With p5*js and @shiffman.lol as well as @phaser.io and @asebist.bsky.social my JavaScript journey started - which enabled me to do all sort of shenanigans and I am very grateful for it 🤗

Two new games are dropping soon,
follow me to not miss them!

The next million dollar idea is a Roguelike Roulette with many different balls and quests you bet on to progress at the board.
Do with that what you want, I dont have time to do that now 😂

The first draft of the main menu - it was imperative to start in the tunnels and a round menu just fits and is easy to use with controller eventually. I want to push the menus to be as #diagetic as possible.

We actually have learned in WWI how not to fight anymore.

"The following year, a few units arranged ceasefires, but the truces were not nearly as widespread as in 1914; this was, in part, due to strongly worded orders from commanders, prohibiting truces."

Never forget, who insinuates war actually.

"Do not pollute the common well."

AI has done precisely that, polluted the information ecology we all live in and draw from. Think about what YouTube was like just 3 years ago. Think about what search was like 5 years ago.

AI pollution is forced down every throat.

Random flashback: my first ever job was being a pianoplayer at my local café that later got upgraded to pianoplaying waiter.

Immediate Revision of the "Tinnemann Vette 9-7". The german team is known for its bullyish behaviour on and off the track. Their craft pretty much goes straight only. Break the slipstream if they follow you to avoid damage or get pushed out of the way with force.

Working on some new shapes for the different teams and to have more diversity in promo materials.
These are hard to do in my editor and I need to implement some mirror editing options to easily shape them without counting the transformation steps in my head to keep the two sides equal. #3d #model

For me the baffling thing is not the use of ai, but the audacity to not even check the image, brush it up and correct it to your vision.
Especially if you are a company who can PAY an artist and ENSURE the survival of a life that can help you in the future too. With art, taxes and so on.
they are removing a big australian beach christmas artwork from redfern station (a huge train station) because it's ai garbage. kangaroos have koala heads and some animals have missing limbs and one of them is WEARING A BRA

It's a bit funny when using a dynamic texture instead of a static, feels like a big achievement :D
It works, the framework holds - another feature I had on my mind and theoretic backburner for a long time until now.

Starting with the builders of those vast underground structures, a cult around St. Barbara developed. Some pilots are devoted to her and look for salvation in her arms.

I had a blast showing SerpenTiles at ViennaComicCon - no matter the age, people liked it - except the kids that were on a search for fortnite (as always 😂)

For this #RandomGameSaturday I'm going to bring one of my favorites from the PS3/360 generation. Faith's story across the rooftops of The City. Mirror's Edge. It's impossible not to play it without being overcome with the urge to run and jump, find fences to grab onto, and walls to do wall rides on.

Too stubborn to do anything else. I did (shitty) games in highschool IT and my teacher allowed it instead of whatever SQL else to learn. Dropped out of Uni bc of not learning anything about gamedesign/dev, but the programming was interesting.
Still hacking away on my own until I showed a very (1/2)

Bc I got asked, I am doing this in @phaser.io with a little magical sprinkle of old version and a lot of elbow grease :)

You can either give in to the computer- or the more conventional gods.
These are your last months on earth, so why not both maybe?

Does youtube also recommend year old already watched videos to you again lately?

There is this phase in development when you love your game and just play it. Observe, change and so on. That's a great one, because you just made your own toy to play with and you see if it gets boring or not.
Currently I am weirdly compelled to just watch it - because autopilot just does its thing.
