adding this as a comment here in case someone tries to use this reasoning to harass individual artists. not every bsky post is a call for dragging out the online activism pillory/stocks. try engaging in analysis/theory without weaponizing it for once please bsky.app/profile/sola...

in case it’s ambiguous—no, i am NOT implying that doing a redraw trend is as bad as using A/I that‘s trained from massive amounts of unlicensed data, implicated in mass environmental harm, etc! the scope of consequences are vastly different. don’t use this to bully small artists, etc. please god >>

thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data

mission status: radical

"We use AI" ... "Nah, we actually do not use AI" ... "We now use AI!" ... "Nvm, we're not using AI after all" ... "Actually, we use AI"

Hey, indie devs, this is what happens when you try to sneak AI stuff onto Steam without disclosing it. Don't do that! It will completely destroy your reputation!

Experimental urban destruction. There's some stuff I need to polish, but its surprisingly performant for what it is. That being said, doing any sort of real time mesh editing is a pain in the ass and I nearly blew my brains out twice trying to do this. It works tough and I'm okay.

A bit of progress, also trying out UE5.8 Unguided bomb is fun, though I'm still designing the bomb drop reticle

Cannon mechanic testing! I turned the hit particle effect and damage way up for this test, so this may look a bit goofy

Working on an Acelike flight shooter as a hobby project! Took plenty of notes from Ace Combat and Project Wingman.

lazy fit

older now

just slapped 10 enemies with poorly made pathfinding in to see how it felt performance wise and didn't notice much of an impact. they also can be killed now instead of Just Standing There.

Replaying Fallout New Vegas with a Legion run, and even when I'm TRYING to rp my character as a cutthroat bitch I just can't be mean to people What if the little digital people in the game feel bad :(

Lizard Devlog 6: frckld.gay/devlog6.html

Wrote an optimized city rendering system, still WIP so its full of blemishes. But I'm VERY proud on how it looks at the moment. It only uses 1 material for the buildings.

Hijacking this 416 Day to spread... whatever kind of propaganda this is. #GirlsFrontline #소녀전선2 #ドールズフロントライン２ #ドルフロ２ #少女前線

they locked me in a cave till i finished these

Weekly devlog is out! frckld.gay/devlog5.html

added tutorial hologram lady to the fps i'm making. she may or may not be a computer #indiegame

took a mostly slow week after crashing out a bit at coding being annoying. still fixed some things here and there but mostly wanted to iron out some better vibes to just exist in as i work on prototyping

Upcoming new #gameassets! I've made 125+ light cookies/masks for use in any engine that supports it. Also great for 2D light effects 🔦 (CC0, public domain) Will be released Wednesday April 8th 📅

gamedevlog this week is out (a day late sorry). have fun? frckld.gay/devlog4.html

i thought that making a game would somehow get more attention than my texture work or writing how was i so wrong lmfao

gamedev.

they let me add in weapon switching., it was an easy task i swear

hell yeah.

they let me keep doin this shit (this isn't even my latest footage)

the speedrunning community was as toxic and as much of a boys club (if not more) as many others not too long ago, and the transition to it being a more queer-positive and inclusive event wasn't inevitable. GDQ's shift has been really meaningful and it's a lesson for what a lot of other spaces can be
