With the generous support of my ko-fi patrons, I reached my goal of funding Crimson Grace's key art! With that, I'm starting a new goal to fund some backgrounds. If you're excited about Crimson Grace, consider supporting to get your name in the credits! #indiedev #gamedev ko-fi.com/crosscouloir...

i think we should bring back the thing that old books had where there was a second, extremely long title for no clear reason (main menu shot from crimson grace) #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #visualnovel
the main menu of Crimson Grace, stylized as an antique book open to a page somewhere in the middle. the left hand page shows the menu options, while the right hand page shows the game's logo, as well as the text "Or, The Most Terrible Tragedy of the Downfall of the House of Blackwell"

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

steam reducing the max size of featured festivals to 150 mainly serves to disincentive organizers from including less well known games really appreciate Valve going out of their way to make life more difficult for people who already struggle desperately to have their games seen

sam altman is constantly talking about using AI as a babysitter so he doesn't have to talk to his kids and that ethos of "kids are just another chore to distract you from shiproom meetings, actually" is one of the new silicon valley shibboleths

Huge pet peeve: neither Steam nor Valve decided to make Deponia free until August 20. This discount is set entirely by Deponia's developer Daedalic Entertainment, with zero input from Valve. Stop crediting Valve for making consumer-friendly choices that they didn't even make.
A headline from CBR reading "Steam officially makes 9/10 hit game free to keep until August 20"
