I got some feedback that my enemies don't stand out enough from the rest of the environmentals. I like the overall colorfulness of the scene, so I'm thinking adding a small marker to the enemies might help? #gamedev #godot #solodev #lookingforfeedback #towerdefense 🤔

Apparently, updating you app in Steam is pretty quick! 😀
The Dark Lands with its dynamic map is now live - the map provides much higher replayability for the game as its never the same map twice! 🤩

When starting a new game project, do you start with:
1) A trailer?
2) Concept visual artwork?
3) Prototyping a specific mechanic?
4) Soundtrack to establish the mood?
5) Start with a cool main menu and see where it takes you?

Task was very good, but… I feel like I might have enjoyed it a bit more if I hadn’t already seen Dope Thief (which was also very good).

Just about finished with adding a randomized level (Dark Lands) to Elevation - just need to finish some playtesting and update Steam! #godot #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #towerdefense

New levels demand new enemies... Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Sludgie, the crawling fatberg of Elevation! Shall we keep him in the game? 🤔 #screehshotsaturday #godot #towerdefense #solodev #gamedev #fatberg

Working on completely generated levels using noise maps - you have to watch out for "islanding" which messes up pathing (in a TD game, broken pathing is a broken game). You have to play around with the noise parameters a lot to ensure map cohesion #screenshotsaturday #solodev #gamedev #godot #noise

I see GEO is now a thing - that's Generative Engine Optimization for those not in the marketing realm. Its kind of like "do everything server-side, simplify the HTML, and minimize client-side JS cause AI can't parse it". The future of the web is IE 4.0 compatibility 😬🫠😭 #aiStinkyPooPoo

One more AIBlocker test - www.golden-tamarin.com/ai/testf1/ - this is a WebGL export of a single scene godot project that uses a single Rich Text Label to display some Alice in Wonderland as text - neither CoPilot nor GPT can summarize the URL. Godot as a website management tool seems to block ai.

The more times I watch Elysium, the more I like it. An entire sci-fi movie about citizenship, universal healthcare, billionaires, and over-automation - almost like Neill Blomkamp was trying to tell us something 🤔

One last #aiblocker demo with an instructional overlay and final decoding to html-ized content with an image. Going to pause on this to finish out my game app, but I can totally see how this and other techniques could be embedded into WordPress and other CMS systems.

#aiObfuscation test 3 - replace the with just tapping or clicking the text until its decoded - only takes 1-5 taps - works waaay better than a UI controller on mobile - now I think it just needs an instructional overlay and a test embedding in a full-out normal webpage. #aiblocker

Second experiment in masking content from AI - text content is sent from server encrypted with a really basic key (like "1" or "2") - user is given a slider that functions as the input to decrypt and can visually see when its correct #noAI #controlAI

Trying something I've been thinking about - you can make a webpage that looks perfectly readable to humans, but AI cannot understand. By taking all the letters in text and assigning them coordinates and then randomizing the sequence, it throws AI on a tangent #noAI
