Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

In a world where bad actors don't disclose their use of gen Ai or don't care about the impact this tech has, I think more devs should make it clear their games are crafted by themselves.
There are a ton of cool badges available online you can add to your storefronts. We made ours! :)

What scenes are the hardest and easiest for you to write?
Hardest for me: Drawn out battle scenes. Takes me forever to write because I'm trying to keep the action going.
Easiest: Dialogue. I trained on Gilmore Girls, Tolkien and Buffy lmao. Dialogue is my jam.
