Check it out! Lots of cool games! I'm very glad to be part of this. The jam was a great experience and the work put into this collection is inspirational! It is a great opportunity to have one of my games posted on Steam as part of this collection, especially as I've just started doing gamedev 🤠

Last year I made a silly game about a rabbit in space which you can play for free on my itch.io. However, you will soon be able to play it for free on steam alongside a lot of other cool games, which makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Please check it out!

Scoot your wheels on over to the WHEELJAM COLLECTION, the absolute best collection of all time (undisputed, fight me). These guys hold a special place in my heart. Not only is this where Hot Shot got it's start, but also the community behind this jam and all it's participants is unlike any other <3

The fever dream of trying to wrap this entry up during GDC last last year is one of my favorite jam memories :) The community over at Pedalboard is really one of the shiniest nuggets in this storm of nonsense, and keeps the spirit of wheel jam alive all year 'round <3

WHEELJAM has absolutely kicked ass to run these past two years, and we wanted to try something a little different to get visibility on the games and the devs that make them, so we made a launcher and a bundle to bring some of the cool games we made to Steam!

Genuinely, this completely rules

－Recently, the game has been going viral on X for its beautiful undressing animations. I’ve even read in one of your previous interviews that the development team practiced stripping themselves as reference for the undressing animations. What was the process behind making the animations actually like?

Matsui:

I’d love to know how far that story has spread. It’s true.

First, we write a plot for each undressing scene, then draw storyboards, exactly as the original team did. Then the real work begins, because the animation is essentially all keyed by hand. A designer moves the clothing’s 3D model, frame by frame, manually. It really is pretty much like the claymation method I mentioned.

We did try automating it with physics simulation first, but it was a total failure. The cloth moved in a physically correct way, but had absolutely no allure. We learned a profound lesson: accuracy and sensuality are two unrelated properties. In the end, we accepted that humans would have to do all of it.

Then VR adds its own weight. In a normal game, if something becomes awkward, you can cut away or swap models between scenes. In VR, the player can look from any angle at any time, so none of those tricks are available. The same model has to undress convincingly no matter where you’re standing. When I described this to a designer at another studio, he said, “I would never do that.” I’ve chosen to take it as a compliment.

And then, yes, the part you’ve read about. The undressing motions themselves use motion capture, but the deeper problem was that nobody actually knew the correct rhythm and order in which a person takes off clothes. So, the directors gathered and undressed themselves as reference. “That zipper is coming down too fast.” “She’d pause once before slipping her shoulder out.” These were serious, sober discussions. For compliance reasons, the Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns team works in a walled-off section of our office – and that was the moment those walls truly earned their keep.

Got another "I don't like your game because Snorpy and Chandlo are gay" emails. If you are going to do this please remember Lizbert and Eggabell kiss in the first few minutes of the game and are gay gay lesbian gya gaaayyyyy. It's simple media literacy.

This. Good code should make you go "oh...Oh that's CLEVER" Or "Oh shit... that's how that works!" These responses are genuine and human, and the same sort of 'oh that's how that brush stroke works!' from art. It's creative writing that DOES COOL THINGS.

the problem with using genai for your projects aside from the everything is people are very interested in your passion project of 5 years but the moment you use genai the whole thing smells like some shit you threw together in 15 minutes which is NOT interesting. it damages the story of your thing.

I never really considered coding as an art form until I found out people needed to make a machine to mimic what I can do on my own and do what I do wrong.

Good thread. If you're unfamiliar with philosophy, and the limits of LLMs in an explainable way, you're really going to enjoy this thread a lot where someone unlearns a lot of the bullshit that would make someone think an LLM has qualia, intentionally, consciousness, etc etc Really great journey.

so whenever i accidentally activated the old, non-ai voice assistant i could yell "kill yourself" and it would get the message but the new, ai-powered one which I did not turn on of my own volition got snippy with me and said "i do not respond to violent language" and then shut off my music
