I can't believe how many job applications for our recent posting are coming in 100% AI by the detectors. Some emails that I really thought were genuine. I didn't realize I had to put "no AI cover letters/emails". People seriously need LLM to write an email? We're that brain dead already?

4 years ago we set up our studio @bloomandgloom.bsky.social. Now we are 10 people, and announce our first game Into the Wind! Check it out (and wishlist if you want to) on Steam here: store.steampowered.com/app/2843060 #indiegame #gamedev #intothewindgame #indiedev

Songs of Glimmerwick feels like the anti-HP of wizard school games. An entire setting that confronts a society newly escaping 40 years of regressive faux-populist politics. Serious as that sounds, Glimmerwick is SO funny and lighthearted. Excited to see the story continue in the full game.

The ethically-sourced wizard school life sim I've been waiting for finally has a playable demo and launches this year

Seven years in the making, the developers of Eastshade are finally ready for us to play a tiny first taste of their cozy witch school life sim Songs of Glimmerwick.

To anybody who happens to play games in French or Spanish (or other heavily gendered languages): How does an NPC typically address gender of player avatar? Like in an RPG where you pick gender, do NPCs use gendered adjectives, or do they sort of weasel around it? And is it strange for players?
