Oh shit I hit 12k! Neat!

Anyways uh if you'd rather only see my "on topic" posts, got a feed that only shows my next project: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Also got a Patreon if you want my especially nerdy blogs:
I guess I should sometimes actually share the Patreon in a "hey, subscribers help!" kinda way: www.patreon.com/posts/ah-hol...

Anyways, next two posts will be how to use fake/heavy gravity to make games feel "heavier" and a UE5 ControlRig deep dive

In contrast, Hotel Barcelona (the Swery/Suda collaboration) recently took all generative AI elements out of the game as the headline for a big patch that included additional quality of life additions and fixes.

Hope exists for this shit, too.
The article is well worth a read; this information would never have come to light were it not for Steam's AI disclosure policy, and the game looks to be a rushed cash grab not involving Grasshopper studio.

This is why CEOs dont like AI disclosures, they want to be able to discreetly serve slop
The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA

Interesting side effect of letting Mooks cause flinch. Didn't occur that this means you can use friendly forces as defensive formations.

The AI I'm adding now is to let the Officer deal with this exact situation ("if get hit by Mooks -> lay about themselves with wild abandon") but... HUH. Neat! 🐭⚔️

This is fair, Americans really shouldn't throw stones, we live in a glass McDonalds
Well I'm never accepting criticism of our baked beans from an American again!

We need a new word for the emotional whiplash of finding out a cute bird video you enjoyed turns out to be AI

It's like a hollowing, it's just- awful

Like I can feel it actively corrupting my ability to Enjoy Animal Videos, and what on Al Gore's Internet are we doing here when even THAT is ruined

It seems irresponsible to spend 5 paragraphs and a headline talking about the game without saying this is not developed by Grasshopper Manufacture.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

So having spent the morning trying to think of Pink Unicorn-coded alternatives to Disney Dreamlight Valley that aren't as shit, I've got almost nothing?

There's a huge market gap, indies aren't going there

Ooblets is similar genre/age/tone, but it isn't Pink Unicorns

Why is nothing Pink Unicorns?

I know Wednesday wasn't indigenous, but for non Americans Addams Family Values probably is the best explanation of what "Thanksgiving" is.

What if bros are spite-driven

What if we make an era of media all Please Invent This Torment Cube and Look At These Evil Space Socialists They're Bad

Is THAT how we get them to take the correct message away from media

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

If the dialogue could be written by GenAI, so you think you'll just fill the space with that?

Cut it. Seriously. The omission will be stronger than just stuffing your whatever with bland oatmeal.

You aren't making anything better with it, you're making it worse. Less really is more, almost always.
i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.

Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

The East LA level in Tony Hawk's American Sk8land has an elaborate secret involving an invisible rail that clips you through geometry to an out-of-bounds section of the map, revealing a message telling you to hide in the bushes in the Beverly Hills map.

When you do so, the game plays a fart noise.
