We're at the stage of the AI grift where major companies like Epic are openly using it... but aren't calling it "generative AI" because they know the majority hates it. They use euphemisms like "emerging technologies" now; be on the lookout for those, and call them out for what it actually is.

Oh no, as I feared Replicube by @walaber.com is like, laser-targeted at my brain. You get a voxel model, recreate it by writing a Lua program turning coordinates into colors, then see how your code length & cycle count compare vs others. It's real good y'all. store.steampowered.com/app/3401490/...

Just a little illustration I did for a fanfic I wrote. (archiveofourown.org/works/86400046) I looove drawing hugs. The only downside of hugs is you don't get to draw both faces, which is the best part.

These guys are called FLORADINN. You can think of them like the “Rudinn” of Chapter 5. Their favorite thing is FLOWERS. They usually don’t get what’s going on, but they are chill and don’t care. I like these guys.

Small update; all related accounts were banned and/or removed. So that's good!

Sorry to keep you waiting! DELTARUNE Chapter 5 will be released on June 24th at 11:00AM EDT. Here's the trailer if you missed it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5y2...

I’m shipping the first wave of QUEENIE prints out this Friday, so get your orders in before then to get ‘em first! 🫵🏾

additional context here that's maybe interesting I've made a few combat prototypes before but never been totally satisfied with them. This concept sits on top of those, is meant to really get at the thing I want first real prototype was in Dark Thicket (more in thread)

pride

Another big reason why I've been playing the long game by refusing to use anything GenAI/LLM. Not frying my neurons, not becoming dependent on it, not standing on the rug as it inevitably gets pulled

flop

I was asked on my dev stream how I decide what games to make. I stream gamedev on twitch.tv/walaber 3x per week btw!

Hey everyone! I wanted to update my pinned post. ✨I have 5 years experience as an animator in the games industry. 🎨Looking for Animation, Concept Art, QA, Administrative, and other similar roles. 💼 Open to Remote or anywhere on the West Coast of the US. Thank you! #animator #animation

Morning, morning (ghostpup) teaser! ✨ Support the creation of this short on the link below! On a routine job, a jaded young witch encounters the ghost of a dog that is mysteriously immune to her anti-ghost spells.

I love the new mouse game! Also hello! Been forever since I last posted anything🙇

backrooms is a gritty reboot of this windows 95 screensaver

Since Backrooms is a big thing now, look at my old liminal space art

Happy "TADC: The Last Act" Premiere Day! I was invited by Glitch to the red carpet premiere over the weekend! What an insanely talented cast and crew. I hope you all are enjoying it in theaters! 🥰

Yeahhh one big element of the horrendous job market in games is that pay is plummeting across the board. I was super fortunate to make $205k/year as a senior tech designer at Epic. I'm currently waiting to hear back from multiple contract Sr Tech Design roles I've applied for that pay $90-110k

also like, my measure of "wealth" now is how much of things going wrong you can bounce back from and maintain a basic standard of living. It is not about improving said standard of living. I want a house so I can't be priced out of my apartment. I want retirement money so I'm not homeless at 70.

When people comment on art saying something like "I could make this" they mean "I can recreate this". Yes, if it's not technically challenging, you could recreate it, but you were not the one who ideated, experimented and originated it. You very much couldn't.

We think you'll like Main Sequence if you like games that have: 👷 Factory building & Automation ⛏️ Resource gathering 🧑‍🚀 Spaceship & Space Station designing 👾 Defending your base against threads Play the demo now mythwright.gg/MS-Demo

in low gear the default "swirl steering" looks like this when you play (you can opt for less immersive "normal" steering if you want ofc)

Finally it's time to play Mina the Hollower.

[1/2] Really enjoyed my playthrough of #REPLACED , so mandatory fan art time! This is the protag, Reach. I love squinting at sprites and heavily stylized art trying to piece together character designs, it's the greatest joy of indie game fan art.

[2/2] Also, you give me a story about an artificial intelligence that somehow finds itself in a human body and I give them the quintessential human experience: a stomach ache. #REPLACED

You know what? I forgive him, instantly & completely. It sucks that he did that, but I have literally nothing else against Jorge besides this one ai decision, and now that he's reversed it I'm left with nothing but a faint sense of "did you really think that was going to go any other way?"
