get more passionate. that's my advice. being an artist is super lonely. being a writer is the loneliest. mapping out the wrinkles of your brain and sharing it with the world is vulnerable, especially when no one else seems to care, but passion is the secret. get so passionate it doesn't even matter.

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

new update is here! couldn't figure out how to get internal saving to work within my limitations, but i added for $5 the raw project files in case anybody wants to mod this thing. it's not mentioned anywhere (yet) but the project files are CCBY 2.0 and the maps themselves are CC0

a look behind the proverbial hood

The demo of my BL visual novel The End of the World Club is now on Steam! It's about 11k words long and available in English and Spanish. I also added a couple of achievements, so feel free to check it out even if you've already played it on itchio.

Nice, EA presenting their games on their Steam Summer sale in the most glorious AI generated slop banner possible! Nothing gives me more joy spending money (somewhere else).

Deep in the Ulum Forest, there are some secrets to discover 🌲 #indiegame #crystalsofirm

made room for another new tile, a backwards 'S' line, and tested it with a little beach scene. then i got a little carried away trying to make overworld characters...

Looks like the Sims indie company EA can't afford an artist, so they used AI for their Steam banner during the Summer Sale www.reddit.com/r/Steam/s/SW...

It took me literally 5 seconds on Google to figure out the Bluesky Licenses that are going around are AI

Here are my extended thoughts after playing through and having a great tine with Bubsy 4D.

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

Calvin and Hobbes strip that says it quite well;

I'm the biggest AI hater out here and have been banging the anti-AI drum in my gamedev communities for years now 🫡 I do all the art, programming, design, etc. myself; no coding assistant, no AI for research or docs! my Next Fest demo really needs your help 😂 store.steampowered.com/app/4342490/...

Extraneum has been made entirely by hand with my own blood, sweat and tears (and that of my two other collaborators), as all other games I've made and will ever make. There is no subtitute for human-made art! store.steampowered.com/app/1999140/...

i would rather die than use ai for anything here’s my game store.steampowered.com/app/3624840/...

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!

It's writing time

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

The only reason why AI is even this quick is because the training data has already scrapped all human-made content without anyone's explicit permission. But artists are still expected to post their work constantly, because otherwise how else will AI get new training data to save CEOs money?

I've been quite sick for over two weeks so I couldn't share the news that - yes! I've been working on Burn-9 as lead designer, miracle worker(?) and font doodler Try it! It's pretty unique 🕵️‍♂️
