β’ No, everyone *isn't* using AI to do their writing for them. β’ Modernizing kids' books demonstrates massive contempt for kids. And for books. β’ He *is* an ugly fuck, and he should shut up. Have a nice day.

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

Lots of decoration changes, made some of my levels look nicer. Also got a vid of the animated stars from yesterday. Oh yeah, and the demo of this game is available on Steam right now!

My open air rooms were looking empty, so I added stars, which animate semi-randomly. I want to tweak the number/color/placement but this really helps.

even Musk's criticsβeven on the left!βrarely point out that he has committed a genocide that is expected to kill 14 million people. I think this is an oversight. I think it should be the main thing that comes up when we talk about Musk.

I have to redraw/redesign the world map because I'm dumb. Originally built all the "rooms" as squares in the map, but they're not squares in-game so everything was out of proportion. Oops. These pics are of the new/correct version

My only participation in today's discourse will be to say that if you ever say or believe unironically that it's more fun on X, you are a Nazi. That place is the Nazi bar. If you can have fun there, you are one of them. "Oh I'm having fun mocking them!" in their bar, playing by their rules.

Was reading through this again and I keep coming back to a specific point these days: You say sure, some chatbots are bad, but Claude is really good for coding! Is it good enough? Is it good enough to justify the real harms this technology is doing? Is that acceptable?

I hear critical positions towards so-called Β«artificial intelligenceΒ» nowadays framed more and more as Β«rejectionismΒ», and this is especially formulated as a critique of the left. The argument often goes something like this: Rather than seeing the potentials of AI, the left merely rejects it 1/

Alright, I've added teleporters to facilitate post-normal-ending travel. And then I immediately found a bug that crashes the game. Woohoo! Now I gotta figure out what I did wrong.

A common comment on my videos about LLM "hallucinations" is that this isn't as much of a problem because LLMs "cite their sources" now. This is a category error. Citing a source implies it was consulted. LLMs do not consult, even with RAG. A citation might be *included* but it's not *consulted*.

1000+ puzzles is too many by an order of magnitude. Unless the average solve time is 2 to 3 minutes per solve, the game will overstay its welcome before the halfway point. The Witness only had 523! Did *anyone* in 2015 say "The Witness would have been good if it was 2x as long"?

Playtesters were often confused because they began the game without the ability to jump. I've added this tiny, useless jump so players realize that they are intended to jump, but not yet. Hopefully this ends the confusion.

Working on a world map - drawing it is a bit of a pain and I feel like a lot of work will need to go into making it more legible, but at least now you're able to see where you are in relation to rooms you've explored.

lesson is make your games shorter. I started a new puzzle game a while back that I was excited for. 1000+ puzzles later and I'm still not close to done and I'm no longer excited for this game. Don't do this. Leave your players wanting more, not less.

I'm struggling with this opening room. I need the decorations (table, bed, shelves) to visually communicate that you can stand on them but also that they are not fully solid and you can walk through them. This version is a bit noisy but I hope it's better than what I had.

Bit of a technical, boring update. Changed the options menu to react to changes immediately, instead of after a "save" function. I did this because players were routinely confused by the old method, and rightly so.

There's one quote-unquote major bit of the game I need to put in, a secret area, and I'm working on it now. I need to balance it but it works for now and that's good enough for me.
