Spoke to a number of devs about how, in the face of CEOs claiming gen-AI is the future, their declaration of being genAI free is making waves.
Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’

Happy 1 year anniversary!
Today exactly 1 year ago I began developing Nothing Beyond This Point, and look how far we've come! I'm really happy to have made such progress in such a short time, and here's to the game coming out soon!

Most of the game is done.
I am still procrastinating on the giant wall that's ahead of me (ending cutscenes)

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated!

Finished #silksong. 98%.
Good game but really needs a balance patch. Too many things were too frustrating. I did get used to the double damage, but other things (double stunned/CONTACT damage, long runbacks, act 3 economy, etc) still bothered me.
So many amazing moments though. Glad to have seen em.

Silksong good. But Silksong VERY difficult.
Ran into a boss that's definitely not the final boss, but it reminded me of Hollow Knight's final boss. Uh oh. #silksong

Top-down Metroidvania playing as an "Inferno" in a giant, empty Void.
Unique health system: infinite healing, but spend health to deal damage.
Use navigation in many different forms to find your way out of the lonely darkness. #PitchYaGame #PitchYaVania #Silksong

Silksong day! And just in time, now that I've finished this mysterious giant flask... do you think it's worth tracking down and destroying? #metroidvania #gamedev

Laptop starts vibrating. I quickly turn it off, remove all cables, flip it upside down, remove some dust, flip it upside up, start it up. No issues.
Still making a game backup juuuuuuuuuuuuust in case

I, too, would enjoy pulling a Team Cherry and giving no updates, allowing me to fully focus on Making A Videogame instead of endlessly marketing it.

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

Unfortunately I don't have any good NBTP memes.
Fortunately I have many bad Full Gear memes, from my previous game.
They're great. They're awful, but they're great.
