Finally took the time to record my first hybrid set: on.soundcloud.com/QJnDWSyANkVG... Used my sampler and XDJs to layer tracks, drums and other samples. Still has a bunch of edges in it, but i like it. #music #dj #jungle #ambient

All the places I wont be // Hybrid Set (Live and XDJs)

A hybrid set of my own tracks mixed with XDJs and tracks from other artists. ID: 00:00 Unknown voice sample / own music 01:45 And still they move - voice sample by Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan / own music

Here's some of the outer gatefold art & credits. I can smell it. I can taste it.

i dunno I think sometimes people just enjoy talking to like minded people. do you do this kind of shit with your friends offline

i think, end of the day, the real problem with Bluesky is that most of its users are here *because* they want to be in a bubble. and they can tell themselves that it’s just about not being around Nazis it supporting Musk, and that’s part of it, but also there’s a palpable desire to be ensconced.

Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖

hybrid set with @domenig.bsky.social Searching new ways to connect my art, music and writing and got inspired by @stvulture.bsky.social yesterday :) #art #music #electronic #jungle

"Might they say no? Of course. But they might also say yes. We’re broken. We gotta keep shit simple. No complex planning. No calendar bullshit. No ranges of dates. No pencilling shit in. We are very much in “Get in loser. We’re doing crimes.” territory." How to stay friends

I have written another @lauflauf.games newsletter! This time about summer weather, finally turning systems into content and about the web I have never experienced but feel a strange nostalgia for: mailchi.mp/442bc7deba94... #gamedev #interaction #art

i am more of the view that it's impossible for LLMs to be used for automation myself

innes mck@innes.bsky.social · 2mo ago

im pretty far on the anti-AI and LLM end of the spectrum, but you have to constantly think critically and reassert your reasons *why* you oppose it, otherwise you end up taking positions like "it's good to manually complete tasks which could be automated and doing avoidable work is virtuous"

Olivia Guest · Ολίβια Γκεστ@olivia.science · 2mo ago

You don't teach a child what it looks like to ride a bike. You teach then to ride the bike. What it looks like in fact can be known before knowing what it is to do it. In fact it often is for many serious skills. I know what it looks like to pilot a plane well, but I don't know what it is to do it.

"Expanding a boundary is the wrong phrase or framing. This is more like cooking or gardening. We do new things and experiment to find what we care about, to find new things to share with other people, and to remind ourselves that nothing is static and that we can define the future for ourselves."

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

Another good reason we (also we as developers and designers) should oppose tracking and unnecessary data collection as much as we can. this world we are in finds ways to turn this data into malicious things

NESbot@nesbot.bsky.social · 2mo ago

30 billion street and environmental scans from Pokémon GO players were used to train US military drones www.resetera.com/threads/15...

we spent like thirty years arguing about whether games with guns were the problem when it is actually games with any sort of social tracking component. the most violently offensive game in the world has less blood on its hands than pokemon goddamned motherfucking go.

the cars don't drive themselves and we're still nowhere near Mars, but you can't question Elon Musk's ability to deliver screwworms and racial violence

Did you know that in Zurich, Switzerland, there was a space where more than 160 indie devs (including @strayfawnstudio.bsky.social and Blowfish) worked together? It's called the @swissgamehub.com and Sam from @lauflauf.games was kind enough to show me around. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ith...

it works, the new renderer is bug free! to catch folks up on the experiment, this is a zero polygon renderer which uses a heightmap raycaster similar to comanche. it's a single pass with terrain + n bookended pairs of layered geometry, so you can do overlaps.

Really pleased to announce we @lauflauf.games received the Migros Storylab grant for early prototype development for our new project "Hand Anthology". A game about migration, cultural legacy of games and Switzerland. storylab.migros-kulturprozent.ch/projects/han... #games #indiegames #gaming

Working on the dynamic water system for my cozy building game Island Architect! Think about where water should come from. Should it rain every now and then or should you directly place water sources? More thoughts in 🧵 #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame
