I guess this is my #gamedev kickoff post? Nothing exciting yet and don't expect too much - it's a deep personal passion project I am doing with the help of master artist @alexconnolly.bsky.social and music wizard @skele.bsky.social. More info soon.
Look at this perfect video game. It's literally art.
Goofy and beautiful at the same time. A classic.

I'm getting real tired of not being able to trust that a video game doesn't have AI crap in it:

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

“Our talented team with its own human hands and brains and souls decided that all this shitty art made by a computer was good enough to go in our game” is not a good defense of using AI tools to generate assets.

"we’ve assembled the largest team of artists ever for the franchise" well then get one of them to paint something like you have for every other loading screen across the game's history

Ah, the joy of interacting with another human person and feeling completely crap for the rest of the day because of it.

still looking for level design work; i'm available starting October!

i can work in unreal, unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. i've worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community modding projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2.

I might be in the need of some Unity Terrain specialists. There is no info out there and I am banging my head at the simplest things like scale and iterations. #gamedev #indiedev

One of my favorite ongoing features for Remap is Steam Vent, where we purposely play games in the "new releases" category that are getting played by almost no one. We'll try anything—unless we see the AI disclosure. Then, you'll get skipped. End of story.
Something that ran through my head as I saw descriptions for Steam Next Fest games: if the project uses gen AI, it’s an instant skip

Yes, even if it’s “just” for store assets

However it’s intended, it LOOKS like an active gap in your craft, and there’s infinite other games to spend my time on

Go play that game! It will get a 45% discount today on Steam update time as well. Great fun, highly overlooked game.
Ah, sweet. The surprisingly good Starship Troopers RTS just got another big free update. A horde/survival mode.

A while back the original campaign got an update with tweaked missions and new units too.
