Working on art and listening to @doublefine.com #PsychOdyssey again.

The second episode is so uplifting, everyone is so positive and encouraging about their colleagues creativity.

This is what I really aspire to and love gamedev for.

How it feels to be one of the ever dwindling game development studios who refuse to use gen AI in their games

Working in 2D is so much simpler for a beginner to code/script, but my passion is 3D art.

Make a 2D game that looks like ass.

Decisions, decisions.

My Twitter account got a shadow ban for being human so I'll post here and abandon that refuse hole of AI slop altogether.

Put some assets together in #Unity this evening. I hand painted the skybox and the ring of trees. The little green island is the beginning of the level.

Today I made the drop pod and stuck this little scene together.

I watched #SpaceKing and wanted to make a terrible Ape Escape clone using #PSX #lowpoly style.

I'll make these models available if anyone wants them.

I feel like I'm the last sane person on Earth when it comes to AI.

How can anyone use it and be like:

"Yeah, this is our future, it's kinda shitty and not actually what I wanted or asked for but its easily worth a billion dollars and your job".

I can barely communicate the frustration I feel

Finally managed to tune my timeline to show me cool artwork and indie games!

I think #Youtube is cooked as a learning resource.

Trying to find a tutorial when searching for "tutorial" is hard enough.

Then I get two 2 minute unskippable adverts back to back utterly destroying the already crooked tracks of my ADHD train of thought and derails the entire session.

Last Christmas I got a Google gift card, I spent it on YouTube Premium.

It ran out today and I saw my first adverts in a year.

EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS FOR AI!

What is this nightmare?

This game has a really unique looking art style AND interesting looking mechanics.

One to watch.
Why yes.
This is way too much UI.

I started making the paper prototype for my elevator operator simulator!

The game now exists and can be play tested. It's helping me see things I hadn't considered and fine tune the personalities of riders.

Stop hijacking #screenshotsaturday

There's no need to "host" a hastag, it only give you visibility and buries everyone who replies while boosting you. It's so insincere and self serving.

Encourage others to use the hastags independently.

I was hoping this would disappear with twitter.

This year I've been buying less on #Steam and more on #GOG and #Itchio.

Attempting to be more aware of ownership and supporting developers.

In 2026 I'll see if I can skip Steam entirely.

I started in UDK and loved it, then UE4 was great but #UE5 is so unwieldly.

I'm trying out #Godot as an alternative for making small games.

I'm blueprint dependent though so this will be a STEEP learning curve.

Seeing the news about #Disney and #AI is miserable.

Imagine paying for a subscription service that then throws slop generated by its users at you for a premium price.

Game publishers will be watching the reaction before opening the floodgates as well.

Out of curiosity I logged into my ancient (20 year old) #Deviantart account.

What the fuck happened to that site???

It's just AI slop porn wall-to-wall with even more premium charges piled on.

Games are constantly under attack for doing things other mediums have tackled for decades as if it's some new taboo.

Just watched @charalanahzard.bsky.social video that sums things up more eloquently youtu.be/G-7r9pL0Hqo?...

#Indiedev should be talking more about the freedom of the artform.
why is anyone ok with this

Progress on my #lowpoly character for my short #PSX style game about escaping.

More to do, colors need work but happy with some of the shading!

128x128 texture maps for face and body.

Imagining a game where one of the main mechanics is consuming “anti-glitch” to keep the player character from glitching out to death. Thanks to @gfuel.com I made an IRL concept 🫡
