I fell in love with dry landscapes while traveling and now I'm making a game about it! In WATERFUL you guide water through tiny desert valleys and let plants grow. Discover the animals attracted to the new habitats and solve tiny puzzles. Can you see the resemblance?

Inventing cards in paper is so so so so much easier than converting them to flexible interpretable code that a user can easily modify. When this card deals damage with a cannon, that damage is doubled. Sounds easy right? Oh no no no. No no no no no no no.

I've made some changes to the sticker book so it can hopefully explain better where to find which animal. I liked the old photo album vibes but I think the cutout shows better what shape is needed to create the biome. Which version do you like best? 🤔

Great Journalism changes how you see the world. Old Man Murray's Time To Crate system was great journalism.

Blood 2 (Demo)
StC: 3 seconds
Notes: You start in an elevator. The elevator doors open to reveal a mother crate and its young.
Comments:
Kevin: This shot reminds me: You'll see games with forklifts and crates, but you won't see one goddamn pallet. You know what a pallet is right? Yeah, you worked at the warehouse, you know. But all these whiny bitches who go to college on their parents' money and then design games have never been inside a real fucking warehouse and have no fucking clue that in order to move a fucking crate, you need to have a goddamn pallet. Hey Monolith, how'd that fucking box get in there?

Abomination
StC: 5 seconds
Notes: You have to click through a bunch of maps to get to the crates.
Comments:
Chet: There's actually a pallet here. Unfortunately, it's sitting next to the crates. It's like the designers knew the pallets had something to do with crates, but weren't sure what, so they just scattered a few around them.

[Day 12] I fell sick and spent yesterday sleeping and binging StS 2. I'm not quite well again, so instead of coding I'll finish the write up so I can turn the project in tomorrow. I hope, I'll find the time to refine the prototype. Sorry for the anticlimactic ending! #indiedev #gamedev

[Day 11] (and a half) So, I have been working yesterday for like 3 hours and ironed out the problems with the map markers, but now I have goblins in my mind that force me to clean up and overcomplicate my nodes with static behaviors instead of working on productive aspects. #indiedev #gamedev

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

Its a little frustrating. I really like the feature, but: - I have several small bugs - readability needs definitevely another pass - I couldn't playtest yet - I wanted to be done today - I have to submit it all next week. See you Sunday then. I'm booked out in the meantime. #indiedev #gamedev

[Day 10] Programming is always an emotional rollercoaster for me. You know? Your interface for pointer input ( Unity deprecated the monobehavior inherent methods. how could they?) can't register clicks on nothing, if you only ever send input events to those objects. #indidedev #gamedev

[Day 9] Started to clean up code to make the implementation of different connector highlighting stages easier and to prepare for the waypoint feature. The latter will be quite complicated probably, as I need to layer the algorithm for each marked waypoint. Let's see. #indiedev #gamedev

[Day 7] Hey, y'all! Today the nodes are the first priority. I put together some "combat" encounters. Now I need a shop, need to repair the exit and build a start node with a bonus you can choose. Oh and the points and money mechanics. Looks like ass, but thats fine. #indiedev #gamedev

I was a little more polite

We’re currently planning a campaign around the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco (March 9–13 at Moscone Center), with content expected to go live around March 20. We’d love to explore a potential collaboration with you for this activation.

This campaign showcases how AI has grown into a powerful, real-world solution for the game development industry. It now supports the full development process, from production and team collaboration to cross-platform performance and game security.

The main audience we’re targeting is game developers and other industry professionals. For context, this campaign runs in collaboration with Tencent, so the focus is on deep and relevant game development insights.

Hi ___,
I, and virtually everyone I talked to at GDC, views AI as essentially the death knell of our industry. I deeply hope your effort is not successful!

Sincerely,
Jacob Geller
