I'm going to show you guys how the sausage is made and demonstrate exactly how I use AI modelling tools to create models using MY art and not an text prompt. Then how I clean it up when its required. Post what you would like me to make a video of. I have skeletons, goblins and orcs so far. 1/2

Some of you are upset that I used AI at all in Die as Heroes. Look I get it. As someone who has been making games for 30 years and also an artist, I tried to use it in the most ethical way possible. Video games are in a really weird place. Everyone is getting fired/laid off - 1/4

作为一名西方独立游戏开发者,我希望能够拓展美国以外的市场,让自己的游戏吸引更多地区的玩家。 我比较了解什么类型的游戏适合美国、欧洲和日本市场,但对于中国市场,我一直不太确定:像我这样的独立开发者,可以制作哪些规模较小的游戏,才会比较吸引中国的游戏玩家? 你是中国玩家吗?如果是的话,你有什么建议或想法吗?

I haven't abandoned War for Midgard. I just simply can't afford to make it right now. I had a few publishers that liked the game, just didn't like the price tag that came with it. So its on pause until I am better situated. It wil get made sooner or later.

No, Death Blossom will not be coming to Steam. Look, I love Steam, seriously, like love it. I got a bazillion games on it - but it goes fully against what I am trying to do with [ARCADE] Series. $1 games, DRM Free, Yours forever. Can always just get it and launch from Steam. Maybe GOG later.

Loot Spell v1.03 was such a big content update I want to try and get as many people to try it out as possible, even though the trial is totally free to play - I am running a temporary sale! $2.99! (Reg $4.99) for a very limited time! Link below. #indiedev

Loot Spell v1.03 is out. The update is massive and will probably be the last update for a little bit (aside from bugs people point out). If you haven't tried it, now would be a great time. 1 fair price, no microtransactions, no future pay for content.
