First time I've seen a Portuguese colhona sword (or carrack black sword) represented in a piece of media. I approve of this choice.

Glad to see this released to the public finally! 😄 I spent 18 months working on the bots and it was really fun. One small detail I really liked was adding the kill emoji reactions to bots. I don't know if many people will take a look at them but here's 1 min of me struggling against them today

Found this game for cheap while here in England and it looked interesting. Love the classic horror artstyle. Has anyone played it before?

Had a great time at the @aiandgames.bsky.social conference. In particular the post mortem about the AI in Space Marine 2 and the two Guerrilla games talks were very interesting!

Hope to see this become a regular occurrence, as there aren't many events dedicated to AI for games!

I've been trying my hands at designing a strategy board game these last couple of months and yesterday I tried the first full game with some friends. It went along great! Already have some stuff to change and improve and some stuff I felt that worked 😄🗺️

Also went to the Schönbrunn in Vienna and they had a section where you could try costumes 😆
Just a shame you couldn't take them inside the museum...

Apparently, not only were Chocobos real, they were vicious killing machines. Neat! 🐤
