I've implemented perhaps the best horn I've ever seen in a car-based video entertainment Too few let you do that short tap "I'm trying to be polite but get the fuck out of the way my guy" thing Also too few have a bird that beeps along with the horn, but that's a separate issue. We've solved both.

To be clear for those of you not in the industry: a *lot* of indie devs, like the kind you've actually heard of, rely on outside investment to survive. Being in a position where you're not dependent on that is the very definition of a luxury position

For the umpteenth time: do not attack people for having an unusually shaped body, comment on the objectively evil things they do and say. This isn't hard! Being shitty about bodies/appearance while disabled people are vilified for being seen in public feeds into ableist rhetoric.

Folks, I'm happy to announce my next game will use up all water, destroy humanity in a global blaze, & lose $8 billion weekly. IPO starts at a 20 gazillion euros valuation based on me counting the amount of zeroes wrong. Upon checking the prototype I realized bigger number is better. Supersentience.

thinking about where block game lands on the player expression spectrum compared to minecraft and vintage story minecraft seems to care only about player expression to the point its "world" is an abstract thing that functions as a canvas for players with some bits thrown in to stimulate loretubers

If you've seen Majuular"s UO video (m.youtube.com/watch?v=35SK...), this is what I mean when I say Block Game is inspired by ultima. I want Block Game to be a similar canvas for player expression, just in smaller self policing communities without the issues anonymity causes because it's not an MMO

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

If you want to see indie projects succeed, you have to spearhead the support for them. Talk openly about other people’s work and how much you like it, draw fanart, reshare content about the project, send it to a friend, leave comments on every update, donate money, etc.
