Eternal Skies TCG RPG

Pinned post update for new trailer: I'm Connor, and I'm working on being an indie game dev. I'm making a game that's gonna be retro and nostalgic and pure vibes Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3133320/Eternal_Skies_TCG/ Discord: discord.com/invite/DenBbkpTwx Website: eternalskies.neocities.org/

Being anti ai is (throws dart at a board covered in bad things) mormon

Coming around to the idea that I don't have to have made much art to be an artist, the fact that I'm reorienting my life because I feel a need to create is enough.

Anthropic: structures every deal and front loads every contract so the bulk of the money hits in Q2, while spreading their costs to hit after Q2 so they can say they're profitable Internet financial analysts: oh my god Anthropic is profitable, these financials are amazing!

Digital poetry should be a genre. Short, powerful, unique audiovisual interactive experiences. A major issue to this though is that steam would just let players refund after finishing. Another issue is the culture of gaming being.....yeah. We should all support Nathalie as she tries anyway.

I feel like with the Bioware news, there is a massive group of people like "oh no Mass Effect!" and another massive group like "oh no Dragon Age!" and then a smaller group like "oh no KOTOR!". And then me standing by myself like "oh no Jade Empire!". I friggin loved that game.

I still think this trailer sucks and I made it in thirty minutes, but people seem to like it, so I should share it more. Of course, I think everything I make sucks.

Tim Sweeney is just proving you never ever ever want to be a billionaire. It cooks your brain so badly that you could do anything in the world, but he's spent an entire week just rage posting that people don't like AI on twitter Bro go blow off steam buying an island or some shit what are you doing

You know, I do actually understand the temptation sometimes when I'm programming to just have the computer do some parts of it. But I really need to know how it works. All of it. Every bit. Also I like my brain fully functional.

"you need to aggressively cut scope if you want to ship games" No thanks. I'm making a pretty specific and unique experience here, not creating a general mass market product. It's a game first and a product second, not the other way around.

Where are all the gamers who will only play an indie game if it's less than a dollar per hour they spend on it on this? I'm guessing that all of a sudden when it comes to ball and gun games, it's fine to spend more than a dollar per hour. That was just bullshit to be a cheapskate to Indies.

Hey did you guys know about outside? I just went out there and honestly it's pretty neat.

The funny thing about this comic is they think the label is the issue. Players will still see it and say ew AI slop and not want to play it. I can see why you would think it given your success with fortnite and literally nothing else Tim, but players are not actually complete and utter morons.

this also goes for indies btw, which is why the 30% cut steam takes is so egregious. that 30% is often the difference between one and done, or a studio that gets to make a second and maybe third game. and it would cost them literally nothing to take no cut for the first 100k, it's a rounding error

Sometimes, very briefly, I think what if my game isn't good enough for people to take notice of it. Then I remember, wait, my game is awesome and I am awesome, so there's nothing to worry about.

I was looking through some truly ancient game screenshots, so I thought I would do a little comparison of back then to now. It will keep getting better! So you should get in early and wishlist now. Does it benefit you to be early? No, but it makes me happy. store.steampowered.com/app/3133320/...

Kissing is really weird when you think too much about it

You might have seen the original "no genAI seal" by @kanaratron.bsky.social. I've made the icon into a set of assets in both PNG and vector formats that can be more widely used in different contexts. You can find them here: www.joramwolters.com/no-gen-ai-ico/

"we need to show games in person" "we need to show games later" "there are too many games and too much AI, what are we going to do?" motherfucker what is VALVE GOING TO DO, they take 30% of every sale! this is on them!
