It depends, do you consider scammers as regular people? AI is the ultimate tool for them!

BIG NEWS! I'm working on my first solo game, WITCHLIGHT WOODS, and I now have a Steam page!

It's a narrative horror game, blending fairy tale fright with psychological horror; consider wishlisting the game, it's a huge help! store.steampowered.com/app/3913130/Witchlight_Woods

ON A BESOIN DE VOUS

La continuité des revenus va bientôt être discutée au Sénat et à l'Assemblée.

La continuité des revenus, ce serait la possibilité de cotiser pour toucher un petit revenu entre deux contrats, comme les intermittents.

Oui on va le redire : la HONTE sur Dear Villagers, publisher français qui cède à une campagne de pression de l'extrême-droite et jette sous le bus la team Caravan SandWitch, alors qu'elle est ciblée par la tête de file du GamerGate.
(Condamnant au passage tout "discours haineux" contre les nazis 🙃)

Tweet de Grummz, contenant le screenshot d'un tweet de Caravan SandWitch dev. Le tweet de Caravan SandWitch dit : "One year since the release of Caravan SandWitch! Also a fascist got 360 noscope. What a week!". Grummz réagit en disant : "Posted today. Steam should deplatform this game instead of taking down stuff that Visa/Mastercard doesn't like"

Tweet de Dear Villagers. "We are aware of recent tweets posted by the developers of Caravan SandWitch on their own accounts. We want to be clear: Dear Villagers firmly condemns hate speech and any call to violence. These values guide us within our team and with all our partners, we believe that human life should never be treated lightly.

We will be addressing this matter directly with the developers. While we support creative freedom, such freedom must always be exercised with dignity and respect.

— The Dear Villagers Team"

The base of the dialogue system is working ! I'll soon add text effects and emotes for the characters, that's going to be ultra JUICY !
I'm so eager to see that in action with the final character designs by @janeprigent.bsky.social, and dialogues by @juleeeeeee.pointnthink.fr !

i know i haven't posted much about game making, but rest assured I really never stopped. I just didn't have anything to show.

But big things are coming for the near future

Yay, it turns out AI coding is actually WORSE for productivity, while making coders think they are more productive.
AI is only good at a one thing : deception

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up

78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

pro gamedev tip : when balancing, instead of testing stuff, just put the highest possible value for every variable, it saves a lot of time and ensures the BEST experience for the player!

I'm working on a new game! It is a cozy and tiny wildpark management game, where you try to attract mysterious creatures and take photos of them!
Here is a work in progress of the planting mechanic!

Comme le premier jeu en fait non? A part pour le grinding.
De toute façon quelles que soient les qualités du jeu la hype est exagérée, perso je vais attendre quelques mois que ça soit retombé pour le tester, je sais que je vais être déçu si je le fais tout de suite.
