I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man. I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

I think it's pure FOMO. They dread the thought of someone else making money off this. So they'd rather join them and lose money than sit around and do nothing. Honestly? I think this FOMO drives all corporate AI implementations. It's not about winning. It's about not letting the other guy win.

Dit stond al een heel lange tijd op m'n wishlist: ik mocht een weekend lang één groep volgen tijdens de Global Game Jam. Waar ze in 48 uur een volledige extraction shooter uit de grond wisten te stampen, middenin een nerfgun-slagveld. dvhn.nl/meer/tech/in...

In drie dagen tijd moesten deze Groningers een volledige game bouwen

I always have such a weak spot for getting #merch made. The Snek Pack is adorable but they're a bit too large to use for real 😂 #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

A stickerpack I ordered with snake stickers from my next game Blemdeck! Six snake stickers are covering a couple of playing cards.

Eloquence is no longer developed by Multiverse Narratives! That name is used for narrative design services (B2B). Also using it for my own projects (B2C) causes confusion. So, I started a new studio! Blue North Games delivers games that bring innovation to the intersection of narrative and gameplay

Thank you, Harald! Working on Eloquence and then seeing players discover the symbol language and slowly become proficient is super satisfying indeed!

Haha! Thank you, good sir! Hope you and the Diorama Machine team are doing well! ;)

One of my favourite character design details in the Dark Crystal is the barely noticeable vestigial arms on the Skeksis.

Key art for the innovative narrative metroidbrainia Eloquence. It depicts the player character browsing a wheel of holographic symbols. She stands in the shoreline before an active volcano on which a village has been built.
