Seems to me if you made AI (LLM) providers liable for the crimes committed by the AI, there'd very likely be no crimes.

gamedev & synthesizers // currently working on GRIST: a hyper-capitalist nightmare https://store.steampowered.com/app/2164660/Grist/
the other one was bit tooo fantasy for a game that starts out in a neon metropolis... so balanced out with some firearms and a hexmap in classic COMPUTER TIME GREEN. redid all my steam capsules etc. i think they are super readable now, especially on phone/deck.
heads up if you're out there and you played my game grist please consider leaving a review on steam it would really help us out!

Steam Party-Based RPG Fest is now live! These games let you build multiple characters, allowing you to build different archetypes for each. So gather your wizard hat, your archer bow, and your warrior shield because you're going to need them all! store.steampowered.com/category/rpg...
toying with an "interval rpg" idea where you spend a couple of minutes engaged essentially in theory-crafting, then let your adventurers run off into the big bad world and wait literally 20+ minutes real time for them to come back and tell you what happened.

Added a selective emission channel, it's pretty subtle atm but i can add a glow effect to individual glyphs, for lasers/fire/etc. Zoomed in pic to show detail.
little sketching this morning thinking about what i might do with the grist engine in the future. this is "billionaire bunker diving simulator", a game in which you raid dead billionaire's bunkers for clean drinking water, blood plasma, and crop seed.
On sale for 1 more day... if you like fever dream sci-fi fighting riot cops in neon rain before riding a world-spanning elevator system down to the feudal forest lands below where you can blast mecha with your laser eye implants, consider checking this out. and if you like it, please leave a review!

i'm sorry but this is so fucking funny. remind me again of how centrist democrats did in the last general?
had this negative-space pattern sitting around for so long i'm stoked to finally have it as a scrolling animation. got me to tidy up the background code too so it will be easier to make bgs built out of premade components going forward. most of them so far have just been fancy noise lookups
I just uploaded the latest mission, and conviently it's still on sale store.steampowered.com/app/2164660/... It's a crunchy sci-fi rpg with lots of mechanics and a plot that is as much William Gibson as it is Stanislaw Lem. Because _somebody_ has to make this stuff and it might as well be me.

i am really liking where this next mission is going
Imo it's less about the AI being non-human and more about the AI companies being anti-human.
ai might be a point where you can actually get leftist solidarity to work, as you unify identity under human vs nonhuman; a sort of artificial alien invasion
i am really liking where this next mission is going
Working up some new audio ideas, playing with a 0-coast, into the Makenoise Strega for smearing delay then the output of that into an offscreen mercury X that heavily filters the input before it hits a long reverb chain with some additional filter modulation and chorusing.
the different shaders zoomed in. the addition of a light noise in the pixel shader really gives a nice texture imo. also screws up gif encoding lol
just found this image of when i started development on Grist - isolating to care for a child with covid, on my old laptop with the keyboard that dies periodically, in a tiny room with no desk or table. just mucking about making little ascii people to a turn-base against each other...
All I want to do is fade the audio at the start and end of a clip and none of the video editing apps I've tried on my phone so far can do that. What the hell?
I am watching the women-led games showcase and I gotta say "play pinball while experiencing the full history of western philosophy" including what might've been an aristotle (?) boss fight is a really unique pitch store.steampowered.com/app/3989550/...

did you know that if you take a bottle of whiskey, pour it into a large jar and add orange peel, cinnamon, sultanas, star anise, dried apricots, slices of ginger, and wait 6-12 months you will have something absolutely perfect for sipping on while you watch 40mm of rain fall on a winters afternoon.
I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"
