The world cup rules holy shit

If you're looking for games with wild titles and/or concerningly large casts of characters and/or games that push what RPG Maker can do (like first person 3d golf) then you're in luck, as all my stuff on itchio's in the summer sale for 50% off itch.io/s/188954/sum...

You can tell how AI is going in general with how all these places refuse to let you disable it. If it was a good product making money they wouldn't care. They're trying to get you dependent on it so they can turn around and sell you tokens Feel we're so close to them pulling back on the slop a bit

Why would you pay $80 for GTA VI and get one game when you could buy UFO 50 for $25 and get fifty games

Idk. People may argue over the price, but I just can't get over 1-2 billion bucks to make a 'being a piece of shit in FLORIDA' simulator?' Idk man.. is this the best we can do? Everything we can do in an infinite virtual space, and the largest budget goes to... that.

every time you see a headline that begins with “we have to,” replace the “we” with “you” and you’ll immediately understand the purpose of the piece and the power dynamics at play

Hey folks, my new video is live now! And if you were watching live, is secretly a TOP 13 video! I cheated. It's by far my biggest one yet, and I'm really proud of this one, so please do share it around and leave a comment on the vid if you don't mind, it really helps and I love to read 'em! 💜

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10% productivity gain. Ben fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000% productivity gain..."

With the newly released AI warning for Steam v1.1.0 you can turn the AI disclosure on Steam store pages into an unmissable popup and blur or hide games with an AI disclosure in the search results! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa... addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo... chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-wa...

Pretty mixed on Mina the Hollower so far. Some parts rule so much, and then others feel like it's just trying to frustrate you. I don't mind difficult games, the boss fights I've done have been fantastic. There's just some bits that are difficult and very unfun.

decided to go with a skill tree as a way to pick rewards between maps instead of just picking 1 from a random selection of 3. i still gotta make it look.... uh.... not like that, but it works! #ScreenshotSaturday #Godot #indieDev

Just grabbed this. I've only listened to a third of them so far but man these rule. 10/10

indie dev who heroically does not play or study games so as to maintain their pure creativity: "once you complete the procedurally generated level you pick between one of three upgrades"

The thing about discussions of increasing the price of games to make dev more sustainable is that we still are getting quarter after quarter of record profits from major publishers so idk seems like the layoffs have very little to do with AAA pricing and a lot to do with business strategy

Hey! You know what! CALLING ALL INDIE GAME DEVS! Do you HATE genAI? Do you swear your game does not use genAI INCLUDING using genAI like Claude? SHARE IT HERE! I will share them! I will check them all out! I will definitely play some of them! Many if I can afford! SHARE! YOUR! ART!

Hey folks, I'd like to make one more big push on my new video, I put a lot of work into it and I'm extremely proud, but it's really not getting the views I'd hoped for, so if you could please check it out, and very kindly share it around, I'd seriously appreciate it.

incredible video, all bangers

if I seem militant about AI it's because a lot of my friends are writers, concept artists, QA people, etc, and they are the ones who are currently having their careers obliterated by that shit. not speculatively. happening right now. I don't see a need to be soft towards ppl who shrug at that

no no you don’t understand, we only used AI for the part of the production pipeline where we didn’t want to pay employees, it’s different

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

some jokes write themselves

Ok, for real now... Drift of the NecroDancer is actually officially available for players who own the SYNCHRONY DLC! It’s time to put the pedal to the metal in your speedruns 🤘

Drawing, writing, gaming...

been playing around with a tower defense game where you have to arpg craft all the tower mods

first day warm enough to open my window and my neighbor has just been leaf blowing for 3 straight hours.

If ai could do half of what they claim, that would be it. It would just print money. They wouldn't need to make shit up about it. But it can't do what they claim, so they just sit around and say stuff like this.

Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same. Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush. www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/s/...

as a professional software engineer, anyone saying llms are writing more than 50% of their code is either lying or an idiot.

as someone who's been too lazy to switch to linux for the past decade, this'll do it lol

Hey folks, been having a real rough day, but I'm just gonna stream anyway, hopefully it'll help me relax and I can help everyone else relax, so come join me for some chill trucking in Snowrunner! As always, all the signal boosts hugely appreciated. www.twitch.tv/caseyexplosion

two weeks of entirely re-doing my animation system just so i can properly put boots on my sprite. worth it, now to make the rest of him less naked. #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

Our next game is Verminsteel! You're a bird with a broadsword, kicking thousands of fascists so hard they fly into the sun PLEASE go wishlist it, it'll make me really happy and help me stop low-key panicking and stuff: store.steampowered.com/app/4352280/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

starting to get pretty annoyed by software that have long standing bugs but also pops a stupid ai assistant in my face every 4 seconds. havent been able to copy and paste multiple screenshots into jira in months, but their useless chat bot sure wont shut the fuck up

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

"I only use AI to write the boring parts" The boring parts:

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

personally, my biggest game dev hurdle is that if i try something stupid, and it works, i just never bother to learn the "right" way to do it. just had to rip out all my animation code because i was too lazy to learn godot's animation tree and my hacky solution just wasnt cutting it anymore.

If this was true, why wouldn’t they do it and cut out the developers?

it wont

How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…

I think I'm more excited for Mewgenics than any game I can remember in a long time.

gotta do the mana one still, but i have that classic arpg health globe thing going #screenshotsaturday

Kinda don't think we are mad enough that the website that told us every thing we ever wanted to know for like 20 years randomly decided to just start lying to us one day

as a software engineer, something like 30% of my day is now spent closing ai chat bots on every piece of software that i use for my job. im just so sick of this industry man

If i ever see you post about having asked chatgpt anything im unfollowing and muting u and thinking quite a lot less of you

hell yeah

Look you don’t have to be happy about the events of today to recognize that “It is time we put aside our differences and celebrate the life and work of a transphobic white supremacist hate monger” is an unacceptable idea to push and that too many people in power are currently pushing it

i love Rider but like once a year i have to completely nuke it from my computer and redo all of my settings because code completion just breaks and i dont understand how they charge $100 a year for something this broken

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
