During summer, I've learnt to develop a multiplayer system using the latest Unity 6 features.

As a result, I've made this little cozy game to play and hang out with your friends in a cute little lowpoly forest.

I hope you have fun!

“Ultimately, the collective strategy of AI companies threatens to deskill precisely those people who are essential for society to function(…) automation of knowledge and culture by private companies is a worrying prospect – conjuring dystopian and outright fascistic scenarios.” — @olivia.science
AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education
Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation

Bread is now woke, according to Alex Phillips

Microsoft just pulled a classic bait-and-switch tactic by ending free #Office licenses for NPOs. 😡 

Don't let Big Tech lure you into their platforms with "free" offerings. Open source alternatives like Linux + Tuta put YOU in control. ✊

Because you deserve better. ❤️

"We use coding agents like junior developers".

Cool. So you get the dual benefits of it being slower than an experienced developer to get a half-decent result *and* it never learns.

Bargain!

When I see posts on social media complaining about the reliability of LLMs in generating code, there are 2 distinct kinds of replies from the "A.I." boosters that amount to:

* "You must be throwing the dice wrong."

* "Are you using the latest dice?"

They are never accompanied by a demonstration.

Felix Falk, Managing Director of game – The German Games Industry Association, on the current debate surrounding #overblocking on #gaming platforms.

#steam #itchio #gamedevs #indiegamedevs #gamedevelopment #indiegames #gamingplatforms #diversity
"The artistic freedom of game developers is fundamental to games as a cultural medium. Any restrictions imposed by payment service providers or gaming platforms must not exceed the legal limits. In Germany, thanks in part to the USK, clear, binding, and established rules apply that must be adhered to. Furthermore, creative forms of expression or certain themes in games, such as diversity, must not be targeted by individual interests or campaigns from particularly vocal groups, as is currently being observed on Steam or itch.io. The terms and conditions of global payment service providers such as Visa, Mastercard, or PayPal must not conflict with European values such as freedom of expression or artistic freedom. We therefore call on the companies involved to design their rules and offerings in a manner that ensures compliance with applicable laws and prevents overblocking.'

AI naïvity: When we presented a detailed study about the Danish game industry last month, a young audience member asked us why we hadn't just asked ChatGPT? He apparently thought that AIs knew "everything", and didn't see any reason why you would gather new data. That is a problem.
