Lots of work on collision handling this week. Things are a bit tricky when your character is a rotating rectangle. But I might have gotten it to a state where the tank bounces off of stuff correctly. Next we bounce some enemies off of the tank! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godot

There is simply nothing to understand when dealing with an irrational monument to stakeholder greed that is the game industry. There is no economics beyond padding out the quarter.

Halucidate verb To confidently explain something that is wrong or does not exist. Example: The CEO is wet because his AI halucidated him on how everyone is jumping off a bridge.

“GenAI is great for parts of the game you don’t care about” Wait. Is that an option?

I'm getting better at picking up text that was written by AI. Especially Claude. I wonder if someday this becomes a common skill and my dyslexia turns into an advantage by making my less-than-perfect text look more human and stand out.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

A graphical asset in the shape of a cog. It contains the following text 'This developer assures that NO GEN AI' was used in this indie game

Is it possible this whole A.I. Doomsday scenario that people in the industry keep warning about is them trying to save face while abandoning further development of A.I. as the bubble bursts? Especially since Trump's government *refuses* to regulate in a way that would limit future development.

Prototyping some gameplay for the gay little tank I put together using @kenney.nl's Asset Forge (kenney.nl/tools/asset-...) I'm thinking a top-down, twin stick shooter game where you fight hoards of robots controlled by evil tech billionaires. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godot #ventart

Made something for the Haunted PS1 Summer Camp jam: fenchel.itch.io/false-summit Old-school Resident Evil-like, pre-rendered backgrounds, tank controls, slight misunderstanding of the theme, and some missing polish (it’s a jam game after all). #gamedev #godot

Got Asset Forge to make some prototyping assets. Playing around with a game idea where queer people in tanks fight tech oligarchs and their AI armies to dethrone capitalism. "Respect people's pronouns or I'll turn your pronouns into has/been" - says the femboy twink gunner.

Screenshot from Asset Forge showing a modified example tank model. The tank has headlights that look like eyes and a bumper grill that looks like a grin. It has a canon, rocket launcher and a machine gun attached to the turret. There is a trans flag attached to the turret antenna.

many people (including myself) leave a lot of tabs open. imo it is in part because we are missing an interface paradigm akin to the dog-eared book or physically situating research materials on your desk in known locations. tabs are the thing which most closely resembles that.

You can't live on cheese alone! Here's a quick peek at the hydroponics wing of the Precursor bunker that you might discover during your mining expedition in How to Mine for Cheese! ⛏️🧀 #gamedev #indiegame #godot

Screenshot from a video 3D first person perspective video game.
The player is looking through a doorway into the the hydroponics room in an underground structure. The scene is lit with glow sticks which show the shapes of plant racks further inside the room.

Screenshot from a 3D first person perspective game.
The player is standing in a circular ancient hydroponics chamber. There are rows of planters along the walls. Several dead trees are in the central floor fixture. There is a ring of artificial lights above the dead trees.

The player is looking down multiple rows of pillars surrounded with planters positioned inside a long abandoned hydroponics facility.

Gen AI is not automation. Automation converts inputs to outputs with reduce human involvement - inputs reliably determining outputs. An automated process must be 100% predictable. Abacus to calculator to Excel: 2+2 = 4 If AI can hallucinate a random result, it can not be called automation.
