Was thinking about whether it's better to spawn loot when an enemy dies or to spawn it when they're born and keep it on their person for you to pickpocket, and also how loot is often various giblets that presumably came off when they asploded, and should you be able to pickpocket the gibs?

I've added more level decoration to my #towerdefense game. I'm trying to decide whether it's now too noisy. #playdate #indiedev #pixelart

It’s my birthday.
Please honor me by buying yourself a $5 copy of a unique, interesting game made for adults, whose release is exposing several of the biggest, most depressing issues in videogames.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

PSA for anyone who sees this in their car - it causes it to play a notification sound every time you exceed the speed limit. So if you are on a winding canyon road and your speed varies from 34-36, it'll continually bloop at you. Great for parents with teenagers?

No. LLMs have no ability to keep a character or a narrative voice. The technical difficulty of implementing it is, it seems like, the nightmare scenario. It's expensive, sure, but it's not a nightmare scenario for VAs to record the chit-chat, and they deserve to get paid for the work.

I did work on God of War: Ragnarok, which I also did not write for or compose on, but instead constructed the boat, sled and walking stories start/resume system that no one mentions because it’s so unbuggy and works so well that it works like everyone expects it should. It was a nightmare to make
4 million listeners apparently!
Also sharing the programme with the music from Legend of Zelda and God of War was quite a thing!
Congrats to @caraellison.bsky.social, @kylewbanks.com and @choiby.bsky.social too for your interviews and featured music!

I know this will make everyone vomit, but I could it be a legit use of AI to have it insert these little transitions instead of having to record every possible contingency?
Note: I use no recorded dialogue, just wondering if we can save everyone involved from such nightmare scenarios.

It is very hard. also i think a lot of VO is extremely expensive from trained experienced actors, so another reason it doesn’t happen is because hours of chitchat is very very expensive from professionals
