NEW #EIDOLWARE BLOG POST, "Where We Draw the Line on AI": eidolware.com/blog/where-w... I moved this up to be the 2nd blog post because I feel it’s important to address this early. I detail how we prevent corrupting the craft and artistry of the game & protect those involved. #gamedev #indiegames

Where We Draw the Line on AI

EIDOLWARE satirizes AI culture, so where does it stand on using AI in its own development? Here's where I draw the line.

I've been reviewing the #voiceacting auditions we have for #EIDOLWARE so far (324 submissions!) and there are many amazing VAs from indie to pro. It opened my eyes to the depth of talent available. Knowing what's out there, it's hard to imagine why any #gamedev would resort to AI instead.

Attention all FedoraCon guests! Due to the amazing number of submissions (100+), #voiceacting auditions for Fedora Mask will close on 3/28/26. If you haven't auditioned, then please do so soon! Good luck to everyone! www.castingcall.club/projects/eid... #EIDOLWARE #gamedev #indiegames #spotlight

Finally got the dialog system visuals and functionality working in #EIDOLWARE! Sizing boxes based on text and stacking them right was way harder than expected, but I’m glad I didn’t settle for a static text box. It feels way more conversational now. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames
