i was worried that the anti-capitalist message behind Super Debt would be too divisive when i first announced it, but i've gotten more complaints about how the main character of the game is a woman lol

happy trans visibility day to all who celebrate Garbanzo loves you

almost 1/3 the way towards the goal! :D

just backed this! zagawee rules and Garbanzo Quest was great, so I'm sure this is going to be too! very pumped to see this campaign doing so well already

You should absolutely go pledge to this!! This game looks great

Back the kickstarter campaign for @zachisagardner.bsky.social’s new game! And play Garbanzo Quest if you haven’t already! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sup...

just one hour in and we've already hit the $1,000! wow wow wow!

This game is being developed by @zachisagardner.bsky.social, who made the excellent and overlooked Garbanzo Quest! Check the Kickstarter out and share it! I just backed SUPER DEBT! - The Roguelike where EVERYTHING COSTS MONEY! on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sup...

You probably played Garbanzo Quest from @zachisagardner.bsky.social at a previous #ROCGameFest event, but now he’s back with his next game, Super Debt, and you can back it on Kickstarter right now!

Support the Super Debt Kickstarter TODAY!

the Super Debt Kickstarter is launching TOMORROW!

why didn't we all go to mastodon?

every day i feel more justified in my hatred of AI. i've had a deep interest and love for technology my whole life, but lately i don't think i've ever felt more cynical about it

I hate this idea that gen ai in the early stages of development is okay as long as there isn't gen AI assets in the final game. Everything in early development informs the final game. I don't want this to become the norm 🫩

all programming languages are the same. except for C++ that one's different

yipee! :D

Circle the Sinner weapon showcase! #gamedev #pixelart

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

here's an evolution of the music i made for Super Debt! #gamedev #pixelart

i made Circle the Sinner look cooler. i also greatly buffed its braking speed, so it should be easier to use #gamedev #pixelart

shit

listen to me rant about FL Studio #gamedev #pixelart

you could be the 300th follower on my kickstarter campaign! it could Be YOU!

rest in piss

🚨 SUPER DEBT will be launching on Kickstarter! 🚨 March 31st I'll be finally launching the Kickstarter campaign (for real this time)! 💸 Please follow the campaign to be notified when it launches! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sup...

I genuinely love whenever @zachisagardner.bsky.social puts out a new video, but this one is really good! It's always nice to see how someone approaches game dev but on youtube there's a lot of people that haven't finished a game and there's a big pocket of blindspots to them, so this rocks!

you wanna know more about how I make my silly little video games?? i have Just The Thing for YOU! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqwG...

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

Thank you all for a wonderful launch day yesterday! We've enjoyed seeing your first impressions of the game and it's been wonderful to see such glowing reception. If you haven't already, consider wishlisting the game, purchasing, or leaving a review! Every bit helps

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

🚨🚨🦆🦆DUCK RELEASES TOMORROW AT NOON🦆🦆🚨🚨 After 13 years of development, Duck is finally taking off! Be sure to wishlist to get notified when it releases. Retailing on Steam for $7.99 🔗 below
