With the latest wave of new arrivals - and video support having recently been added - now feels like a good time to remind people that I have an 8-bit bullet hell game available on Steam!

Give it a look: store.steampowered.com/app/2927820/...

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

a thing that's always really bothered me about indie game world from the beginning is it's entirely dependent on connections and you have no idea if what anyone is telling you is true or not because there are very few people who care about your interests. cold take: unions and co-ops are necessary!

I will say that nothing is more baffling to me than the industry standard that we teach developers about publishing by having them listen to talks and panels by publishers. It's like fiscal responsibility taught by a loan shark, privacy taught by Google, or human rights taught by Israel.

I'd love to chip in if I can, just for shits and giggles

It's easily done if you use a fantasy console like PICO-8 or TIC-80

IRL stuff is happening and will likely take my attention away from working on Prism Warriors until I get it sorted out. In the meantime, you can get the first game, Prism Indigo, for 30% off on Steam until October 6th.

I might end up needing the money.

In other news, one hour until #ldjam starts. Working on something other than Prism Warriors will be a nice change of pace, and I haven't actually finished a jam game in a year now

It's crazy how many indie devs cut their teeth on Newgrounds, quietly one of the most important platforms in games history

Hearing that @borbware.itch.io's EMUUROM is butting up against the code size limit even after heavy optimization honestly makes me very excited to see just how much content has been packed into it
f1krazy.bsky.social
I've probably said this before but it really is impressive how much content you can actually fit into TIC-80 Pro's limitations.

Prism Warriors is only on track to use up about 50% of the available code size and it's not even particularly well-optimized.

I'll say it again, Art is communication.

"Create for yourself" really means "Create art that communicates who you are." And one sided communication feels terrible. Commenting on peoples art/creations can be scary, I get it. But COMMENT. COMMUNICATE. We want to hear it. I want to hear it.

"Create for yourself" is great and all but no one wants to feel like no one cares and you're just screaming into the void

If that's not a "sicko" premise for a game then I don't know what is
f1krazy.bsky.social
A couple of times recently I've thought, "my game ideas aren't weird enough, I need to come up with a proper 'game for sickos'" and then I remember that Melody's Requiem is an episodic 8-bit neo-noir mystery adventure where you can seduce people into telling the truth through a rhythm minigame
