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!🦕

Itching to free your prehistoric village from invading barbarians? You may get your chance SOONER THAN YOU THINK. 😉
Woah, Adventure Game Studio just recently added (3 weeks ago) a feature that I've wanted for decades: the ability to change dialogue topic text at runtime. Literal game-changer.
Finally started playing The Drifter last night, and now I see what everybody was talking about :D
I was B and C, but this was also back in 2013! I still consider myself very lucky at having lasted this long.
Jake Birkett - Veteran Indie@greyalien.bsky.social · 2w 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.

Don't let anyone tell you that A Golden Wake isn't an underrated gem. The price on sale is so low you should probably just get it now before everyone else realizes how great it is and starts reselling vintage copies on E-bay for thousands of dollars. It might not happen but why risk it?
Francisco González@grundislav.games · 2w agoFinal weekend to grab this deal.
Lamplight City is an excellent point&click adventure game with a great story. Grab it while it's hot - and on sale!
