So, the Next Fest page updated to default to personalized recommendations, but you can further tune the results by filters and tags. It went from 'at least half AI garbage' to 'holy shit I just discovered 20 cool human-made games I wanna play in under an hour'. Go dig around yourself. It's good!
Okay, now the Next Fest page is set to Personalized by default, it's giving me some REAL sicko stuff (positive, laudatory even), like... RUIN: 35th ANNIVERSARY DEFINITIVE EDITION A remaster of a game that never existed.

again, hate to say it, but if moral arguments worked on people, the big mac would be vegetarian. I'll tell you why I don't use ai: pleasure and convenience. it feels fucking good to make stuff only I could make, and I can pull stuff out of my brain without an internet connection or subscription

that's how you sell a videogame to me
Thank you! We deliberately designed AE to contrast against the checklist-focused exploration of metroidvanias, in favor of something less guided, and more about players making meaning from "being in the middle of what is happening in the world even if confused" vs. "uncovering what happened"

The live-action cutscenes in pixel art survival horror game, Tenebris Somnia, are incredible, but the WAY they're used is also genius! On Consoles & PC: store.steampowered.com/app/2121510/... Vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wI6... by indie dev AndrΓ©s Borghi & producer @airdorfofficial.bsky.social

cracked open the latest @emuurom.com update and fixed my extractor, so it splits the auto-merged lua files again this is a good example of something i was talking about recently w/r/t the differences between "prompt it from AI" and "find it off stack overflow": you can explicitly show your sources

According to MIT News, Margaret Hamilton died at the age of 90. "A profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MITβs Instrumentation Lab during NASAβs Apollo program". This famous photo π½ inspired the For All Mankind character Margo Madison.

I feel like my GOAT TGBS literally made this vid for me and @kayin.moe as ammo for anytime we yap about metroidvania's sacrificing their strengths at the altar of "good" combat and bosses www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkXD...

one thing you learn from making a lot of things is that the nitty gritty details, the millions of tiny invisible decisions, ARE the art. The "higher level ideas" are not nearly as important or interesting
"AI lets you focus on the higher level ideas!!" because we all grew up dreaming of becoming managers and CEOs we all know the real artists at the very highest level are the shareholders, famously full of amazing ideas
New patch btw......................... store.steampowered.com/news/app/163...
psst it's that time of the year when EMUUROM is on sale π store.steampowered.com/app/1634360/...

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
