Being extremely careful about image/video attribution isn’t JUST important for giving credit to artists and creators. It’s also a way to slightly decrease your chances of spreading deceptive AI slop!
The thing that made me most suspicious was the lack of attribution of any kind. A conveniently perfect light-up sign at the beginning that states the premise of the video but doesn’t mention the facility, for instance. (This is part of why it’s bad to share stuff if you don’t know its provenance!)

In our demo for "Fighting for Our Dreams: An Esports Visual Novel", we reused the in-game social media screen for our credits. Everybody on the team got to write a small message of whatever they wanted.

My new daily puzzle!!! It's super awesome!
For @thinkygames.com's #ThinkyCon jam, I made The Daily Spell, a daily puzzle with an ongoing narrative. ✨
My goal was to combine satisfying word puzzling with a story you'll be excited to see unfold. Try it and let me know what you think!

Just finished! This was a fun and challenging game! Some of the puzzles were pretty tricky
Me and a small team just made a "Case of the Golden Idol" inspired game for @pigsquad.com's Summer Slow Game Jam.
The game is called THE HOUSE ON [REDACTED] STREET.
Playable in-browser for FREE!
If you like it, leave a review on Itch!

Thanks so much for trying out my game! I am really proud of this one.
I just played The Family Tree from @saffrona.bsky.social. It's a short but sweet construction of a family tree. It's from the same Jam that led to The Roottrees are Dead, and it's cool to see the different paths chosen.

[Before and After: Pulsar Enemy 🌟]
This change is a lot more drastic, because I didn't know what to do the first time I made it. I just did whatever I thought looked cool. The newer version resembles an actual pulsar much more, with the radiation beams at the poles. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Another before and after! This one is a lot more dramatic in difference. A key part is that this is supposed to be the Brown Dwarf enemy, and with the color adjusted, it's easier to differentiate from the Red Giant enemy :') #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I received a Reddit comment saying that "This game concept is great, but it will inevitably fail because of the artstyle". I am now going through and redoing all of the art from scratch. Will be trying to post everyday with my progress 🫡 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Here's the reason why you see so many people beg for reviews on Steam. Virtue's Heaven got past 10 reviews this weekend and suddenly the amount of page views tripled, mostly because the game started to show up in people's discovery queues.
