Sakurai explains his opinion on originality and AI in a new interview:
TLDR familiarity sells, but β___likesβ, games with simple mechanics, etc are at most risk of being imitated by AI because their mechanics already exist
originality, however, comes from creating something no one knows exists yet

"Hello, are you the developer of the game [insert your game name here]?"
Flexible Frosty releases on November 12, 2026 and I'm receiving two private messages like this per day on Discord.. π«

This is the new release announcement trailer I have been working on recently for Flexible Frosty.
Any thoughts?
Should I add text captions or voice over (with my own voice π«£ no AI π«)?
#indiedev#gamedev#pixelart
I can be really productive when it comes to certain tasks in game development, but when it comes to creating a trailer, itβs the complete opposite π«

Being a solo indie dev also means that sometimes you have to spend 3 extra hours after your main job debugging your game so that you can deliver a bug fix right before an important gaming event starts.. π« i'm tired now, but it feels so good i found the issue and how to fix it

Hey EU game devs, I've got a friend level designer who's an ambitious and talented team-player who's urgently in need of some work. Anything out there I can point her to?
It's that time again where I absolutely need to create a new trailer for Flexible Frosty and.. It's hard..
I think trailers are the part in gamedev I don't like :(
And you? What part of gamedev do you dislike?
#gamedev#indiedev#solodev
Yeah it's called Eternal Skies. It's like a card game, you know like Magic the Gathering, but you play the computer and there's a story. It's like the old Pokemon TCG on game boy or the old Yugioh games on handheld. Or the 1996 MTG game but that's a bit of a deep cut. It's an under served genre.
