I mostly play indie games, eroge, and read edgy yuri manga. Obsessively fond of the MeiKia pairing from HI3rd/GGZ and Cagliostro from Granblue Fantasty. ❤️ @takamomchi.bsky.social ❤️ @dearchekclaudia.bsky.social

I'm little surprised that The Warrior seems to be the least popular pick for Annihilated. It makes a bit of sense, you're pushed towards the hero, you can form a bond pretty quickly with the mage in the intro, and the priest despite needing to be unlocked has his targeted appeal.

Xocoyotl (OC) Wanted a more decent attempt at her in these colors. I like it, probably gonna stick with them. Took way longer than I'd like, lineart in particular, but it turned out well so whatever.

I think my biggest disappointment with Camp Miasma was that it failed to say anything about the backstory of Little Death and their inspirations such as the killer from Sleepaway Camp other than "yeah that's transphobic" Didn't even do anything with that Little Death switches genders every day.

I want the Amodeis to suffer for what they've brought upon the world, I want Peter Thiel to suffer for helping turn this world in the neverending nightmare I wake up to every morning. Justice doesn't exist though, Henry Kissinger died peacefully after all.

That last line line always stood out as odd/funny to me. Akane is very much not masculine figure, and as a guy who prides himself on his good looks, and is a professional boytoy it's hard to imagine that bothers him much. Eh, maybe his misogyny is just that strong.

I don't how small, restrained, or "responsibly" you used the technology, if you gave any money to Anthropic or its ilk, you are part of the problem.

Ghost Grey is in this weird space where it starts out very "oh dumb edgy meme Halloween hack" but evolves into this thing that somehow actually evokes the feeling of Early Pokemon/Mother and randomly hits you hard with deeply emotionally poignant scenes

You know, I've had my hatred of generative AI and LLMs for a long time before, but I think it's Claude and and the ease it let out talentless hacks shit out endless slop programs/games/hacks because it's "good enough" that transformed it into the burning rage I now have.

it is very important to me that the future of independent games remains driven by amazingly creative people at its core, coming together to create art that we celebrate every year. as someone trusted to help jury this year's IGF, i stand by this statement after much internal discussion:

This year's IGF entries have been incredible. We've been lucky to play games that surprise, connect, and challenge us, and we're excited to vote for our favorites. Unfortunately, there has also been a significant increase in the number of submitted games developed with generative AI tools. This has set off some fairly intense discussion and disagreement across the judge and jury pools, and at this point there is no universal consensus on what (if anything) is to be done. The IGF has affirmed that we may cast our votes according to our own tastes and values. But we, a contingent of IGF jurors, feel that this trend and the games embracing it deserve stronger pushback than a vote in silence. While IGF leadership has approved the release of this statement, it's important to note that we do not speak for IGF as an organization, or for all IGF jury members. Many jurors had differing perspectives and significant reservations about this statement. Some jurists additionally voiced concern about their ability to safely sign without professional blowback, and we do not intend this letter to serve as a censure of those who were unable to sign. Above all: Our goal is to state solidarity with those who despair over the future of their art, their craft, and their industry—including those who have experimented with these tools in the past, but who now believe they are not in our best interest. We know that change does not come at the individual level, but as independent developers, we also know firsthand the value of pushing back on what an industry has deemed "inevitable." As jurists, we feel a responsibility to push past defeatism and aspire to a higher ideal. The future is not yet settled. You are not alone. We can stand together.We, the undersigned IGF jury members, believe the following: 1. That generative AI has these negative effects: Ecological harms at community and planetary levels Economic harms to working developers and artists Cognitive and psychological harms to its users Harm to the increasingly fragile information landscape Harms to labor and worker power in creative fields 2. That these harms do not depend on what is generated, be it music or writing, art or VO, marketing assets or code. 3. That AI-generated code is not an exception to these harms. Programming is a creative discipline whose labour deserves the same respect we extend to any part of making a game. This extends to the past work used to train these models without the creators' consent. 4. Finally, that the use of these tools is neither a foregone conclusion in our industry nor that their adoption has been wholly voluntary. We stand in solidarity not only with those developers who have the freedom to unilaterally reject them, but also with those who have been compelled by their employers to adopt their use, those working to establish or improve their workplace policies, and especially with those in positions of precarity who are so often those most pressured to abandon their values. For these reasons, this year we are declining to vote for any game that uses generative AI in any capacity. We urge the IGF to adopt a strong anti-AI policy for future years that disallows games containing any AI-generated work. A.M.
