What you just saw was a trailer for a video game. as the trailer showed you, it has graphics to see with your eyes and sounds you can hear with your ears. And it even looks like you can push buttons and things will occur on the screen.... Please stay tuned for more updates in the future

But we finished the list + now they’re better than ever 👇👇

A design things I still struggle with and constantly check is asking the question "Is this feature compelling for the player or is this fun for the designer?" It's really easy to get into the weeds and be clever about designing something but the player never engages with it. Playtest is the answer!

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

In a few conversations, I've run into people throwing out "how is procedurally-generated game content any different from AI-generated stuff??"
