(❗NSFW DNI❗) Hello hello! 🕹Game dev 🖊Pixel/3D Artist. Hardly working. 👾Glitch art, synthwave, anything cyberpunk fan. Working on #HELLWARES, #MurmurGarden

Hellwares battle UI mock-up. It needs to show: - up to 6 characters - names and portraits - up to 10 hp - attack cooldowns, keys and selected attack - human player number (if needed) - team color (if needed) I need some feedback before implementing it, is it ok? Too cluttered? #HELLWARES #gamedev

Hellwares battle UI mockup, made to figure out the positions and how much space they occupy at maximum capacity: 6 characters, each with their own portrait, name, and colors, up to 10 hp, 4 attacks with cooldowns and assigned keys. The arena only has two characters but that's irrelevant, they are here to show where the player number (p1, p2) and team color would be placed.

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

Other stuff to do: - Update sprites for all six characters (animate, render, import, assign) - Implement two more attacks for Seymour - Pattern choosing mechanic for human players - Balancing attacks and timers - Update the DAMN UI for character stats - Dash mechanic maybe #HELLWARES

The darkness continues. #Cara has been scraped a third time!. This complete disregard for ethics, copyright law and creativity has to stop!. The team behind Cara are now going for legal help. You can aid them at the link below with their legal journey. Time to fight. #NoAI 🚫 gofund.me/3be9eeb3c

Well, as a surprise to no one #Cara has been scraped again!. Another crook taking what’s not there’s. The damage this is doing to the platform both physically and financially is huge. The #GenAI movement is an absolute curse.

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.
