I make big action adventure side-scrolling games in weird worlds. I also despise bigots and AI #indiegamedev #solodev #irredeamable #blood&flames #thelegallydistinct

Today is indigenous peoples day. It is crucial to remember and talk about how there is still an active genocide against the tribal nations that were here for eons before this country colonized their land. Broken treaties and needless cruelty STILL HAPPEN. Sacred sites are under attack right now.

People really under-estimate the sheer amount of money Russia has invested into Foreign right wing propaganda. They have agents and bot farms meddling inside every public spaces, in every countries, trying to create an environment favorable to their government' s activities.

Cloudflare Data Explorer shows the amount of russian bot traffic has dropped to 49% after Ukraine struck a yandex data center.

Watching a friend play through resident evil 0, and while i really like billy conceptually, i do feel frustrated at his actual execution. We start with this idea that hes a convict who killed 23 people, but obviously its gonna be revealed he didnt because they cant let us play as a messy character

Progress on blood&flames is gonna be pretty slow from now on as i recently started going to school again. (Entered a 5 month program for a career in animal health since the game industry imploded and i don't really want to go back in it)

#indiegamedev #oc #art #creaturedesign Another self #fanart for #irredeamable the dreadful witches grimwood godmother and her loyal beast, Gregory. I wanted Gregory to look intimidating but kind of endearing.

A good reminder that bigotry often barges in, wearing the coat of social justice. Reality is often much more nuanced than good guys and bad guys and many potential allies are simply misinformed about what's going on, especially those in other countries where media doesn't cover the English world

you know I love it when my talking points not only get completely misconstrued, but if anything further proven right, given that I was making a point about how the western homogeny of social media platforms prevent yall acknowledging outside perspectives on things. (thread, if anyone cares)

Really liking the direction they took Kelvin in deadlocked It seems like they are playing on the idea that Kelvin is some kind of impostor (some even theorise, the thing) that has constructed his personality from the notes left by the original. it adds teeth to a typical goody two shoes

Good to keep an eye on these kind of things so AI users always feel on edge, but do remember that the primary danger with AI is its popularization and normalization. Its okay to be fooled from time to time, its not gonna taint your soul. Just make sure to make your distaste of AI loud and clear.

I'm sharing this as a mea culpa, because it turns out this game was coded with Claude, a fact that is reasonably difficult to track down for a piece that was intended as nothing more than a quick, fun "hey look at this" kind of thing.
