Did you know that Petit Grou was the main character of my first social media accounts and of my game jams when I was learning how to program? For his 13th Petit Grou Day, I will tell his story again 😃 #sologamedev #dinosaur

Fuck it. While I'm still mad, let’s talk about the apathy starting around AI. Do not let people online gaslight you into accepting the slop into your life. When you discover something you rely on has been secretly using it in the backend, you do not shrug. You don't just sigh and keep scrolling.

if you're feeling down about genAI please remember that it is a) intensely unpopular b) immensely unprofitable c) being propped up by people who NEED it to succeed, will spend any amount to create an illusion of a win but still keep failing and leaving the people they work with caked in shit

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

Today in Hungry Cat Nonogram, we released a new fresco and it's maybe my masterpiece 😅 it took me longer to work on this one but I'm so happy how it turned out, hopefully, it will be a good challenge to our players! 😃 (No spoil in the picture) Links: linktr.ee/Sev_4 #mobilegame #indiedev #pixelart

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

About sprites: I made several sprite packages along the years, and they're available on my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/sev_4games Also on itch! (And the asset store but I can't update it) Every support counts, cause I'm still struggling with burnout and I can't take much work 🥲 #digitalart #2Dartist #sprites

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder

“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.
