Exciting news: @allenriley.com and I will be showing Hypnogenesis at the Experimental Games Showcase at @officialgdc.bsky.social
We'll be talking about using video synthesis techniques to make video feedback a core gameplay mechanic.

Working on an attract mode for Hypnogenesis today. I wrote a little AI that does a reasonable job of playing the game. Enough that I can drop it into any room let it do its thing.
Bonus is that the title plays with a lot of the game feedback in a fun way.
