#pitchyagame a one and a half minute visual novel about angst interspersed with two hours of annoying platforming. i made the art really charming as an apology.

someone did an AI slop port of Merpworld for android. it's alright. i mostly feel sad because: - google deactivated my account for not updating satryn enough. (i was making merpworld.) - a phone port would be sick but i need a publisher or a mx. money bags because i'm trying to make maybell 3.

merp is now an AI slop game without my consent. it even says the proud "no AI was used" in the credits of the AI slop port. how can anyone trust video games that came from the internet ever again? deeply in my heart i think you're a traitor if you use generative tools.

this game is going to be so, so good. it got me bugging ellie with so much feedback like an annoying gamer already 🥺 i think that's a really good sign.

'You'll choke too' - I wanted to reshare my wildfire aerial embroidery now summer is finally over as it really meant a lot to me. Autumn is here but as the fruit ripened much earlier than normal, I worry the little birds and animals won't have enough for the winter...

this labor day, don't be a class traitor.

we are surrendering our ability to think and create to a handful of extremely dangerous people. using AI is either anti-labor or slavery depending on how much you believe the illusion of intelligence: it can never be ethical until EVERY model is open sourced, or UBI is achieved.

i can't wait for people to play this, the combat is REALLY smooth, it feels like a dream after playing a bunch of mistria.

Big update! Most changes might not be immediately obvious, but I think they're pretty impactful. Can you spot them all? (if you feel like cheating, I've listed them on my patreon blog at patreon.com/elliesprites, which you can read for free!)

And you know, I eat meat, I consume plastics, I am not free of sin, but chemical engineers working for dupont are not ceaselessly whining on social media about how little respect they get.

Especially considering the ai goldrush made buying new computers horribly unaffordable, optimization is more relevant than ever. The better your software runs on low-spec devices, the more accessible it is to low-income ppl.

all it takes to starve a corpo is to not use it. bsky is getting worse every day but we can migrate anywhere. we are surrendering global communication and all of space to neo nazi prime.

one hit of the inflated AI likes and suddenly everyone needs the white supremacy website and can't fathom an alternative. y'all were supposed to delete your twitter accounts so your weak asses couldn't go back.

anyways, the ceiling for the world record is now officially human fatigue. satryn has been solved. that is incredible and also makes me feel really bad for anyone who attempts to dethrone this score. 🫰😔

i'm sorry i wasted 10 bottles of water arguing with an AI generated man

Your brain has clearly been fried by not using AI. The models are quite good at picking up background social practices and patterns that the raw contextless words on their own don't always make clear.

rendering devs are always chasing the latest sebastian lague video to make tech demos on their 6090s, completely disregarding support for battle-tested technology that can run on anyone's machine. i understand it's boring, that's why i'm a game dev, not an engine dev. it sucks to be responsible.

if i want metallic surfaces to appear shiny, i need a cubemap, which bevy can do for me. i am using the piss skybox to test with right now; you can see it is influencing the shadow color as well as enabling reflections. why is an engine assuming the color of the shadow? because it's more realistic?

And with that I am officially announcing that I am open for soundtrack work! I can do NES inspired sounds like this, something more modern but still electronic sounding, something with actual acoustic and/or electric instruments or pretty much anything in between!
