A lil spinning goober blob for one of HyperTyper2000's boss fights! He's purple, he spins, and he'll be sitting on someone's head. What a guy. #pixelart #gamedev #3d #blender

debuting as part of @aftermath.site's hater week, here's my list of (so far) over 50 video game studios that are rejecting generative AI, each with their rationale for doing so
D-CELL Games
Games: Unbeatable

Steam page

“Even if I’m just looking at this in the cold mercenary MBA freak way—the ‘I want to generate income as much as possible’ way—you can’t make a thing people want to buy if the thing you want to buy is the same thing everyone else has. And that’s what you fucking get with AI models. It’s definitionally part of how they work. 

So all using [AI] will do is make you compete worse. You have to do laps on a hamster wheel to arrive at the opposite conclusion. Because the only way to actually make money on this shit besides a pump-and-dump is to be the guy selling the shovels. And even the shovels are starting to rust.

Even the stuff that sounds good or looks good for a given value of ‘good’ (i.e. it convincingly looks at a glance like it wasn’t generated with a machine, it’s ‘professional’) is only capable of spitting out inputs that existed before. You can feel it in the ‘choices’ it makes, because it doesn’t make choices; it chooses a value with a weight given by a model patched from every work at once on fast forward. The nutritional value of AI work is approximately identical to watching a 2000s horror movie trailer compilation at 4X speed while second-screening Maury transcriptions. It might be fun to look at, but it will kill you on the inside."

honestly the best idea Ive had for this game in months #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame
A tooltip is showing information about a card in the roguelike deckbuilder: Bellua. The tooltip reads: "Blort: Lazy." Aside is another tooltip with the definition for the keyword "Lazy" it reads: "Lazy: this gubler is too eepy to attack."
