I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! ๐Ÿ’ž

my company did not lose $80bln so invest in free game assets?

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.

@kenney.nl is an amazing human being that has provided the indie scene an invaluable amount of assets without the expectation of being paid. His efforts are important in an age where developers can be un-creative and ask a machine to create for them. Remember: keep making personal, beautiful games!

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support ๐Ÿ’–

@unity.com and @epicgamesstore.bsky.social's recent push into AI is damaging to the creativity that empowers the games industry. We Indies rejects the notion that such tools and services have a place in the industry and our community at large. We hold a firm stance that AI has no place in games.

We have achieved Godot 5 internally at the Godot Foundation, but it is too powerful to be released. We need a bajillion dollars. Thanks ๐Ÿ’ธ

My friend made a cool game on a game jam and within a month a slopclone of it is on Steam. This is happening every day for indie devs and I hate it.

Sos "Buy Lazy Kickers" Sosowski@sosowski.bsky.social

Another such case. Every day, an indie game developer making something cool and sharing is getting ripped off by these clowns. Original on the left. Donโ€™t share your game - no sales Share your game - gets stolen

Hey guys, Could you help me promote the little game I'm making with my little brain without generative AI ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ

Also, if you want smart phones, buy used! Stop directly supporting multi-trillion dollar companies by keeping their slightly older stuff out of the landfill. For MOST people, tech from 5 years ago works pretty much just as good as it does today!

Kepler now bangs. Type !gh react, !yt daft punk, or !g worldcup and jump straight to where you meant to go. Less searching. More banging. Kepler, coming soon. #productivity #macOS #macapps #indiedev #builtinpublic

Testing a local AI spellcheck feature for Kepler. Runs on your Mac. Free forever. No subscription. Still early, but already feels really useful. #buildinpublic #ai #productivity #macos

A lot of people really liked the "true highlighting" I used on my personal site. So I turned it into a very customisable package for you.
