you already know what's up

(steam sale rec thread is what's up)

Just finished this one. A really rewarding experience, leaving you in the dark and making you piece your environment together from thin bits of information. Really funny and horrifying story told through scraps of chatlogs, too. Absolutely worth your time and money.
first post on bsky, might as well plug my game?

a few days ago i released PROXIMATE, an indie horror game where you explore an abandoned deep sea lab but your only form of navigation is a shitty AI visor built by incompetent techbros

This post made me want to attempt to combine Songbirds and Lancer for the ultimate melancholic doomed mecha ttrpg
This week on the blog, I talk about the snow awards, the Songbirds pre-orders, my secret santa gift to all of you, and a small dev diary on Screaming Metal: Vector Soul.

Couldn't get the Gasparilla Bowl to play at work, so I'm watching Godzilla vs Destoroyah instead.

You've probably already seen it and sorry I can't/won't get back to every single tag, but I was among those that spoke to Edmond about the nature of concept art and the influence of AI

Thank you so much again @edmondtran.bsky.social for the opportunity and giving us a voice

(yes that is Fritz)
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

This is such a great illustration. Really presents the dungeon as a place hostile to you.
On the doors of the Outer Sanctuary are carved these words: "Let the sacred light shine to illuminate the way"

Guess what happens if you don't have such a light.

My beloved. I'd still run it today if I had an interested party. I think it does a few neat things for a crunchy, build-based rpg.
