Am I the only one skeptical about modern developers focusing so much on making AI look and sound like humans? Is it god’s syndrome “create them to reflect their image” kind of thing? Because what I need from AI as an individual is do the mundane tasks and be recognizable. I don’t need it to be able to impersonate a virtual friend or anything.

Good morning you adorable bunch of lovely people. I'd love to know what you're playing today!

Live streamers with cosy, inclusive communities, have you got anything good on? Let's be friends! What's hot in your world today?

@PixelBandits I got from subscription the Immortals of Avenum and it is surprisingly fun game! They did elevated the BioShock gameplay, with not so subtle, but epic fantasy story in a unique setting. A bit rough, but not to stand in between you and fun. Feels like it deserves much more that it got last years release…

Today I tried what Geometry Script is in Unreal Engine 5. Cool features, but I won't use it for the game. Maybe only as tools for level design

Sooo how do we protect the web from AI-enshittification? A new search engine? Perhaps powered by human curation? Easier self-publishing via better social media? Something else?

glukozavr,
@glukozavr@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@scott @jonikorpi That’s an interesting question! I think that there will be little point to search for information as eventually anything will be accessible through some AI assistant. So the only reason to look for other is if you seek discussion and interaction. So the focus can be on building communities around stuff you like.

@glukozavr@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@jonikorpi Well, on the other part of this optimism I think of possibility of military technology race that ends up with rogue AI exterminating humans, but then nobody will care for the web 😁

Reading through by Jason Schreier and it triggers me so much.

That’s an essence of what is wrong with this world. This obsessiveness over exponential growth. with no safeguards that can burn the world to ashes. Exterminating every authentic bit for the sake of optimizing for raw profit.

That’s not what games should be about. That’s not what business should be about.

Page photo with highlighted text: EA weren't content hitting singles and doubles; they demanded home runs. Executives at EA needed to show shareholders that their profis were growing exponentially every year… "This idea that if I made $10 million this year, I’m successful, but if next year I make $10 million, I'm not. My stock goes down. I'm not showing growth."
Page photo with highlighted text: From EA's point of view, if Dead Space wasn't growing exponentially, then it must be niche, and if it was niche, then EA wanted nothing to do with it, even if it was profitable.

New book arrived

@bookstodon

The back of the book reads: Step into the authentic Ukrainian kitchen and discover the story of this extraordinary nation through its food. Now, more than ever, Ukrainian cuisine and culture deserve to be known around the world. Here, Yevhen Klopotenko shares modern recipes for the dishes that best express Ukraine's unique culinary heritage and define the independent spirit of its people. Klopotenko is Ukraine's most internationally celebrated chef and these recipes are the result of years of research into regional Ukrainian cooking. He has peeld back layers of propaganda to identify true Ukrainian cuisine, shaped by tradition, geography and agriculture. Known as the 'breadbasket of Europe,' Ukraine's beloved national dishes include: - Borsch, the national treasure, and its many variations - Pampushky, easy garlic bread rolls - Varenyky, dumplings stuffed with sweet or savoury fillings - Deruny, fried potato pancakes - Lviv-style cheesecake, and more Inside you'll find fresh ideas about how to use common vegetables, new approaches to fermentation and pickling, the delight of dumplings and simple baked goods, hearty long-simmered braises, and the pleasure of babka, torte, candied fruit and so much more. But this cookbook is ab out more than the food: it stands for the preservation of a culture under threat and the independence of people under attack.

@picard @bookstodon That’s an amazing one! Klopotenko is a very interesting Ukrainian chef researching Ukrainian cuisine and having special affection to experiments. Very fancy combination!

Am I correct, assuming that @tootapp is dead app? On AppStore no updates for a year and I seems not to find any activity around it anymore.

Which client would be the most versatile to work with and maybe some other services with iOS app and alive?

Many sleepless nights and finally, we went through all the stages of creating the functionality of a PlayStation 5 game and all the rounds of bureaucracy. Erra: Exordium release on the May 1. It was the longest journey and experience that can be sold for money 🤣

glukozavr,

@maxim congratulations! I wanted it for PS so hard, I will buy it again 😁 how was the experience of adapting the game? Did you need to change any controls or UI for consoles?

This moment reflects the meeting of an indie developer working on his game and trying to convince a publisher or investor to partner. Even in the dialogues, it sounds true to life, especially the last phrase: Thanks, I don't need it

@maxim that sounds sad 🥲

Finally finished Blasphemous 2! It’s an interesting game, not that enjoyable to me comparing with Dead Cells, closer to Hollow Knight, well seasoned with souls-like. Doesn’t feel fair in gameplay. But definitely creative and atmospheric. I will write more later.

Making a game with a supposedly post-apocalypse setting where you can't kill anyone is a challenge. This is the first thing I can tell you about the Game Design Document I'm currently writing

video/mp4

glukozavr,
@glukozavr@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@maxim that’s kind of expected… most of the post apocalyptic settings describing the state of the world going back to pre-historic times. And back then, well, strongest survives and weakest dies. What would be the reason for main character to avoid violence?

glukozavr,
@glukozavr@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@maxim then what is his environment? Can he be attacked or threatened by the creatures from the environment?

Game design document ( thread)

I started to write a GDD, the first points are very general: a brief description, genres and general features, basic mechanics, setting as an example of a movies, games for analysis, distinguishing features of gameplay - it can all fit on one page

I'm starting to write a game design document for a new game, I'll keep all the details under wraps until the first gameplay, but I'll show the intermediate results in the devlog. So far I can say that it will be 3D, about craft, sci-fi, in a setting similar to Aliens and The Expanse

@maxim so, a bit of a horror?😉

glukozavr,

@maxim I remember you were asking about development timeline, do you know how big the project would be? A year or 2 perhaps?

@maxim are you working in the same team? I remember you are not entirely a as solo developer, right?

    I have an idea and a rough concept for a horror game, but I'm afraid to do it 🤪

    Is it scary to do horror?

    @maxim afraid as a matter of joke, or you are having specific concerns?

    @maxim that would be cool if you had this! If you don’t mind a bit of feedback, I would recommend you make the face mask maybe a bit more shaped? It feels a bit flat. And wonder why is he holding the shotgun so strange? But I would definitely think of ordering this one 😄

    maxim, to gamedev
    @maxim@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

    I am thinking about what approach to start next year, to make one game for several years, or several games a year. Making one game for several years is extra time for marketing. But I don't want to plan a long-term project in these living conditions...
    If make a few simple games a year, it will be a hard sell

    @maxim yeah, development-wise small projects is nice, but considering the indie scene and capabilities of an almost one man team… it’s hard to make a product in a year to actually sell
