there is a genre of person who hates AI in *their* field but sees how it could be useful in *other,* less prestigious, fields; ignore them. they are not trying to save the ship. they are just racing you to the lifeboats
Translators, illustrators, researchers and editors all do creative, human work that is important and cannot be reproduced in part or in whole by AI any more than writers. Their interests are our interests. To legitimize the use of AI to replace them is a failure of principle as much as strategy.

still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider:

we all have better shit to do than talk about people who piss themselves thinking about intentional game design instead of cargo cult shit

just a reminder that no matter how bad you are at any kind of art, people who use AI are your lessers *cute pose* and you are worth more intrinsically than they will ever be *swings arm over head and points microphone at the crowd* and those who lack empathy don't deserve it in return. *cute pose*

gotta say, i know its just the easiest solution but i love playing a game and they've clearly got like a sidescrolling sequence but it's wrapped around an object to make it look like you're running on the outside of a cylinder and when you fire projectiles they wrap too
it's like weirdly endearing.

While the plagiarism and anti-labor aspects of AI are obviously super bad, this is an aspect that imo we really need to push more re: anti-AI messaging.

its propping up climate-destroying industries and is a MASSIVE resource drain at a time where our resources should really be used more wisely
“They only use genAI for internal use”

“It’s just for generating some ideas, it’s not even really more efficient”

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road!

We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!
December 20, 2025 at 8:26 PM
just a casual reminder that any dev that doesn't use gen AI is just better than ones that do, flat out. If you use gen Ai you are a shit dev and I think you should quit games entirely
get the fuck out of this industry

I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore.

More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.
