You ever wanna gaze into the Abyss? You ever want her to gaze back? 😍 Newest feature of #AllThePromisedBurn is you can talk to Eris in the Abyss about what kind of person you are! - #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegaming

*Amai #GameDev Life Sat 12/20* Hey, I knocked it out of the fucking park today: I finished NOT ONLY the quest in the middle west, but also, IN THE ABYSS! EEEEEEE! If I were on my OLD gameplay plan, I would be 90% of the way done! Unfortunately, I changed game genres, so I'm not. BUT. I'm gonna bask

Show me how you draw/paint snow ❄️

Every little piece of it down to the code that makes up the site is made by humans. Most of it is made by me, with contributions from several friends. There is not and will never be gen AI involved. I plan to keep making things for it. Games, books, art, music. Come join the adventure 🪐

Here it is. The final 24 hours. You've helped coax banked embers into a steady flame. Tell me, what is one thing you'll bring with you into What-Comes-Next? Seeds? Thread? A good kitchen knife? What will you make of what's left? Together, let's light up the world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

*Amai #GameDev Life 12/19* Today, I went to partner's luncheon to make him look good for his boss AND there was a tornado warning that pulled me from my pc, so I didn't get as much done as I'd like. BUT we're gonna do some late night writing in bed and be on track tomorrow!

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

*Amai #GameDev Life 12/18* On Wednesday, I wrote all of the D&D easter egg encounter and got in half-of-it. I'm actually really impressed! I cranked out like 4k words! Don't worry, WotC, it's LEGALLY DISTINCT D&D with a STORYWEAVER and I never once mention "advantage" or a "dungeon master" :DDDD

The Gamers TM found the video and they are displeased 💀

*Amai #GameDev Life Wed 12/17* Yesterday, I achieved HSK 1 in Chinese! That means, I have a basic understanding of some things: 我会说少中文。(Maybe?) I ALSO got the framework to have a D&D game into my game! And you know it's accurate cuz they're all late and you have to find them 🤣

here's a quick taste of the world of Floramino! #TeaseYaGame plant flowers, battle weeds, and fulfill customer orders in this fast, dynamic tile puzzling game! 🌼 wishlist now on Steam! #indiegames #gamedev #cozygames

*Amai #GameDev Life Mon 11/15* My sleep schedule has been crazy and my Genshin Impact has broken with its latest version update. Actual tragedy. I DID get the Demon mini-quest in -- which firmly got me to be like "shit, I am not finishing before the end of the year" but I'm gonna try, goddamnit!

This last week was actually huge for me: I got ALL the sound into my game :O Please enjoy these footstep sounds in the farthest reaches of the Abyss #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegaming

Nic & I wrote hundreds of events for Amberspire, so I can say (with some bias) that the game’s world is so considered & interesting, but allows the player to form their own narrative that is reflected back at them in the cities they build. I’m proud to work on it, and everyone should wishlist it!!

*Amai #GameDev Life Fri 12/12* Lucky day! Yesterday, I got the marriage in and then the dictionary drafted, but not implemented. I think I might just do the dictionary today and then call it good. I am feeling like I might need a break XD

*Amai #GameDev Life Thu 12/11* I finished all the audio last night :O So today, I'm gonna go back to the top of my list with marriage, a dictionary, and the Demon questline today :O

*Amai #GameDev Life Wed 12/10* Today is more audio. We got halfway through Telethens before getting distracted by picking out some new musicccc <3

ASTAROHHHHHHH <3

*Amai #GameDev Tue 12/9* Today, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Brain fog has come back with a vengence like it hasn't in a long time, idk why... I did a ton of admin stuff yesterday also that I didn't mention. But I think I'll still do audio stuff today

*Amai #GameDev Mon 12/8* Last Friday, FINISHED all my videos like a CHAMP! Saturday, I took off. Sunday and Monday, I did audio stuff. I just finished all footstep sounds! And I have about half the ambient noises... Gotta work through the other half. Might do NPC art AND THEN finish sound ambience

*Amai #GameDev Life Wed 12/3* The transition back this time has been rough, as we had a bunch of mold on our stuff and I've been trying to decontaminate. BUT we should be fine now AND I've got 2.25 videos done for my December video series and I've got... um... the rest of the week to do XD

*Amai #GameDev Life Thu 11/27* Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! After baking 1.5 apple pies, I got around to implementing the wedding. What happens when you gather all the worldly artifacts of two trans scholars? They get MARRIED, of course!

Happy Thanksgivingggggg!

#SaveSpeech The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

using AI to write NPC dialogue is an affront to the art form it's robbing yourself of the single best part of game development, the bit where you can put all your dumbest throwaway jokes if you can't shitpost dialogue you have no right making a game here's some of my blorbos doing their shtick

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.
