I’m crying

Hi hi it might get caught in the storm of my new game release, but I have extended this art contest until January to give people more time to post cool art!

Eld the Anti-fascist Malewife@eldjester.bsky.social · last mo.

Itch.io frames inundation of "slop" games as spam problem, not generative AI problem www.rascal.news/itch-io-fram...

if you don't see me on tumblr anymore this is why: of course it's fucking bullshit

The comments of this are filled with the worst losers imaginable. "a complete ban is impossible, itch is just a small uwu bean website with 1 employee and can't be expected to do anything, the slop merchants will just lie, bans have to be 100% effective and accurate or they're pointless"

itch.io@itch.io · 6d ago

In order to better control what you see, we're adding Generative AI disclosure filtering to few more places on the site where it was critically lacking, including our search results page

We had to delete 10 terabytes of AI slop from our servers, and to help prevent this in the future, we're requiring the foxes to do a super-ultra pinkie-promise with no takebacksies the next time they come to visit the henhouse

itch.io@itch.io · 6d ago

The tabletop (aka physical games), books, comics and soundtracks categories on itchio now require completing an AI disclosure in order to edit or create your page. These join the game assets section which has required disclosure for the past 2 years.

From the authors that bring you FMS: GODSMASH, @joelhappyhil.bsky.social & @vomitlover.bsky.social once again bring you a new spin on a tabletop 2P VS game, FULL-METAL SPIRITS: CONQUEST, where you play as the Fettered General, serving under a divine Sultan to conquer the old Earth in their name!

I've playtested SOAR a bunch and it's got pretty slick, dynamic tactical combat that feels like you're in a martial arts movie. You should definitely take a look at the new version when you can!

Tomorow, the next version of S.O.A.R. Shirtless On A Rooftop bursts through your window! SOAR is a SLASH of LIFE TTRPG where you engage in CITY CRAWL, punch/kick/slash/shoot people in KINETIC BRAWLS and deal with three factions making your life harder: The Corp, The Cops and The Pack.

Dropping my salesman voice for a bit here: this specific update took me like half a year to iron out, truth be told closer to a year. This is the result of me needing to completely retool my narrative system and adding like more than twice as many foes as the base game. I put my jestussy into this

It's never been so over for Yakuza games, between this and RGG completely losing the plot and hiring someone recorded doing assault on a woman and accused of sexual assault.

Nagoshi Studio and its expensive gangster drama Gang of Dragon are no more

I've been thinking a bit more about this today and while I'm probably going to just leave this version be for a while (gotta get back to Lancer projects) there's some real promise here for alternative stages and summonings. It'd be trivial to adapt this to classic fantasy, for example

“How would itch feasibly ban and remove all the AI games? It would take so much time and effort” Idk they didn’t have much trouble delisting games based on a specific set of parameters last year now did they

The thing I think I'm most pleased with here is how well the tarot integrated, from a design perspective there's a lot you can do with this system to make it lean in different narrative directions depending on the kind of story you want to tell

Katherine Stark 🔜 Dragonmeet@kastark.bsky.social · last wk.

So while trying to keep myself from working more on Far Field I ended up writing a different game entirely. Tribulation is a GMless game Lynchian urban fantasy/folk horror for 3-5 players, played with a Tarot deck. Go check it out - I'm pretty pleased with it! kastark.itch.io/tribulation-...

If I can be frank I think a lot of these platforms not banning it with this as their reasoning are abdicating responsibility here. But what else is new, I suppose.

Once again: If you ban slop on a site, yes, people will still put it up. But now, they know that they are being bad actors, and when you spot them, you can treat them appropriately, AS bad actors. "Just give up and lay down in the latrines with me" is not an argument.

just ban it guys lol

Reposting this because people are tooting the bad argument of "you can't ban GenAI people will just hide its use" in the comments
