My indie work includes interactive fiction, visual novels, plays, and tabletop games
A lot of my work deals with gender and queerness!

The low-angel Frieren meme is genuinely inspiring. Someone braver than the troops shares a picture they know turned out weird. Thousands start sharing their own art, offering advice and laughing together at something that is genuinely hard.
No ai to be seen --- just people supporting each other.

This is a great write up about all the ethical concerns and complexities around the use of genAI in game development
I really want to highlight the points about how the way the tech is used in AAA right now is leading to inferior products (like I said yesterday, it's games' "fix it in post" era)

So hey, I'm away at a PR event. But I wanted to say it's great to see this piece connect with people.

Fun fact: I've noticed in general BlueSky audiences are aligned with it while on LinkedIn people really don't like it.
Gleam from that what you will.
