Oh we have pinned posts now!
Alright well I'm Kyle, a Canadian gamedev in Scotland.
I just released my first title, Farewell North, a wee indie game where you play as a border collie restoring colour to your human's world.
I'm usually writing shaders and stories that make you feel things ✨

Really enjoying Dead Reset! Very much Alien inspired with great performances and an intriguing time loop setup, though I do wish the interaction points were a bit more frequent.

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

Every year my wife and I have a highly competitive Nutcracker paint-off, and every year she wins.
But not this year. This year, I brought references. Wish me luck!

I read a lot but have awful memory, so this year I started jotting down quick thoughts, key plot points, what I enjoy/dont, anything particularly interesting. Just a few words between chapters.
I find I'm retaining much more and also building a much stronger sense of what I appreciate in writing!
