Jocke "Balder" Häggström. Malmö If you preach hate, then expect hate. Nazi punks, fuck off! Senior Tech Art at She Was Such A Good Horse. Previously at ULTRA ULTRA, shipped ECHO. Making games #purified, #crust and #abyss balderdragonslayer.carrd.co/
Seems like a good reminder that my last game, current game, and next game didnt have any Ai used to create it. Supporting creators like me is how you continue to say "fuck you!" to things like this. www.gamesradar.com/games/epic-g...
Epic Games boss calls Steam AI disclosures "really irresponsible of Valve" as they make it "much, much, much harder for a game developer to have a chance of success"
"You have to get this Scarlet Letter of AI attached to your product"

Ive seen multiple posts online saying that "there are no game devs doing games without AI today" which is complete bullshit Raise yor hand if you don’t use any form of LLM and actively avoid it ✋
Also in celebration of @balderdragonslayer.eurosky.social's Birthday today, here's a piece I did weeks ago for his personal project #CRUST - a Mad-Max-meets-Night-In-The-Woods game with cars, cute animals, and a whole lotta' wholesome vibes 💙 Be sure to check out his page and give him some love!!
In recognition of @balderdragonslayer.eurosky.social's birthday today, we're earning him his "Monster Fucker" card starting with Auntie Ethel from #BG3. Easily the Best Girl and one of my personal faves as well, I just like her for ... uh ... different reasons than Balder does! #sakart

B A L D E R@balderdragonslayer.eurosky.social · last mo.One of the things I added this weekend was Critters, and after having watched one too many @anyaustin.bsky.social videos I made sure that they can land if you scare them off 🐝 #CRUST #gamedev #indie #screenshotsaturday
I don't know who needs to hear this, it is entirely possible to build a whole game without generative AI. All our art, VO, worldbuilding, lore etc. is done by humans because we think our team is awesome and we value their expertise and labor. 🧡
There was some interest in this so I put a version on itch. apiratehat.itch.io/simple-font-...

Again, I managed to make a custom PBR solution run 60 fps on the PS Vita, on a 128 MB vram budget. I feel like people just forgot how to optimize stuff.
Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou@kanaratron.bsky.social · last mo.Or tailor your 3D art style to run well on low-end hardware.
genuinely concerned that if AI goes bankrupt I might shrug so hard I dislocate both shoulders
Samurai Unicorn has come a long way since we first made the opening title sequence... To mark the start of this new period of development, we decided to revisit it and update the sequence with all the new characters.
Strange how signs do that! Got Stranger's Wrath for the xbox when it came out, I still replay it every so often 🤠
Oddworld Inhabitants@oddworldinc.bsky.social · last mo.Do you remember Stranger’s Wrath? Oddworld + Wild West = A Darn Tootin’ Good Game from 2005! What’s your favorite thing about Stranger? #StrangersWrath #Oddworld #RetroGaming

Hay game devs it’s a rough time so let’s try celebrating what you done as of late, share your games, your experiments, dev art or simply little experiments and what you learnt. Let’s celebrate what you achieved without LLM or genAI. And try to share and encourage who ever feels like taking part.

Aliiwa@aliiwa.bsky.social · 2mo agoLock screen check point Qrp with your lock screen! And it will continue to be this until i find the mojo to draw anything else in this style again
I'd never let AI near any of my projects, anything I don't do myself I commission. I'm currently making CRUST, a cozy Mad Max and Wind Waker inspired game about finding yourself! 📸 I also make games for the PS Vita about angry robots/cyborgs with guns! 🔫 balderdragonslayer.itch.io
