Some character designs of the main NPCs for the game I’m creating! It’s called Perfect Soup! They have a complex relationship with another (historians say they were best friends) #characterdesign #gamedevelopment

Mild early-game spoilers, but how else am I going to show you the #QoL feature I just added in response to player feedback at #TheGameExpo ?
Dialogue options are now greyed out after the first time you access them.
Will be added to all such multi-option persistent dialogue trees.

Steam: "Do you recommend this game?"
Me: "I recommend most games. Even games I don't like are fun to someone. Unless the devs are awful people or it's got exploitative monetization or is a shitty asset flip then it's probably worth at least trying."
Steam: "... so is that a Thumbs Up, orrrrr....?"

Went to an AI in Filmmaking panel: Some Thoughts🧵
currently mourning all of talented filmmakers, artists, game devs, musicians, writers, poets, and singers who have an deep itch in their soul that can only be scratched by creation- to have to give up the dream for sake of survival under capitalism

Just attended an AI conference at my university... Kind of disappointed about the direction we’re headed. No one seems to care about the environmental impact or ethical concerns. They instead talk about “empowering creatives” (reality: it’s more about being cheaper than artists)
