Did Bluesky's filters break today or something? My Discovery feed is full of pro-AI stuff and uncensored hard core porn.
I'd spent ages carefully muting words and "show me less" to keep that crap out.

The LC project is just something I'm having fun with in my free time. It may never be something anyone else ever play. I have no plans to collaborate on the project as I have zero funds to properly compensate contributions. (I will not accept free labor! Artists should be paid for their skills.)

Bought some ink pens and nibs today. Drew a cat and tried to draw a deer.
I love how the metal nib pens feel to use.

Every day I look at the art for this game and I think I love it more each time. This art style just looks so cool to me.
No energy tonight. So just a little poking at something minor.
Got all these face textures. Why not use them?

If you want to see some really nice indie game art, throw "ATTENTION INDIEDEVS" into the bluesky search bar.
Finding so many really good looking projects to follow today.

The reality of working as a teacher;
I have been ill with five different infections since returning to work on January 5th.
I have never been sick more frequently, or with such a variety of illnesses, than during my time as a teacher.

Where do people post their artwork and creative projects these days?
I logged into artstation for the first time in years and hated everything about the new layout (the AI BS not withstanding).

I was helping with a friends indie game, a #lowpoly survival horror game inspired by the first Silent Hill.
It's been delayed by nearly a year but, I can post some of the prop assets I made for it.

Just sat with someone for 8 hours while they tried to use ChatGPT to code an elevator to show me how "good" AI is now...
They ended up with an utterly broken mess. At least I got some drawing done.
AI gamedev is trash.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.

Today's #gamedesign train wreck discourse seems to be implying that "game design" isn't art and more akin to pulling the wings off a butterfly.

There's no need to "host" a hastag, it only give you visibility and buries everyone who replies while boosting you. It's so insincere and self serving.
Encourage others to use the hastags independently.
I was hoping this would disappear with twitter.

I like this thing.
But if I like it, the algorithm will then flood my timeline with things arbitrarily connected.
So I won't like it.
