You may have heard of the Turing test, but have you heard of the pirate test for AI? There are bots that trawl Steam updates, scrape Discord links, and message server owners for lead generation (I presume). We like to waste their AI credits outing the bots by asking for pirate speech #aislop #spam

A few weeks into production of #ColdSalvage, and the world is finally starting to take shape. Here’s a peek at some early WIP environments from our multiplayer horror game in progress. Cold Salvage - Explore, Repair, Survive #gamedev #horror

We've started the environmental design for #ColdSalvage, and it's always satisfying how much mood you can get out of low light and fog with #scifi #wip. The real challenge will be getting colour in to these shots, we don't want a dark depressing game. Challenges like this is why we love #indiedev 🏴‍☠️

One of the boss monsters in this DnD session looks quite familiar. DM @gareth.develops.games figured it was a nice stand in for giant spider 😆

Look, we know it's silly. You know it's silly. But all the same, are you going to miss out on seeing a giant crab-louse wearing a pirate hat? Ask CrabbyBot in our discord server for /freestuff: discord.gg/jNCNRmyMjy

It's Tech Spike Friday! What's better than one crab? Online multiplayer MULTICRAB (we are working on a small tech demo to see if this is possible. What do you think of the idea?)

We've resumed preproduction on Cold Salvage, in which you play as a blue-collar engineer on deadly repair missions. How is our crew patch looking? #indiedev #gamelogo #horrorgames #indiehorror

This one was great, a lovely twist on an Old Fashioned cocktail for our Director @gareth.develops.games

We are getting a lot more LLM-driven DMs lately across our various channels, though we're not quite sure what their purpose is yet, other than to waste our time. Some are.... easier to spot than others. #llm #spam #alig #lyricalgenius

We used this great tutorial as a basis for a "flesh nest shader" for a character customisation node: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe3b... 10/10 perfect intersection of gross and cool #madewithunity #shaders #gamedev #indiedev

Headlice has 2.5D beats, and one of our early WIP dev branches included a swimming section, to help provide a alternative level traversal mechanic. Bsky game devs - do you think this would work to break up pacing? #indiedev #gamedev #concepts #devlog #madewithunity

For our weekly no-context developer post, we have chosen a clip of the new "dynamic enemy spawn" work-in-progress. We assure you, dear reader - the hat and cigarette is critical to the plot
