I keep thinking that the proponents of AI dislike learning

it feels so good when something not only clicks but becomes a natural flow - I have a fundamental disconnect from people who don’t value this experience

Yeah this was the one game trailer from the game awards that I immediately shared to friends, love the visual flavor and intrigued by the game mechanics

The import tax collectors look like byzantine cataphract but its a wooly bactrian camel with ceramic lamellar armor

“An itinerant fishmonger living on a chain of subarctic forested islands controlled by the vestiges of fallen empire slipping into theocracy”

Limited metal ores near the surface, so… tools are: Bone? Stone? Glass? Ceramic?

Here is where I would happily run off for research!

Yes!
You can quickly build a character by answering some basic questions about the world they live in and then looking for real-world examples

And then extrapolate on what you’ve learned from the many peoples who have come before us

Full agreement, State Trooper made enough of an impression on me that I made a mini comicbook about it in my senior year at art school

So easy to project a backstory onto that poor soldier, could build a world around the forces that created them

I bet that necromancer can cook up some tasty soup

Definitely agree about a midtoned background, thats a must for ipad as well as cinitiq or intuos

One thing that stands out in the responses i got was that genAI takes away the very thing that makes making a game so fun. It's fun and worthwhile to do BECAUSE it is hard, because the contraints force creative thinking, and that is in that tension point beauty is found.

My karate teachers referred to tiger balm in hushed tones in the 90s, when it was not as easy to buy. Now that I’m in my late 40s I need to remember to use when I sleep or sneeze wrong (instead of when I take a kick wrong)

But also, that thing looks proper quick… competitive sweeping maybe?

New life ambition: “interstellar street sweeper”

I saw the portrait and signed up on the hunch that it was Gita and could read more of their columns

I was _fuming_ when I listened to this one

Ah crap didnt go up high enough in the previous replies to see thats what you were responding to

There’s a great podcast called Sold a Story that dissects how this came to be

Ok so I had this on my wishlist already, but i feel like I’m seeing it for the first time

(definitely in alignment with your “post about your indie game more please” sentiment)
