Hey all. I know that I've been real quiet, but I wanted to send out this signal that I'm still alive and okay. It's never been easy for me to move past negative feelings and I'm still working through them, but I want you all to know that I'm not going to just disappear.

So I just took my first crack at Blender and oh boy, this is going to be a grind. The interface is the biggest hurdle I'm seeing so far, but it's just like learning a new game. Just gotta get used to the controls. It'll take some time, but I'll get there eventually.

do you think AI voices are ruining young kids' perception of good voice acting? like, when young gamers hear that awful "cheese slicer" line from the finals, do they even clock it as having really weird delivery?
is this tech hurting our future VA's?

Speaking of #MortalShell, who likes #VirtualPhotography? In the thread below, you'll find a bunch of shots I took in the #PhotoMode. Par for the course, these are all amateur efforts, but I enjoyed taking them. Perhaps you will enjoy looking at them.

Alright, I'm okay now. There is no need to get hung up on the could haves, would haves and should haves. What's done is done, and the journey shall continue...
...right after I finish getting 100% of the achievements in Mortal Shell 😁

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!
Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.
You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

Since video game companies keep lying about usage of gen AI, I think this should be brought up again.
I use it on my store page, and it's easy to see at a quick glance on the right hand sidebar.

I think I can accidentally make a diablo now so that's cool.
Something I'm gonna have to look into is making the shading a bit more toon for 2D lights, but so far this is fine.
I set up an import script for importing all the animations (with looping if appropriate) and set up the blend tree!

Thank you for playing, Marcelo! The ability to cheese your way around the world was very intentional. It was the least I could do to make up for the jank save function.
Finished Curtains the Clown from @grimclownjay.bsky.social! That was a nice quick game and I was in the thanks section! 😀 I’ll play again because I’m pretty sure I ended up cheesing some stuff and skipped a lot, but it was fun and I hope GrimClownJay continues making games! 😀

Most gamers don't know or care that indies exist.... unless a friend tells them.
Our games succeed because you tell other people you liked our game. Word of mouth is the best marketing there is.
