It Consumes is in Steam Next Fest! The demo includes a good chunk of the main survival mode, with lots of different abilities and modifiers to mess around with. And save data will carry over into the full release.

GDC has always been ass, and GDC now trying to further impose control outside moscone to strangle out side events is a sure sign that it's not going to get better. If you're a dev, this sheet is free and will have a higher impact than paying money to go to sf

If you have an interest in making an ambitious rhythm game with me, with a DIY attitude, radical liberation worn on it's sleeve, queer focused subject matter, and colorful characters, I am seeking to build a team ahead of grant applications this coming March. Interested in contributing?

Really smart technique. And gives it such an awesome vibe that I'm not sure would be there if everything were coloured individually.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

I've said before that I have a low (but not zero) tolerance policy on AI trash in games. It sucks, but I won't let it ruin something that's 99% hand-made. THAT SAID, keep doing this and pressuring and embarassing studios that try to slip in that little bit of garbage. They might back down, like so!

Yeah, this especially an issue, I've brought up privately with some gamedev contacts, about some assets being used that were snuck in there without them knowing it was AI, and it causing them more hassle to remove it later. It's just putting extra work on people.

So many of the games you love are worked on by Canadian devs. Honestly, its a HUGE chunk of the industry and you never REALLY hear about it, to the extent it deserves. Here is a great sale, and its only showcasing 300 of those games, which is just a taste.

The new AI video game generator is fucking disgusting, creatively bankrupt, morally empty, soulless horse shit. Yet, I fear the masses won't care, and the day games invented by robots are accepted is coming. What's the point in a world without human-made art? We have destroyed our humanity.

Happy to share that It Consumes will be a part of the 2025 Lovecraftian Days event on Steam, which runs from April 14 - 21. There'll be an updated version of the It Consumes playtest, plus tons of other games with weird cosmic horror and freaky tentacle monsters.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

very easy to get caught up in the loud obnoxious grifter assholes who decry “wokeness” & complain representation is ruining their “hobby” but the thing that matters is, a bunch of people chanting TRANS RIGHTS raise $2mil+ for great charities twice a year, every year. that’s what it’s all about
