I'm also against the OSA as it is now because it's an overreaching law effectively designed to control what everyone has access to, rather than it being used to protect kids, as has been claimed!
I probably should just consider starting my main plans from February next year, mainly because that gives me time to put systems and other things in place, although at the same time, I want to start one small monthly thing in January.

I have at least been doing stuff in the background though, that-

This supposed traditional artist and musician followed me. Despite having an explicit "fuck ai" in his bio, something about him set off my bullshit detector.

So, I checked out his Bandcamp. Over 70 albums and EPs, all done since March of this year.

Come on, man, at least be subtle about it.

@digiphile-team.bsky.social you guys really need to make better use of space on mobile, you can barely read or see anything. There is no need for things to be so big

Ironically, I ask myself these questions sometimes, and I don't always know the answers!

Yet again, I'm building another spreadsheet, this one being a matrix of what games can run on what system spec, based on the OS or source port, so I can tell at a glance what I can put on the storage for each system!

RIP To @burgerbecky.bsky.social - someone I knew from the 90's when I was in the game industry. Recently met up at an event at the Videogame Museum in Frisco - first time face to face since the 90's. Super glad I got to do that. As someone who has survived cancer, basically.. FUCK CANCER.

This is a fascinating event on multiple levels, to the extent that it was the subject of studies IRL

Remember everyone, when you look back at your life you'll remember the cool shit you tried, even if you failed, way more than you remember the boring safe choices.

For indie game devs specifically, maybe your game fails, but you'll remember making a game more than working a safe desk job.

Billion dollar a year franchise uses huge amounts of AI assets.

This is what the big publisher's (ActivisionBlizzard/EA/etc) want. £70/$70 price, minimal cost to develop. All to increase profit margins on an already massively profitable product.

My dad was the bassist of this band back in 1989. They turned down fame in favour of enjoying themselves, but I legitimately love his stuff and felt it'd be a disservice not to let people in on this hidden gem.

Added some sprites, and a basic animation system. I guess the inspiration is a bit clearer now
