I make cool games.
reusing McLuhan’s terminology, we could call the type of game medias we work toward “cool”, in opposition to the “hot” mainstream forms we have nowadays; and they keep cranking it up. see Understanding Medias: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshal...
what is a good word that encompasses that type of longing-based game design?

I'm honestly starting to suspect that people who use AI are falsely accusing those who don't of using AI using sock accounts so that they have less competition. This seems to be a pretty widespread problem.
Please don't do this.
We poured years of our lives into this game and only worked with real human artists on everything: From the writing to the coding, all work was done by human hands. We do not endorse generative AI and will never use it.

Saw a YouTube of this. It looks pretty cool! Your monsters have their own AIs and personalities, and even bicker with each other.
Sick of playing the hero? Always invading the same dungeons and lairs? Endvasion is flipping that coin. Play as the monsters. Drive off those obnoxious do gooders.

I think all game devs have that one skill they're better at and the rest you have to work at. For some it's programming. Some it's coding. Me...it's story and writing.

Just discovered per my coauthors that one of my characters in my game is somehow both the guy who would say "Sir this is a Wendy's" if he worked in fast food and the customer who would make someone say "sir this is a Wendy's."
