We were hit by a strange issue that made it impossible to nominate Öoo for the Steam Awards… it was pretty disheartening 😢 But it looks like the problem has finally been fixed! If you have a moment, I’d really appreciate your vote 👍 🔗 store.steampowered.com/steamawards/...

These are good credits. Ultimately credits are just going to be (basically) a blob of text in your game resources. It should not be hard to add detail. If I ever manage to move on from my current job working for tha' man and get back to making my own games, I would start doing credits like this.

Bloody hell - how do I get rid of Gmail?

FYI: turning off "Smart features" also turns off spell check and the promotions and social tabs. And more. In effect, a lot of traditional tools in gmail are switched off if you don't let them upload your contracts, love notes, and sad messages to your friends into their plagiarism machine.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

This is the most Australian thing I have seen all week and it's a mood

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Adam Curtis' brief postmortem of it in HyperNormalisation (2016) as a failed push to ape the impotent attempts at a Utopian Internet still feels like the most prescient analysis.

Vast Journey - an experimental game about needing to use your imagination for the 30 minute drive to a local national park. I wrote scripts to generate the json level data for this. Hand building the level in the wareware editor was not feasible. thelemurconspiracy.itch.io/a-vast-journey

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

WHAT. Give me that, you jerks!!!!!!

So small and weak a group that every AFL club paying membership could form a national political party before they can.

Had an idea to make some tools that let me create an obscenely large wareware level. I'm expanding the tooling to allow for some very simple sprite actions to create a closed game loop so that it feels more like an "experience"

The Citizen Sleeper games both are totally my jam. Loved The first and I’m finally locked in to the sequel. I need more games like these.

Another Game Pile post with more games you might like to play. I'm glad I didn't set myself a schedule for writing up Game Pile posts. I would've (gladly) missed this one for sure as I've been deep in the lovely new experience of looking after a tiny person 👶 open.substack.com/pub/gamepile...

going to great lengths to make my outline shader as hand-drawn as possible

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I very much encourage folks to check out some of the wareware games submitted to misty's scareware jam. There are limitations to the tool force you to get out of your own way and make something fast. But it does offer enough tools for expression to create cool experiences. itch.io/jam/scarewar...
