if you post about how people should just make solo game projects or start small indie projects you are now on the hook to personally buy a copy of every single small-indie game you hear about on both steam and itch. if you don't do that you are a poser

The situation with The Alters is a great example as to why devs should never use gen AI in games for any reason. We never have and we never will.

Hope 11 bit studios learns and never does this again. We cannot substitute human labor and its importance in our work, even for placeholders, with slop.

11 bit studios | THE ALTERS OUT NOW @11bitstudios.bsky.social · Jun 30

We’ve seen a wide range of accusations regarding the use of AI-generated content in The Alters, and we feel it’s important to clarify our approach and give you more context.

Just a reminder to you all we are still working on Bitter Silver, we are roughly a 10-person team, and we will never use Gen AI.

Ever.

Why would any studio make a soulless video game this way?

Why would ANYONE want to play a game spat out like this into the world?

Because queer, trans, LGBTQ+ people have always existed and will always exist. No matter what certain lawmakers in DC try to do.

It's a combination of spite and determination.

We need art, ESPECIALLY in the face of everything. Fascism? Fight it with art, they hate art. AI? Fight it with real, human art. Fight it ALL with uplifting art that inspires people to love instead.

As an artist, you have the capability to inspire!

Kasey Snow @Lightbox Expo! @kaseysnow.bsky.social · May 27

Fellow artists: curious how you stay inspired, especially in light of the oppressive presence of AI and general turmoil in the world.

Everything is making me so tired. My instinct to avoid and withdraw is quite high these days.

Food for thought. External QA, animators, voice actors, and musicians deserve to be part of the narrative of game makers.

No, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wasn't "made" by 30 people

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's credits are a lot bigger than "30 developers".
