So many devs from the old days are using AI. So many legends. Just throwing their legacies in the trash. 🗑️🚮

Tom Hudson (who made DEGAS/Elite) also made Cyber Sculpt & the 'Cyber Studio' family for the #AtariST, under Gary Yoss's Yoss Group. They went on to make Autodesk Studio Release 2. It evolved into 3ds Max, officially acquired & finally now #Autodesk #3DSMax. Still alive. Quite the #3D legacy legend.

Stereo Cad-3D, later to join the Yoss Group be renamed Cyber CAD / Cyber Sculpt and become the flagship of the Cyber Studio along with Cyber Paint. (also turned into Animator Pro for PC by GNOME Project decoding Legend Jim Kent )

The 486dx (math coprocessor required) Autodesk 3D Studio Release 2.0. Famous for early 3D entertainment such as the original Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo animated sequences & intros.

3D Studio Max 2, release 2.5, 1999 - The historic commercial success and industry leader in video game/entertainment 3D for decades.

Hiraku Yabuki did a Japanese conversion for me that we released last year got featured. 2,600+ sales for Apple (at reduced price) only around 400 for GooglePlay at the same price. But it was a life saver. This time (QuestLord 2) we will be ready with Japanese translation at launch!(and a few more!)

The game has released! #ruinsOfCalaworm is a lovingly rework from an obscure early 90s German Dungeon Crawler. Think #roguelike but earlier: no ranged, no builds, few stats, deceptively simple. Just You and then Dungeon, bumping into Witches and Eldritch Horrors. --> Get it on @itch.io (Link in Bio)

I am more strengthened in my resolve than I am sad or broken hearted over Dolly's passing. As a Texan child born in 1972 I grew up with her & that sweet loving nature. Bye bye sweet Queen & thanks for the lessons in life. It's hard out there and you gotta be tough. My fav dolly song as kid😅 :

Watching dev I've known for decades get absolute radio silenced on his 4th attempt at an AI makeover. He just went all in. About to rush release his 3rd project in as many months. Throwing slop. It's brutal.☹️ It's like he took a torch to 15 years of his indie work.🔥 There's no recovering from that.

So here's how i'm using those pixel-art floppy disks in MartyPC. Drag a disk image onto MartyPC's window and you can drop it onto the drive you want to mount it in. #retrocomputing #emulation #martypc

It's nice knowing people don't mind if I don't use AI to game dev. Some even prefer it that way. That's a rather soothing feeling. 🧘‍♂️
