And somehow the April Fools example prompt shows more imagination and curiosity than the one later put out for real
Prompt for the April Fools Unity game generator:
Make a first person shooter in space. It should be open world with different planets to explore. There should be aliens of different types. Some are hostile but others are friendly and you can tradePrompt for the actual Unity game-like-software-package extruder:
A corridor shooter set in space

An octopus losing the house on a card game
An MS Paint doddle of an octopus losing the house on a card game. The octopus is purple and is head desking on the card table. Two tentacles are pressed up against it's head like fists, two are flopping about, one is holding two losing cards and one is holding a set of house keys. The astute reader will notice that leaves two tentacles. They're out of sight functioning as legs as the octopus sits on a stool, OK? The card table has cards on show that hint that the game is Texas Hold 'Em and that the opponent may have formed a straight to win. Part of the pot is visible showing scattered poker chips, a bank note, a gold ring and a fish

I found myself on the Backrooms wiki for some reason and wanted to try almond water. Finally, a use for this bottle of syrup I've never opened! I wouldn't want to live on it but it's quite nice

Full respect to the Trepang2 devs for making a seriously fun and bonkers game but it tickles me that this is the view in the level set in Yorkshire. Take it from a Brit: there are some hills in Yorkshire but it's not the Himalayas. You'd be much more likely to see an Argos or Tesco Extra in the rain

It pains me to admit that Xenon 2 doesn't really hold up today. It might do if the collision detection was better but alas. This guy is still amazing though #Xenon2 #RetroGaming #16Bit
The alien that runs the shop in Xenon 2. Head and shoulders view. He's an orange brown alien with no hair or nose, dark eyes with no pupils and a huge mouth with a small number of large teeth. He has two tusk like things coming horizontally out of each side of his head. He's wearing earphones and what I can only describe as a cyberpunk Mad Max get up. This is all in glorious 16 bit pixel art, by the way

2. The cat doesn't run away
3. The cat wants scritches

TIL that a courgette (or zucchini) will grow to the size of a marrow but they're different cultivars and courgettes are bred to be harvested sooner. Apparently if you leave them they yield less overall. So here is the 1480g, 36 centimetre monster that we just harvested #HomeGrown #Veg

A very crude MS Paint rendering of Mimitchi the Tamagotchi sitting on a red sofa. She has bloodshot eyes, a floppy ear and a rather large reefer in one hand. She is looking a TV, apparently playing the news because a speech bubble reads, "...meanwhile the NASDAQ index continues to make modest gains against the projected..." It was the most boring thing I could think of. Mimitchi is pretty stoned, as she is chuckling at this
