This industry needs an answer

I've been toying with combat menu layouts the last couple of days to make the deck system less confusing. Which do you like? If you could explain why you like the one you do, that'd be helpful, though not a requirement by any means 🙇‍♂️ #GameDev #IndieGameDev

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary. We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff. Skill issue.

Ooooh nice! Checking it out this weekend
