological top down view that emphasizes the horrors behind contemporary tech developments, showing eerie parallels to former time periods (Don't mind the ai gen'd cover and imagery which certainly one could have done without): www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNiS... #ai #openai #anthropic #spacex

Rewatching Lost Highway made me realize that under the right lighting conditions, Bill Pullman kinda looks like Trent Reznor (Fantastic Lighting in this film): #losthighway #davidlynch #billpullman #trentreznor #movies

Kuon (PS2) is an absolute gem of a horror game every horror game fan should be giving a whirl. It is FromSoft's first game. Graphically beautiful, on par with Team Silent's 4 Silent Hill games. Get a Rom and fire it up on PCSX2! Plays like a dream: #ps2 #fromsoftware #survivalhorror #horrorgames

Never ceases to amaze me what a Normal bake can do: #3dmodeling #gamedev #retopology #indiedev #3dart

I think this solo dev is making one of the most interesting looking Survival Horror games, aiming for a Kuon meets Silent Hill 4 aesthetic: www.youtube.com/shorts/-ev_G... #games #horrogames #horror #videogames #indiegames #indiedev #indiegamefeed

3D Coat Retopology is I N S A N E ! #3dmodeling #retopology #gamedev #indiedev #3dart

Freaking ridiculous. They are trying to fool consumers into thinking that AI generated imagery would be actually integer to use as concepts for 3d graphics, as long as a real artist "traces over it" or redraws the slop afterwards. What's the freaking point of this? #ai #gamedev #genai #aislop

Did you know the Trump admin and it's Gestapo are making exceptions for white refugees, welcoming them, while refusing, hunting and torturing others that are not white supremacy compatible?: www.politico.com/news/2025/05... #trump #immigration #ice #eugenics

Decided to pull out an important part of the interview. Generative AI is often justified with comparisons to the cost of Amazon Web Services ($57bn) or Uber's ($32bn) in losses, when its costs and losses are hundreds of billions of dollars worse. And there's no post-bubble redemption story.

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/
