Yeah none of my games use generative AI either.
There's plenty of ways to use to do things faster without doing it, and frankly, it's pretty bad and backwards looking.
So much of making a game is important specific decisions, not a slop made out of the average of what exists.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

All games should tell you when the last save was when you go to quit.

So this is from my year book from over 25 years ago when I graduated High School.
Now I'm a 21+ year industry vet and I've worked on a ton of titles, including Fallout and Skyrim and then went indie.
How do you think I did? lol😆
"Goals: To make the best game ever." haha

For the first time ever, The Axis Unseen is 50% off on Steam! 🔥
It's a perfect game for Halloween, you hunt monsters from folklore and it has a heavy metal soundtrack🎃🤘
I'm working on my next game which is more of a 1980s horror game and buying this helps me do that!

This is such an awesome game and it's only gotten better with post-launch updates. Highly recommend if you like the idea of stepping into the role of a monster hunter exploring a landscape that's like every Iron Maiden album cover ever stitched together into one rad world.

A truly singular take on the open-world FPS. Like the Oblivion stealth-archer experience expanded into an entire rough-edged but creative (and weird game about hunting and being hunted by monsters in a strange haunted forest.
No towns, no dialogue, just you, a bow and scattered ruins.

I've been a bit quiet lately because I'm working on my third game.
I haven't formally announced it yet, but I will say, if you like 1980s horror or synthwave music, you'll probably like what I'm up to.
