I had a long diatribe written out, but I'm tired y'all. anyways, Timothy Graham used AI-tools to help program Roguefort and he feels he doesn't need to disclose that because it isn't 'content' and so skirts steams policy. I will now, moving forward, assume your game is vibe-coded. sorry.

I do use AI as a coding assistant. I've spent three decades as a programmer, and I have a full-time job, a family, a 9-year-old son, and I'm a junior basketball coach. I'm not going to spend countless more hours hand-coding pathfinding algorithms for the thousandth time if I can get help from a machine that does it much faster than me. That frees up time to actually spend on my family, the community and the game design. AI is like any other tool. In the right hands it can be a force multiplier, but it can also wreck the place or lead to a poisoned chalice of a code base. I use it for the laborious work I can trust it with, like porting algorithms over, organising architecture and optimisation, and the design of the game is mine. I use LLMs ethically, and I'm an academic who has done published research in this area, so I'm not using them uncritically. But they are part of my workflow, and they've enabled me to do things I could never otherwise have done in my life.

Heart of the Machine is $8 CAD which is absurdly cheap for what is a massive game. I'd recommend HotM to just about anyone, yes it is a very deep experience but you can just muddle through and you will be rewarded for doing so. store.steampowered.com/app/2001070/...

Horror Heaven is back to look at 1988's "Pumpkinhead". Stan Winston's directorial debut comes in the form of a pretty solid monster movie. Strong practical effects and a great performance by Lance Henriksen show why this initial entry is still the highpoint in the cult franchise.

Horror Heaven: ‘Pumpkinhead’

When an accident claims the life of a small boy, his father strikes a terrible bargain for revenge against the people responsible. He realizes his mistake, but it may be too late to stop the horror…
