FriendShapes, my jumpscareless Existential Horror Game involving lots of weird stuff, RNG areas and a bunch of Entities you Interact with (instead of fight) is on Steam with achievements and everything - please give it a look if it sounds like your vibe 🙌 store.steampowered.com/app/3475600/...

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

Writing has slowed down as there's a lot I simply haven't planned properly - but I've also started working on a side thing of making custom Vampire Survivors characters from Era's End Entities, LISA: The Downcast, EnHanced, FriendShapes and some Starfinder characters we made a while ago 🦇

Started dragging myself to start working on the game again and I've been managing something like 1-3k words of the first draft on most days, there's a lot of holes but I can fill those in later, it's very character driven so there's a lot to figure out, but it's slowly moving 🙏

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

As you know, the typical videogame has no lighting. It's just the same NPC in different shirts T-posing in complete darkness.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I could not be happier with how it turned out...feeling Big Feelings seeing it on my desk after all this time. And it's only one (the chunkiest) of 3 books I'm debuting at the expo this year

I wanted to take this time to share my appreciation for the great Maddie Blaustein, yesterday was her Birthday and she would've turned 66. If you didn't know, Maddie Blaustein was a intersex trans voice actress and she's best remembered as the voice of Meowth In Pokémon. (4Kids) 🏳️‍⚧️🧵 #maddieblaustein

I hope everyone gets a chance to play Anthology of a Killer. Every time i think about this game it makes me want to strive to make something so incredibly charming and funny.

Oh this absolutely sucks. I will not be using this, and I hope no one else does either. Gen Ai doesn't belong in game dev (or anywhere as a matter of fact!)

Dan Marshall@danthat.bsky.social

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

Branomander spoiling the last season of The Boys in a recent video prompted me to catch up with it and I thought it was real good, though moving on to start watching Only Fools And Horses is some very big contrast 👀💭

The furry fandom has been a really welcoming space towards queers & neurodivergent people alike Just because they're a bit weird doesn't mean they deserve to be censored to death Even when furries are more known now, there's still misconceptions that others still believe, especially right wingers

𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗔@behemow.bsky.social

In regard to FurAffinity being at risk due to censorship: Furries are now political targets. We are getting namedropped at high levels of government. They know that we are a large, influential, largely queer, community. Fighting for the spaces owned by our community is incredibly important

i'm so obsessed with the beta footage for the shrek xbox game, like it's just completely silent aside from occasional shrek noises and his stupid jumping sound just being one of them but with reverb lmao 😭

Hey folks, I'm going to try and fit this into my schedule, but maybe don't wait for me? It's currently 40% off and although I can't vouch for it yet myself, I've heard nothing but glowing things from people whose opinions I trust and value. Go take a look.

goba (ACT 2 out NOW!)@gobadev.bsky.social

Carter's Quest pretty apocalyptically failed to catch an audience, even with Act 1, and I really do have to wonder what more people could have asked for. It stands in opposition to basically everything people complain about in games, indie and otherwise. It's for so many more people than ever saw it

REAL WEB LEGENDS: Carter's Quest Act 2 is NOW AVAILABLE!! My solo action-adventure game inspired by Zelda, DMC, and Bayonetta just got bigger. A FREE update to Carter's Quest, adding a whole new chapter to the story, massive graphical updates, and more. Available on Steam now!

Finished watching through SH: Ascension at last - I had to take a break and watch most of Davis Morgan's videos before seeing the last two hours and wow it's really really bad I still rate it higher than f but in a Freezing Might Be Slightly Better Than Burning To Death kind of way 💭

This is a piece of advice I always give when I consult: you need someone to have final say. Even in a co-op, even in a group of peers. There needs to be someone who can say “okay, we are implementing this” someone has to take on responsibility for the decisions

no game dev skill is more important than making up your fuckin mind
