I dont use AI at all. Theres only room for one kind of AI in my life, and thats me, the Actual Idiot. If I can figure things out, literally nobody needs this sloptech controlled by oligarchs.

Mother Goose units have high explosive rounds that are strong against armoured enemies like the Flamethrower Flan. #gamedev #indiegame #lowpoly #ps1 #mecha

I dont think of myself as a good programmer at all, so when I write code that works the first time, I am incredibly confused as to why it works. But thats learning and the joy of progress, aint it? The crafting system for my game is starting to shape up nicely!

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Its a good day in the world when a dude who selflessly makes tons of amazing free assets for the betterment of all indie devs gets under the skin of not just one, but TWO Billionaire losers who keep pushing genAI down everyone's throats.

I've released Better Tile Editor v0.3.0 - Seams: break a terrain on purpose - Magic wand selection - Paste preview on the cursor - Several minor bugfixes found by the community If you're a gamedev, you will need this! #godot #gamedev

Making me so glad that I moved away from using Unreal Engine in favor of Godot 2 years ago.

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Im cooking up something fun 👀But I do worry about showing *too much* because of all the wierdos trying to copy games with genAI, so I think I will market it with random tidbits like this until I can get the steam page up and ready for launch. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #goblins

Saw the new Resident Evil movie today, and Its a 10/10 for me. Perfect horror movie, with the right amount of building and relieving tension, and Bryan is the perfect fit into the world as a total everyman in a world of superhuman supermodels who fight zombies. Hes so relatable.

Maaaaan, the compression is making it look like mixels now which ironically makes the whole thing like it was AI genned. What a fucking cursed timeline we live in.

Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave is an insanely beefy game. It solidly improves upon ideas from 3H and Engage and just ends up with so much more. The dungeons and clash battles are super refreshing, and theres just so much to do between major chapter events. Its not fatiguing at all like Three Houses was.

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

I'm pleased to announce that around 200 pages' worth of tutorial resources are coming to the Game UI Database for FREE via a brand new blog. No ads. No paywalls. No email signups. Here's a preview of the first piece dropping next week, all about crafting cross-platform control schemes and layouts!

AI has only contributed to the brain rot of the modern shit fest we find ourselves in. I've done all the work, by hand and I'll continue to until the day I die. Fuck AI. I've been making games for decades before AI even existed.

Super excited for more low-spec retro 3D titles. Looks like Megaman Legends as a character platformer!

Now time for something that really rocks! Today I'm excited to announce my new game, Tombone: Legend of the Cave Babes! A fast paced retro inspired action-adventure game set in a fantastic prehistoric world. Wishlist Now!✨ store.steampowered.com/app/4800890/...

Id like to think im very good at spotting genAI in imagery, but I realize I dont know much about spotting AI code besides the typical things like having Claude mentions in repos. Any of my fellow AI haters able to give me some tips on identifying genAI code?

Removed a #Godot Plugin from my project as I learned it was vibe-coded. On principle, I will not use anything that has genAI as one of the core things that built it up.

So, I guess Im making a golf game now. Gonna be some sorta incremental trainer sim sorta thing. You are the coach, you raise the golfers. Monster Rancher but the only monsters are the drives they hit when you spec the golfer into pure power.

Turns out GDstudio is made using genAI, in the developers own words. "I use claude code to make GDstudio and its not a problem for me because all the architectural decisions are mine." This is an absolute dealbreaker for me and I know it will be for others too.

GDStudio is an attempt to improve the Godot editor... and IMHO it succeeds 100%! In fact, it's hard to go back to regular Godot after using it. Thankfully you can, as its 100% #GodotEngine compatible. gamefromscratch.com/gdstudio-a-b... #gamedev #indiedev

I see some concerns raised about Godot's policy on contributions using AI. TL;DR: Godot isn't vibe-coded. As a whole, the Godot foundation and maintainers are fairly critical of AI usage, and don't make nor accept vibe-coded contributions. Godot doesn't include AI features nor intends to add any.
