Suraj has a point.

Anyway I'm just going to say it outright: if you're an indie dev using AI for coding, above and beyond any other objections, what you're telling me is that you have no solidarity with anyone else in games. Not artists, not writers, not other coders. You beleive in personal convenience at all costs.

So a consequence of making a picross game is that I now have to make hundreds of pixel art pictures 😵 I've barely ever touched pixel art, but after having made a bit over 30 now I have to say I'm doing pretty good I think?!? These are some of my favorite so far! #PixelArt #GameDev #IndieDev #Picross

Made a nice little catapult system for my current game project, got some nice editor previews so you can see how and where a physics object will be flung before running the game. Also works and previews with gravity volumes which took some extra work, but is neat I think! #gamedev #indiedev

I bit the bullet and finally modeled and animated the main enemy for the portal-like game i am making with @funcmathias.bsky.social It is the first time ever i made a 3D animation and i think it came out pretty good. Let me know what you think! #indiedev #gamedev #Portal youtu.be/gFjHsTNO4Wk

Regular reminder that no wealth tax is going to stop this racist oligarch from destroying America. We must put Musk in prison for the crimes he has committed that are public knowledge—or others that have so far been hidden. The DOGE violations of federal law will be sufficient.

it's still insane to me that valve never invest in game development outside their little studio. it's straightforwardly good business to start doing dev grants, or at least lower their cut until a dev makes a million bucks or whatever. the industry is falling apart and they wouldn't feel it at all

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah. About whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Not whether some people deserve rights.

hey man we used AI in the production process of this game but don't worry none of it made it in the game, it was a huge waste of time and money, and we could've just looked at stock photos at the end of the day. You have to accept the future.

Some time ago, I decided to add my thoughts about "AI" to my site… #tech #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #LLM #GenAI #AISlop

i want smaller applications with fewer updates made by people who are paid more to produce less code and i'm not kidding

AAAA🪸LIFE BELOW IS OUT🪸🪸I HAVE SPENT 3.5 YEARS OF MY LIFE ON THIS GAME🪸PLEASE CHECK IT OUT🪸🪸🪸 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI. (Red is spending, green is revenue.) isaiprofitable.com

Very well done video about delaunay triangulation by a new creator, currently sitting at 4 views after a day, give it some deserved attention!

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

Needed a break from my big game dev project and been obsessed with Squeakross lately (@alblune.bsky.social), so I had a go at making a Picross game over the last month and it's going well! A bit different from what I usually make, so learned a few new things. #GameDev #IndieDev #Picross #Nonogram

This video kinda sucks like it's bad lighting and stuff but I just can't handle how cute this guy is. What do you mean I can cuddle in a blanket with the living beanie baby who also loves the interaction as much as me 😭😭😭 look at his boggles 🥹 I love rats man come ON

For the past 3 years I've been making yet-another™ 3D file-format, called STF. Find out why, and how it compares to glTF, FBX, and others: youtu.be/DDQjbSaDbkM #stf #stf3d #gamedev #programming #opensource #foss #interoperability #3dart #b3d #blender3d #godot #godotengine #madewithunity

Send this one to the weird bug-lovers in your life.

to make up for the lack of art have some sleeve rats

We have a new trailer!! 🙌 Just in time for #trailertuesday 😉 Could this be a teaser for something else we're preparing? 👀 Stay tuned! #indiegame #gaming #videogame #indiedev #gamedev

Made a new level of Lab Rats to introduce portals to the player. It was tricky to create something simple understandable and original without making it too similar to portal 1 and 2 but i think i did it with this design. #screenshosunday #indiedev #gamedev #Portal

My children are starving, they are mere triangles, would you be so kind to spare a few vertices for nourishment dear stranger? 🥺🙏 #lowpoly #kindness #triangle

Looks like I've made it big, my MOC got taken by a leech and sold on AliExpress lol... Guess more energy crystals isn't the worst thing, but they could have offered me a free set at least. (If this got you interested, instructions for the genuine Lego build is under the quoted post.) #Lego #MOC

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

Onu-Koro Great Mine Recent commission depicting Takua venturing into the mines of Onu-Koro. Inspired by MNOG. Had a lot of fun making this one. Especially because of the lighting scenario and how it affects the structure of the environment. #Bionicle #MNOG

A little late but here is a video showing the introductory level to our gravity panels. Pretty simple at first glance but a pain to make it work smoothly but it opens up a ton of opportunities for really cool portal puzzles and trippy platforming. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #Portal #PuzzleGames

It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke. This is not a joke. We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

Been having fun (and pain) experimenting with this project for over a year now, I understand now why there's not many portal based games. 😅 Also need to get better at actually posting about stuff I'm doing, so have a random screenshot too for #screenshotsaturday showing some laser testing.

MERRY HOLIDAY I AM SMELLING AND LOOKING AT YOU!!!

Every single person who says its a waste of energy to push back to ai are playing into the hands of the powerful who do not have best of intentions. You can be loud and say AI is BS

Just released building instructions for a x6 upscaled Energy Crystal I have been working on. Always loved the Energy Crystals so having a bigger one was long overdue! Hope someone else finds enjoyment in this as well! Link bellow this post. #Lego #MOC #RockRaiders

Made a pretty cool tool for Gmod some years ago that lets you spawn randomized props in an array, has many uses but especially great for parking lots! Check it out on the workshop if you wish: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... #Gmod #Garrysmod
