so all of you indie developers and designers, what's your approach to game playtesting? how often do you do it? when do you do it? when do you find it useless? #gamedesign #gamedev

Hello bluesky sorry I have been away i have been busy working through 2 masterclasses and a project training. Apparently I will do anything except ask people for paid work because I'm stuck in a "do I really know enough? Have I done enough?" loop.

Been thinking about an idea for a game. The mechanics involve you typing out the words that you communicate to others, but you have Wernickle's Aphasia. Everything is narrative driven.

Do we have a community working in AI and foundation model safety here in Bluesky?

Saw somebody do an intro thread so I'll give this a shot too. I'll keep some details anonymous because of being queer in a not-so-queer-friendly country. As far as the Internet goes, I go by Kim (she/her). I have an undergrad in psychology, and I'll be mapping out some things that I've done (1/7)

"What do they need UX for, when users can no longer refuse?" Brilliant read.

Tiny rant here. I should not have to go on an exploring mission across 3 of your previously published papers to find out the rate of sampling for the neural recordings in your open science dataset. That's what metadata is for.

Some 3 am thoughts: For a lot of tasks, the number of features to be represented far exceed the possible activity patterns in a neural population. That's why neural population activity sometimes has subspaces that account for the majority of "task-specific" variance in the dynamics. (1/2)

We need more computational models, more intensive within subject designs, and more naturalistic tasks to make the modest but important successes of computational cognitive science capable of explaining critical phenomena in clinical, dev and soc psych. This requires new methods training across psych

Nobody's going to play your game if it never exists! The pursuit of perfection is a trap.

Below it is a drawing of a perfect circle captioned "You can make it good later", next to a screenshot of the modern version of the game.

okay so when youre not working with a tutorial, is this supposed to take you 4 hours on Unity? Am I doing something wrong?

Aaaand that's #dailyui 002 as well. I decided to do the cliche minimalism and realized in the process that negotiating elements around space really does give you an incredibly flexible framework. Depending on what you need to evoke, there's so MUCH you can do with this..... #design

Hello #hci #ai & #cogsci communities! Im currently throwing a very wide net and doing a smol literature dig into the way LLMs are audited, with a specific focus on human-AI teaming in auditing itself, and more participatory approaches as well. Im wondering if ppl here read smth interesting about it

I don't post about politics much on this account, but don't think that my games aren't political.

Whenever I read a research paper on the implications of human-AI teaming I end up remembering the Shirado and Christakis paper that added a lil noise to bot decisions in a color coordination game with heterogeneous human-bot groups and found that it improved human collaboration across the game (1/2)

So I decided to play the GTA 4 series again and when I did the museum exchange mission as Johnny and came across the pile of bodies that Niko leaves behind in his escape it really hit me how coherent the narrative is. Ex-army Niko really is a John Wick. If I was Johnny I'd have been terrified #gta

Good morning. I wake up and find out that everybody's mad at itchio. Then I go and take a look at the tea. There's no clear reason given as to why they couldn't give any advanced notice before going on the NSFW deindexing. It's also kinda silly that their update post was haphazardly written (1/2)

🧵 Space art thread 🪐 I recently got inspired by @dyamode.bsky.social to draw mobile background and always wanted to explore space as a theme, so here we go, some space themed mobile backgrounds. (soon on Ko-fi for free). 108x184, palette: bittersweet lospec #pixelart #space #digitalart

Space art cuz my recent fascination of art backgrounds for phones.

A lonely spaceship cruising between a double ringed planet and one that is illuminated by a bright white/pink star behind it. Edge lighting and dithering into the background color to help sell the empty darkness as well. Some space jellyfish on the bottom right swimming out of a fluffy space cloud. Dim stars illuminating from parsecs away.

i've been struggling w accountability in my self-learning journey for a while now, so even if nobody reads this i'm going to keep posting in this thread certain things i've done and insights while i explore game building in Unity. so here goes (1/god-knows-how-long-this-goes)

Hello bluesky! I'm a psychology undergrad looking to connect with people related to game design research, specifically cognition/behavior focused research and testing. Would anyone like to connect and maybe answer a billion questions I throw at them thru-out my learning journey? #gamedev #uxresearch
