i dont like/use ai. my 2c: ai is like the rings of power. their danger isnt actually from their intrinsic strength. Its from the perception of power it gives the user. ai is not going to kill us. people are going to kill us while under ai psychosis.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

Tech Art Experiment number I forget. Liquid rendering! Metaballs use expensive ray marching, this uses a blurred normal buffer using Godot's compositor. #gamedev #Godot

That new Halo: Combat Evolved remake has the worst "Nintendo hire this man"-itis I've ever seen. Zero art direction. Just Unreal Engine noise. Sad.

If I were petty I'd make a bot that reposts HR job postings, strings along applicants for months, then eventually ghosts them. i need them to feel my pain

every pathway to profit i’ve seen from generative ai is legit just intellectual property laundering. so depressing. cut it out

wip combat preview in Myriad. multiple npc factions will roam the map with the same goal as the player and get into interesting little fights with each other and the player. #gamedev #indiedev #psx

Myriad is an fps about conspiracy theories I want this render to make you feel paranoia #b3d #gamedev

here are some pistol animations I made. The shading is designed to evoke dark comic book art styles. Hope you like, what do you think? pls ignore the placeholder sound effects. #godot #gamedev #techart

Bike simulator is coming along nicely. This is all physics driven and the leaning really helps sell the feeling. My bike model is based on a Honda Motocompo. It's cute as hell and I want one. #gamedev #godot

I've ported Nvidia Blast destruction to Godot! I think this might actually be what red faction guerilla used 🤔 #godot #gamedev #techart

Godot Tech Art Experiment #6: Physically simulated motorbike. This is surprisingly hard! Wheels are basic spring simulation but keeping the bike upright is the challenge. I've used a PID controller to maintain balance. #godot #gamedev #techart

Godot Tech Art Experiment #5: Physically simulated structures. This technique uses a stress network and BFS to detect when pieces are unsupported. (The end effect is a bug in the simulation lol) #godot #gamedev #techart
