I'm going to start putting together some free info and resources for indie game devs looking to self-publish. I see a lot of people making simple mistakes, and hear a lot about being overwhelmed by what they need to do.
Do folk have specific self-publishing questions they'd want answered?

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

Vince Gilligan says he will never use ChatGPT and wasn't thinking about AI when he wrote 'Pluribus'
The only way he'd use ChatGPT is if someone 'held a shotgun to my head and made me do it'

Texturing in blender with ucupaint
What is ucupaint? Ucupaint is a free and open-source layering and baking addon for blender. It abstracts away the shader graph into a layer stack to allow texturing with layers rather than nodes:

Godot auto-switches between 3D/2D views when you select nodes. This is great usually, but sometimes you need to see the 3D view while editing 2D properties, or vice versa. I made a little addon which lets me lock the auto-switch. Manual switching is still allowed.

There’s no such thing as neutral technology.
Every tool encodes the values of the people who made it — their goals, their blind spots, their priorities.
When organizations adopt tools without asking whose values they’re importing, they take on risk they can’t see.
