Do you hate GenAI? ๐ซต๐ Have you recently played a handcrafted indie game that you liked but haven't yet left a review for it? ๐ค Good news! By leaving a review, you'll be supporting the game you liked while also making these statistics even worse for GenAI! ๐ค Go leave a review on Steam today! ๐๐

I'm making It Consumes, an arena-FPS set in total darkness, where you see by beating your heart. It also has an extensive custom games editor where you can build your own game modes and even create your own unique modifiers.

For people who think that AI is inevitable or worry it is, I made starter packs of game devs refusing to use AI, and in less than 24 hours had more than 200 devs ask to be included. Creatives don't want this and won't use it. You just need to support those who won't use it.

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added.

What if instead of trying to forcibly invent the next big technical revolution... what if we paid devs and funded projects? The budget for this stuff could create so much THRIVING art. Imagine: more games! more weird games! more games that take risks! games that dont need to monetize aggressively!

Hear me out... Univerally praised games are neat enough, but nothing hits quite like something unpopular that speaks to *you*. So show-and-tell: Link and Explain a game that's UNDERRATED (sub-500 user reviews), UNDERRATED (sub 80% score) or BOTH (ideally!) that is near and dear to your heart.

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.
