reposting this checklist i made about countermeasures, as it's pertinent to how i just died in frogcomposband as well.
loren schmidt@lorenschmidt.bsky.social · last wk.this death actually provides a really good checklist for RPG designers to go over when adding new features: (1) is it an interesting challenge with redundant soft workarounds, or is it a hard counter? be aware of the shape of the interactions this will have with other systems.

Getting gradually closer to having the funds* to order 28 oc art commissions.... Is that even a thing people like. Do people like getting "hey you did so good on this, do you want to do it 27 more times" or would that be stressful and unbearable *all proceeds from my artwork go to this. It is slow.
Things I want to add to BFS2 before making a public demo - footstep sfx - card shuffling animation - enemy attack animations - custom enemy on-map avatars
This is my exact experience at work, it’s infuriating. And while I don’t have any proof, per se, I blame AI

"Indie games will save us as AAA shoot itself in the foot" the players say as they refuse to pay prices where indie game dev is viable for anyone that isn't a millionaire. Let's look at the economics of Silksong as an example.
Oh hey so like, my game is almost at 1400 wishlists. It was at 1394 yesterday The rate has definitely been increasing since I stopped trying to make a story with a trailer and just crammed a bunch of clips together Gotta imagine that number will go up a bunch with a demo I think I'm doing well

Wreck my notifications because usually people ask to be added. Which, go ahead, happy to add anyone who doesn't use any AI. Including code, which I know I already said but it bears repeating.
You know what it's time for? It's time for me to wreck my notifications all day by reminding everyone about these starter packs I made for game devs who don't use generative AI in ANY capacity. There are three: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ
