I wonder if there's a parallel universe out there where the optimism we had in the 90s for the future was warranted

Help re: AGS and Steam
On Godot/Unity you pass the app id at init time and you can set achievements from the engine run. They work even if you run the game from the exe, but achievos in my AGS games only work if launched via Steam.
I need to be able to set them "from outside". Is there a way?

Got a few days off so working on my "Reverse Castlevania" game, where you have to light a bunch of candles in a castle full of monsters. Finally was able to get my hands on a set of graphical assets that I can use without having to rely on ripped sprites. Very early in the design process.

All I'm saying is, why hasn't anyone made a movie called "The Vampire Bats" about an all Dracula baseball team?

Some people have their heads so far up their own behinds that when they try to sell you BS, they are so used to the smell they don't realize that they reek of it.

Back in MY day we played BULLSHIT HARD games dying over and over again for hours just to get a SHITTY congratulations screen and WE didn't LIKE it!

That's why more games have proper endings now.

I vastly prefer and will continue to use human made stuff, but I think we are coming closer and closer to audiences just accepting AI stuff as normal. Once we cross that line there's no going back.

I'm starting to believe that after meeting many intelligent women, that girls did indeed not go to Jupiter to get more stupider.

We've been rused the entire time!

This is why I'll never be a professional #gamedev

(Don't get excited, prototyping a project with ripped sprites.)

Has anyone released a game on Steam that is actually a compilation of many separate games?
I'd love to put my jam games in there, but I can't merge them into a single exe, so I'd have like a launcher as main exe but then it's just 10 separate games.
Does anyone know if it can be done?
