I've been working hard on my mecha game for 1.5yrs as the programmer & team lead, alongside 3 composers and 25 excellent artists (the emblem project is so ridiculously ambitious)!! It's probably going to be another 1.5yrs before release, but I am SO proud of all the work everyone has done thus far!
Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made
I need to EXTREMELY STRONGLY recommend you watch this. Honestly, I was so moved as an artist by the immense lifeforce that Jerry's poured into this map that it brought me to tears multiple times & I had to pause & return to it later. Such a beautiful, living work of art. The tree analogy was lovely.
New devlog update! I keep forgetting to post about these over here after uploading the vid haha. It might be a while 'til my next update, because I'm finally going to start working on level generation! youtu.be/8RnxPEwaHL4?...

Hello everyone! Development on SCORCHED EARTH slowly continues, and I have a demo on steam now! RE9 coming out has slowed development lately๐คญ
My game, SCORCHED EARTH, is inspired by the armored core series! youtube.com/@scrawl_stud...
I've had my nose to the grindstone dotting my Is and crossing my Ts to start pitching to publishers! I'm super happy with how the game (and team) has come together! 2 weeks ago, I put up a unadorned gameplay video to show publishers what the game looks like, and it got a lot of attention! Wooooo!!!!
No video update this month, but I finally added a logo and music to SCORCHED EARTH!!! Sooo happy with the work my composer's been doing :)!! scrawl.itch.io/scorched-earth
PHEW! This update's a doozy!!! Completely remade some missions, added a progression system and DEBTOR'S HELL, and rebalanced too many things to count! I really hope y'all enjoy this, and happy holidays :)!!!!!
It's that time again! Made some nice progress with animations, optimizing enemy pathfinding, aesthetic polish, new parts, etc. All little things, but they matter! Big thanks to @synthgal.bsky.social for the lovely new music in this video! (I'll add in-game music when I have more track variety.)

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...
Here comes another update!!! Took me a while 'cus I struggle eith level design, but I finally finished adding 2 BIG new missions involving a massive fortress level and armies of enemies fighting eachother!! Shoutout to @b0tster.yeag.gay whose reskeet of my previous post brought attention to it :)
Yo @wooliewoolz.bsky.social since you hinted at maybe having another mechweek, I wanted to let you know that DuckStation is my PS1 emulator of choice (and the Front Mission 3 remake is bad, so I recommend emulating the original instead). PCSX2 is also excellent for PS2 games!
(Oops I forgot to say this sooner -) I've made a ton of progress on my game :D!!! Environments are textured, and there's a decent amount of missions! Next up: the final super-mission, which you can approach from many different angles (each with their own unique objective)! youtu.be/JJWQAxyjkQU?...

AI is killing the games industry. Don't use it, don't accept it, push back against it wherever you can, because this tech is cannibalizing everything you care about, even if you don't know it, it's poisoning something right now that you'll feel the impact of further down the line.
