Dreaded coming back from summer vacation because I felt I'd left my game project a complete mess. So it felt nice to boot it up and immediately see this. Maybe everything will be ok after all?

finally got around to playing the demo of this today after spotting it at Vancouver Game Garden and damn, stunned I haven't heard about this previously. "gorgeous story-action-scifi powerwash simulator" seems like the kind of thing everyone should be screaming about.

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.

But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.

This is Ambrosia Sky.

Over the years I’ve found exactly 1 recipe maker who manages this, and unsurprisingly she’s a literal scientist. Here’s a recent favourite, but she has plenty of other good ones on the site too: theloopywhisk.com/2024/06/29/g...

Gluten Free Burger Buns

These are the softest and fluffiest gluten free burger buns you’ll ever make – and they stay soft for days! They're also super easy to make.

I remain confused how people in my industry, the ones who built the web and benefited from its best days, can use AI. Those products, the companies, and the people behind them are choking the web to death. Is there no respect for what we’ve built?

Joni Korpi @jonikorpi.com · 7h

If DDOS attacks are illegal, AI crawler spamming should be too. They’re wearing down the most useful parts of the web in their quest to produce the least useful.

Inigo Quilez @iquilezles.bsky.social · 14h

Yeah, we only had 1 week of break between AI crawler attacks. This one is even hungrier than the last one.

In Yoshi's Island, a cave background sparkles, but only when Yoshi moves. This is achieved in an inventive way by making many 1-pixel "pinholes" in the background through which a field of stars is visible. The parallax motion shows the stars intermittently, creating sparkles.

Anyone know what’s going on with www.shadertoy.com? It’s been down for 2 days. Did it buckle under AI crawler load or something? :/ @iquilezles.bsky.social

when people say genAI is the future I am struck by how short sighted and fatalistic this is as a concept

it’s recycling our past for the future, it’s drinking our filtered waste while not thinking about how many times you can do that, it’s hoping tomorrow’s answers have already been said

We have finally released our new puzzle, the Flummoxagon! We've done more tweaking and playtesting on this than any other puzzle, and I think we've managed to make a unique and addictive game. It's turned into something completely different from our original idea

Meet the Flummoxagon

We’re excited to announce Flummoxagon, a new geometric puzzle game that might just leave you flummoxed. Imagine a mash-up of Pentominoes and Sudoku. Your goal is to fit all the pieces into the hexa…

I've been working on a #WebGL light trail effect lately, and it turns out better than expected !

I just need to refine it a little and make it easy to reuse as a regular post-processing effect, and it should bring particles animations to a new level

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I think this is bang on, and gets at a sense of what I see in play with stuff from Dwarf Fortress and Qud to Rimworld to Crusader Kings and the Sims: a desire to understand the world, whether a familiar or an alien one, through play

"'The more we try to understand what's going on in the world around us—the more we don't just withdraw into a hermitude of my family and I as a nuclear unit, the more we try to understand our society—I think the more these kinds of games speak to us,' Short said."

Founder of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud publisher Kitfox Games says its procgen sims for sickos are 'giving storytelling tools back to the people when games and passive media took them away'

Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox's own in-development "megasim," is chasing that same systems-driven storytelling.

We live in a time where there’s already more content produced by humans in a day than people can (should?) reasonably consume in a lifetime.

Why the heck do we need AI slop added to the pile, devoid of any kind of meaning or human experience?
