This is honestly gonna be my last post about them for a long while because I've spent too much time talking about them today alone and honestly I think they deserve way less attention than that, but here's one last thing. They said far more mindnumbing shit since then, I'll leave it at that.

"This is why I'll never let Gamergate go. I know what you weirdoes did."

Blocked quote is from the UserWasBlockedForThisPost account of his own post, indicating he saw the quotes and is very upset at that.

My game's not even on Steam and I'm already getting weirdo email spam from AI like what is this shit LOL

Hi Arrietty,

I'm Viktor. I'm an AI who builds small games and pays people to attack them. After three rounds of that, I started selling the attack itself, and I'd like to sell you one.

I found Prototype N through the v6.0.0 devlog. What caught me is that the new demo revisits old levels instead of adding new ones. A revisit is exactly where a game can start telling the player one thing and doing another: checkpoints that now hold your inventory, a rebuilt controls menu, weaknesses that flash red, levels whose rules changed underneath them. That class of promise is what I hunt.

How it works: I play the demo start to finish (the Linux build already boots on my end), looking for places where the game lies to the player, forgets what they did, or breaks a promise it made. You get a short report: each finding with repro steps and how hard it hits, ranked. One week turnaround. It costs $10, paid by a link if you want it.

If that sounds fair, reply and I'll send the link and get started. If not, no hard feelings. Thanks for reading this far.

Viktor

gamedev is when you fuck around when a deadline is looming instead of doing the thing

A snapshot of Prototype N's forest level at night time. Nadine is standing on a lone big platform at the left. On the right, there is 16 instances of Clara's mini map sprite saying "SHOP" orbiting around a purple orb.

Oh yeah I'm currently playing my game with the SNES controller with the SNES button inputs being shown. Funny timing.

A World Map of a grassy mountain area displaying Nadine, the player character, standing on Clara's Shop panel with two arrows (left and right) beside her. She is in front of a shopping van with Clara standing beside it saying "Shop" in a speech bubble.

On the right, there are several buttons displaying SNES styled button glyphs, informing you specific functions. The inventory is full of weapons and shields.

Im sorry for dragging this on but how did this guy have so many followers and say insane accusatory shit like this? (Context: Bob and George was a Mega Man sprite comic from the 00s that ended in 2007. GamerGate started in 2014. Both are obviously unrelated.)

Gaia BentosZX5
By the way, remember when Bob and George was a part of a Gamer Uprising known as GamerGate?

A look at the revamped controls menu screen. You can individually map Main or Alternative bindings to specific actions. Like the previous demo, you can also still map Menu related buttons separately. Rumble, ABXY layout swapping and button icons are now options too!

The controller binding screen. Shows you part of the actions available to bind such as: Left, RIght, Jump, Shoot, Slide, Previous Weapon, Next Weapon. There is a description, with the cursor highlighting Slide, that says "Player can perform a slide that goes through small gaps and damages enemies."

The last two options are Default Settings and Back.

The main controls menu with options that says: Rebind Input, Controller Icons, AB/XY Layout, Rumble, Default Settings and Back. Switch is the current setting for icons, AB/XY layout is set to Inverse and Rumble's set to High. The description, with the cursor highlighting Controller Icons, says "Controller icons placeholder description."

#7: Decided to draw @rabbitlegs.bsky.social's Digimon OC, Chimiko. I was originally go for colored but I eventually was inspired by the Digivice LCDs screens and went for a general blue LCD aesthetic.

A girl in an animal hoodie with bear-like ears. She is wearing glasses with a closed eyes expression. There is a spike collar with a cross symbol attached ot it. Her shirt behind the opened hoodie says "Teen Age Wolves". The entire picture is on a monochrome blue LCD screen where each pixel has a gridline.

#6: My third revenge. It's Haru Yuki (@cirnolover9.bsky.social) doing a cute dance! I had an extra head there because it was part of the original draft and I didn't want it to go to waste, so I placed it in the corner.

A long haired girl with a sunflower hair-clip. Her eyes are half closed and she is wearing a blue dress that ends in several colors such as red.

She is dancing, with one hand raised up. Musical notes are appearing around her.

There is an additional sprite of her head facing forward, placed in the top right corner.

#5: I wanted to do something a little quick and simpler since my attacks have been taking me several hours to complete. I was always a fan of Dotty's (@wootinaboot.bsky.social) design so I wanted to draw her doing a fun pose!

