It's hard to explain, but there's such a vibrancy, twist and polish in every @aerialknight.com title I've played so far, that even if the games are very different genres there's just a cohesive thread and style to each entry that it's nice to see indies that can keep releasing new, and fun titles

Even ignoring everything else happening in the world right now, I'm already in hell because I have to add gamepad support to a game I designed for mouse input only.

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

Just wanted to see how busted things in the PC building world were. I built my current desktop (mini ITX, AMD 9700x, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 4TB M2 SSD, GTX 5060) for $1266 all in. Similar desktop build today is $3150. I can get it down to maybe like $2700 if I am very thrifty. That's too much man

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

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.

Tired of talking about this with people but I feel as a poc person I need to be doing a “certain type of game” to get attention from those promoting poc games (hard societal discussions game) or (wholesome game) otherwise it’s unfitting for my societal place and won’t be accepted for opportunities
