I actually got to meet Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper last year (and I was much heavier at the time, so please excuse my look in this photo!) 😅 Billie Piper was such a delight, Eccleston looked like he was so done by the time I met him, which I don't blame cause cons are can be exhausting!

We're well into Autumn, and Halloween 🎃 is slowly creeping up on us..so why not wear my favorite Autumn dress? I'll (hopefully) have a better picture of the whole outfit later! ☺️

I spent about two hours with @josepacio.bsky.social's upcoming #indiegame "Draftula" and wowie! This is an incredibly fun stacking roguelike! Sadly, I only figured the game out after I already submitted a terrible score for the nightly challenge.. but tomorrow it'll be different! 🤪

A Tale in Two Parts: Name and Shame--"Tavern: Tidy Up" by Erma Kama & Furkan Ozsoy I am really annoyed with how many people in the #indiegame dev scene are using genAI for.. well, everything! 🤮 Learn how to do these things on your own or hire people.. or don't even bother me!! #StopTheSlop

Hi Emre,

Your game uses genAI, so no thank you.

Have a nice day.

Hi Ten,

Your indie-game and retro discoveries made me think our little
medieval tavern might be an interesting small project for you to
explore and discuss.

I’m Emre Kama from Lost Pixels. A friend and I are developing
Tavern: Tidy Up, a stylised game about cleaning, organising and
tackling practical jobs in a medieval tavern.

The free PC demo is available on Steam [1]. If it appeals to you,
we’d love for you to try it and share your honest impressions.
There’s no obligation to stream or publish anything.

Here’s the full game page [2] too.

Thanks for considering our little project!

My haul from #PRGE this year! I only spent two hours there yesterday morning.. but my goodness, did I have a wonderful time! While I am not attending the con today, I am going to be -near- the con. If anyone wants to potentially say hi to me today, shoot me a DM and we can maybe arrange something!

Don't be like me and get fooled by genAI at #PRGE @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social Booth 421 "Guinea Pig Games" straight up lied to me when I asked if these stickers were hand drawn. They are not. And their website is FULL OF GENAIML I feel so foolish. Don't be like me. #StopTheSlop

Great piece! I have no idea who this is for other than those who are lazy and lack creativity. Even I, someone who knows barely anything about making games, knows of better ways to do this. Heck, I've played with GB Studio and read/watched tutorials.. I can do better than this AI garbage.

Secondly, the idea that you could give the kind of person using this platform limitless possibilities and for its big debut trailer they chose...a corridor shooter says everything about the people making this, and the user they're trying to appeal to. And third, Unity is supposed to be a tool for serious game development; this is an insult to everyone who has ever tried to actually learn how to make a video game.
