iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

the state of game dev subreddits is fucking awful right now they used to be a really good spot for showing off games and shit but now its just ai slop, even the genai rules dont mean shit cause we still have degens that suggest this shit

This project has been in dev for over a year now too.. and my deadline is before the 28th, hopefully I can get a map done and do some testing by then

Maybe it would be worth working on the campaign afterall to get all of those mechanics down and get mapping experience for multiplayer 🤔 hmmmm mm scope creep scope creep scope creep scope creep

Getting to the point with level design and mapping where I can go days without ideas, get a really good idea then not really know what to do with it after placing down the initial stuff. how do people do this???? I've even tried coming in with a plan and just never got anything done..

This is really making me want to me work on that idea I had for a procedural animation system for guns in my game.... Except I'm on a tight deadline and I cannot scope creep more than I already have 😭

CSLR @venitstudios.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

as tends to be the case for multi-year projects mine started as a one-off experiment that i wanted to get done within a few weeks, i guess committing to a single project for a long period of time is certainly better than constantly starting and abandoning new projects though..

Almost envious that I don't have a headset to try it out given how much I play Titanfall 2 but hardware prices are less than ideal right now...

CSLR @venitstudios.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

r/emudev was pretty much running rampant with slop emulators and then the mod team banned llm generated emulators AFTER it was a problem for a few weeks. Can't really use anything now without an LLM touching it either, cause there's a good chance your critical libraries or OS use it somewhere.

CSLR @venitstudios.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The barrier to entry in dev has been pulled so low with ai improving that actual devs have to deal with it Mods of various subreddits have been complicit with it for awhile and only started implementing rules against it when people started to complain, but it's still a problem.

CSLR @venitstudios.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It actually pisses me off how much r/indiedev has just turned into slop posting Recently it's just been people glazing ai then more recently some posts on r/godot asking for advice on vibe coding.. Unfortunately reddit seems to be one of the bigger platforms for game dev as well...

Time for more OK Go glazing! They recently released their hand bell versions of shooting the moon and return, and after listening to both original songs.... the hand bell versions are just better.

I can't even tell if this is a failed transcription or if this is from your stream because it seems like both are very possible here

finally taking some time back to focus on my mapping tool a bit more after not really knowing what to do with it, got the clipping tool to a level of functional that it wasn't before tags that im sure do nothing #godot #godotengine #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #mapping also enjoy the daft punk bgm

i'm also seeing so many devs and players alike openly protesting this and saying it will kill europe's game industry but it will absolutely have an effect worldwide. the speech proposing the bill just straight up sounds like authoritarianism as well, so fuck you, europe.

000

CSLR @venitstudios.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

like actually what the fuck? and of course the person who proposes the bill is a fuckin billion years old and probably doesnt even know how to operate a computer. honestly wouldnt be surprised if the same fuckers who said hosting minecraft servers counted as piracy are lobbying for this bill

CSLR @venitstudios.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

if the EU passes this shit im not gonna launch in europe once again, i would rather lose a customer base than bend a knee to fucking moronic lawmakers that have no idea how the fucking industry works.

That's why you put everything in instantiated scenes and then put them in the UI scene so you have some sense of organization while it's still just complete chaos. or do what I do and generate half of the user interactive UIs through code 😭

looking at leaks in lowres godot lightmaps: - dilation touches neighbors - there's no way to increase island padding, bicubic filter needs 4 texels - denoiser doesnt have island isolation - closed rooms leak through corners, probably a bias bug - unocclusion algorithm is imprecise seems solvable

another titanfall player's been making the charts on r/titanfall for also making a titanfall-like, looked at their channel and the thumbnail on the video announcing their game is ai generated, and their channel banner + pfp is also ai generated im willing to bet the game's code is also ai generated

I hope that progress picks up but I haven't been doing all that well in the creative department lately and most of my recent focus has been on sorting out future plans for both games. 😕

Sorry for not really posting about game dev progress lately, not really a lot to post about ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ The main project is still being developed to a degree but it's slowed down and is effectively on pause. My secondary project is coming together though my primary focus isn't on it.
