We wanted to get dialogue working so that my partner could start hooking up dialogue and choices. I started writing a simple thing that grabbed a JSON and output it, but that's about all it did. We tried a few and found MadTalk:

Setup a project share for our next game this morning! Its not robust, but our projects are being backed up and each of our working copies has their own Git, so its something!
Its leagues better than what we did for JtL so I'm pretty pumped about it. Next time we'll have a proper Git server, totally

I'm beyond excited to release 120 (!) retro textures tomorrow. They'll be CC0 (public domain) so they can be used in every sort of project, no restrictions and no need for attribution. No AI was used to create these, all handmade. See you tomorrow! ✨

Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why
In the aftermath of Github banning or suspending dozens of popular accounts, the erotic game modding community wonders if they should move to platforms like GitGoon instead.

If devs are *licensing* their own tech, sure. But a dev saying “if you don’t use bump mapping / IK / Source Engine you’re a Luddite / stuck in the past / etc.” - why would they care?
IME if someone uses tech that has self-evident value, people scramble to adopt it.

I had a few words to share about concept art.
@edmondtran.bsky.social did an amazing job distilling everyone’s I’m sure copious thoughts into an incredibly coherent article.
I think I’ll get students to read this, because it actually speaks quite well to what we actually do.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Indie devs: There is nothing stopping you from hopping onto SoundCloud (or any music platform), finding a song by a creator you like, and messaging/emailing them to ask if you can pay them to use their music.
It's frankly an amazing way to source music that hits for your game!

According to Steam Replay, 40% of all users' playtime was in "Classic Games", released 8 years ago or older. 44% was games released 1-7 years ago. That is without boycotting. Not buying games that use AI is very easy and doable, actually, the average user is already doing it accidentally.
Well, I'd go and play older games.
Games I already have.
And as far as indie games, I'll play from devs I have a repertoire with.
Will I stop gaming? No, but I'll be mindful.
