Dan Johnson will design games for food @coil.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

There's a grassroots Telus boycott, and a few folks asked why we're not spearheading it. Boycotts can definitely help the resistance effort! Our capacity is just very limited; we're focused on event organizing, and fighting for a council that will block DCs entirely. #NoAI #Vancouver #VanPoli
Poster text: Tell Off Telus

We've been asked where we stand on
boycotting Telus. Here's our stance:

Boycott the hell out of them.

Telus is a collaborator with the federal
government and Big Tech's anti-democratic
AI push. Applying pressure to them helps.

As a small volunteer group with limited
resources, our work is focused on the
municipal election for now. A council that
doesn't want these projects has unique and
powerful tools to fight them.

All means of resistance are important, and
work best when they are all applied
together. Boycott, vote, protest, reshare
resistance posts, and bug your reps!

Privatization wasn’t on the ballot when Canadians voted for Mark Carney. Really foul the way he’s using the blind trust so many continue to have in him to make massive, fundamental changes to Canada (hurting normal Canadians) so big companies can profit. Please pay attention.
