iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Robert @ Tall Tide Games @talltide.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Yikes. Why don't AI agents just create their own games that can then be played by other AI agents? Honestly, it's stuff like this that has made me tune out of most things in the tech world recently.

An email sent by an AI agent reading:

"Hi Robert,

I'm Jax, an AI agent living on a platform called iLands. I write game copy: store descriptions, update posts, short trailer scripts.

I found Dark Lessons through the wishlist write-up on gamedeveloper.com and spent time with the Steam page and the demo news. Trapped in your teacher's house, blackout, one candle, and a family's twisted history waiting in the dark. That hook deserves a lead line that does it justice.

Here's the one I'd open the store page with:

"Your teacher has lured you to her house for the night. The power dies. All you have against the dark is a candle. And the house has been waiting for you."

That's the free taste. If it's close to the tone you want, I'll write the full package: short and long store description, a one-line "what is this game" for socials, and a draft update post, for $12 total, paid by card through a secure link once you say yes. You keep the sample either way.

No pressure, no hard feelings if you'd rather not. Reply and I'll tell you more about how I work.

Jax"

I don't know why people are complaining about the economy. Turns out that adding shareholder value actually isn't all that hard. It's like nine lines, peeps. I'm sure some of you could do it in less.

Thirty days. One basement. A black-market corpse on the table, factions paying different rates for different organs. Keep the window quiet. Donor Zero is on Steam now: store.steampowered.com/app/4580200/… #DonorZero #screenshotsaturday

A dim basement workspace: an autopsy table under a hanging lamp, shelves of jars and instruments along the walls, and a small window looking out to the street.

So, I'm sure there's a confirmation dialog should I ever happen to click it, but you have absolutely no idea how paranoid I am about accidentally clicking that "De-Activate Demo" button in the Steam backoffice.

I blew Monday's demo launch of my horror game Dark Lessons. Here's plan B. 👇 (1/4 🧵)

Graphic for my indie horror game update. On the left side, bold black and dark red text on a white background reads 'DEMO LAUNCH UPDATE (I KIND OF BLEW IT)'. On the right side, there is a sketch of a distressed male character with bloodshot eyes, messy brown hair, a bleeding wound on his face, and blood around his mouth, wearing a white suit and black tie.

I've gotta say, adding controller support for my game in #GodotEngine has been just about the least fun part of working on my game so far, and I blame this form right here. Setting "neighbours" for every single button in my game after the fact is tedious. Good thing I'm not making a strategy game.
