Good news: Today I got the first piece of new music for my game and it sounds great. Bad news: I’ve got Covid again.

This is a fantastic article. I’ve had so many people tell me AI will somehow magically allow them to make a game. It won’t. You know what will? Self-discipline. If you lack the ability to see something through, that’s not changing with AI. www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...
Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Ten years ago, it started with a game jam. Since then, we've poured all of our love and craft into every single pixel. Now, it's finally here: a wordless point-and-click adventure in a prehistoric world full of dinosaurs. Theropods launches August 20th!🦕

Jake Birkett - Veteran Indie@greyalien.bsky.social · 3w ago3 different potential reasons to go full-time indie: a) you were part-time and had success and now want to build on that b) you have enough money to risk 1-2 years of work with no guarantee of success c) you have no other option/feel compelled in your soul. Again no guarantees.
