Hey #GameDev community (or anyone else interested in ARGs!) I'm looking to become a consultant on ARGs and freelance designer/runner for them too. I have a history going back to 2016 of playing & helping make both professional and hobbyist! Twitch & PUBG I've helped make/run official ARGs for. 1/3

It's Asexual Awareness & Acceptance Week! So... hi! I'm an ace author who lives in the woods. Asexuality isn't a lack of joy; I just find joy elsewhere. I love Horror, and Fantasy, and kaiju, and puns, and most of all: books. Do y’all like books?

VIRTUE AND A SLEDGEHAMMER 🔴 OUT NOW 🔴 I STILL LOVE YOU MORE THAN I HATE YOU 🔨 store.steampowered.com/app/3743260/... 🔨

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

As it turns out, Uchikoshi's game was cancelled not because he was being forced to use AI, but *potentially* because he was being forced to NOT use ai. I'm going to fucking crash out man Does anyone have a more accurate translation cause I really hope this is just fucked up translation/summary

I just wanted to know why all the WatchWord showings have suddenly vanished for the Odeon at Cabot Circus 😭 Generative AI has made support actually fucking entirely impossible to get from companies now

RT if you don't use AI for coding

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

Ok, listen - Epic knows it has six fingers and they know you will rage repost it. Don't.

Fuck off with your verbal abuse, no apologies, no refunds and absolutely abysmal communication. Asking for £89(???) when I didn't even get all I paid for the first time around is maddening

Vampirium: 1997 isn’t in next fest, but while you’re in a wishlisting mood, I’d really appreciate you adding us too. Makes a big difference and helps us position ourselves better down the road :) Also I added pyromancy today. So that’s fun. store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

*wakes up* *sees multiple discord announcements about websites going down until this afternoon because of a PHP vuln* Ah fuck, it's one of those days

Prove You're Human has been nominated for BEST GAME TRAILER at the Golden Joystick Awards! We worked so hard on this one and we're so happy with the outcome. From storyboard to final master, it was done entirely in-house by our amazing team! Cast your vote now! www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoysti...

If you don't think coding is fun anymore because of AI, you never liked coding in the first place. This is just a fucking disgrace tbh

Can we please start to see companies boycotting epic? Moving away from unreal, not releasing on EGS. Move your games, move your audience. Tim needs to be put in his place, this cannot continue with him like this.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

Finished Penguin Colony. It's not as smooth as Umurangi, but has amazing vibes and a twist on Lovecraft that is worth experiencing. Also, lots of secrets left to uncover! But before any talk about the gameplay & story, I just want to share this screenshot. Kudos to @veselekov.bsky.social & the team

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

Given that the person who had their game "replicated" is also an AI slopper, is lying about that, and the "replica" was on Steam before their game was: I feel ok using this as a jumping off point for discussing why I don't think this is anywhere near as much of an issue as people are worried about

how indeed

Just a meme I found on Twitter lol

🙃

if you have NVIDIA GeForce and recently updated the app, please go to the settings and turn off "Allow AI Agents to control the NVIDIA App". this invasive setting is turned on by default

"are llms conscious" is not just a deeply stupid question it's a deeply uninteresting one

Finished off a really fucking shitty day with a lorcana pre-release event at a local I've never been to before. Found some very lovely people, some fantastic games - went in expecting to win nothing, won 2/5 rounds instead!!

your next dive into the horror tingleverse in coming... RAINBOW CAPITAL BY CHUCK TINGLE from @tornightfire.bsky.social with cover art by cassie vu. support human art AND treat yourself to a future gift by taking a moment to preorder here us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

anyone online can already build websites, games, and more it comes free with having a brain

It's one of those days where it feels like a week has passed since waking up

Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨ Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects! kenney.itch.io/kenney-shape

[INCOMING TRANSMISSION]

Another charity bundle with train sim world :') Please, I beg, people are going to be less likely to buy a bundle with AI slop in it. It does seem like the devs of that series are intentionally shoving it into as many charity bundles as possible as thats the only place I see the games talked about

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it. Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything Do not install them

I feel like I'm missing something? Why can't it be that a different game was cancelled, and the zero escape game announcement was pushed up to now, and just happened to have the ARG on it? ARGs are kinda his thing, they've been frequent with his and kodakas works

Just leave me here #berensart2026

There is NO ethical use of AI. Highly disappointed in my trade union.

The irony that the BBC blurred out the Protect the Dolls slogan on a Strictly contestant’s tshirt for their social accounts as “political” but will happily dedicate a two-part doc to the woman who uses her billions to fund lawsuits to persecute transgender people www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...