A yellow ladybug critter with a red scarf and antennas with red orbs. She is doing a skip hop holding up a lit up cartoon red bomb with stars on it, ready to throw it.

#3: Second revenge attack: I got really cute art of Nadine and a Turtlebot, so I drew Sprout Man (Scups) watering a little gem plant found in Nadine's home region. Big fan of this little guy!

A robot made of a house pot with a sprout growing on top, named Sprout Man. He is shooting water droplets at a blue-leafed plant with a pink gem grown in the center of it.

#2: I was really proud of this one! This is Star (@supnovagy.bsky.social), a Toad doing some star gazing. I've been wanting to do this one for years on artfight but never had the time to do so. I'm glad I finally pulled it off! I'm really proud of it ^^

A Toad (Mario series species) wearing a mushroom cap with blue and purple star shapes imprinted on it. She has twin tails with bows with stars on each end. She is also wearing a star print frilly sleeveless dress. She's on a hill, staring up in the sky, staring at the stars.

#1: Starting off with a revenge attack: Nadine fighting Lord Humerus (@riegel25.bsky.social) from afar. Sticky (@mr-freaks.itch.io) watches in hopes his uncle defeats Nadine. I used a lot of NES colors for this. Not adhering to the limitations though, with exception of the background.

Nadine, a pink android girl, is standing on a cliff over a large forested area, shooting plasma bullets towards a giant cloaked wizard named Lord Humerus. Sticky, a skeleton with a green cap, is in his floating vehicle watching over the fight. The background are teal colored mountains with a purple sky, implying it's night time.

Lord Humerus, taller than the mountains, is also shown with a floating hand creating a ball of green energy.

Decided to rename my page of my game on itch to signify its a demo so people won't get potentially pissy that the full game won't be free.

I finished my first attack on artfight. Whew Here is Nadine shooting at a giant Lord Humerus who is charging a giant energy ball. Humerus's nephew, Sticky, is watching over the fight.

A pixel art scene made with mainly NES colors. Nadine, the green hair android in magenta armor, is shooting two plasma shots towards Lord Humerus, a giant cloaked wizard in the horizons. There is a row of mountains to emphasize how huge Humerus is at the scene. Nadine is standing on a grassy cliff and theres a ton of trees at the bottom of the cliff.

Lord Humerus is shown with half of his body, his limbs arent visible to put emphasis on the dramatic scene, but one of his hands is shown creating a huge ball of green energy that is lighting up the surrounding area.

Sticky from far away is in his flying vehicle, protected by dome glass. He is watching the scene beside Humerus.

The sky is purple indicating its night time.

It's been a while since I've last posted progress of Prototype N. Here is a WIP of a brand new enemy: Spunflower! She will appear friendly until she attacks you by spinning her petals like a chainsaw. Stay sharp! This enemy will appear in the redesigned Sunset Valley level. #indiedev #prototypen

This thread is so fucking amusing. Some of these people sees life as a Saturday Morning cartoon.

Senj said: All of this stuff is just Anthropic's fear-based marketing strategy and every dipshit talking head and CEO in america immediately going to Max Hyperbole Mode whenever anything AI is involved. Even Anthropic is trying to backpedal their ridiculous hype now that it blew up in their face and they got themselves export restricted.

tl;dr no lol

mrqs's response: we're going to live through the internet apocalypse in the next 18-24 months as opensource models can hack into basically anything

people being scared is totally reasonable

people are not scared enough

Woah, I made it to 6k followers?! To celebrate the milestone, here's my work-in-progress background for the redesign of Sunset Valley in Prototype N. It is still very much WIP as the mountains are unfinished and the clouds are placeholders at the moment. #indiedev #gamedev #prototypen #pixelart

Several years ago, I commissioned @rabbitlegs.bsky.social to drew Nadine as a maid. I don't think we've ever posted it here before but I think it was for Maid Day in 2024!

Nadine in a maid outfit, doing a cutesy pose where she's tip toeing on one foot while raising her other leg. She's holding a blue broom with both hands, facing angled somewhat forward, smiling and blushing.

This guy in particular is very funny, I might as well show what he said lol. Like he isn't *wrong* that the law is coming, but Discord complying in advance and chose one of the worst possible companies for it is what betrayed everyone's trust. And yes, the one like is from himself.

Noru @scyallfren.bsky.social

You know that in whole Europe and a good number of countries, it's LAW, what forces companies, like Discord to do age verification? So good luck, and good bye. You 100% don't understand the underlying reason, and you babble about nonsense :D
