No GenAI was used in creating Kemono Mahjong, and never will be.

There's a tendency among some players that's if they lose a few times, then they feel the game *must* be cheating somehow. My game isn't easy. Even I'm lucky to win a match against the CPU 30% of the time. But that rarity of a win is what makes the wins special, IMO. #indieGameDev #mahjong

Most commonly, they complain about the CPU players being "too smart"/cheating. But I KNOW the CPU isn't looking at the player's hand. It's smart - definitely - but it doesn't cheat. :/ *grumbles* #indieGameDev #mahjong

Made the mistake of looking at (negative) reviews of my game on Steam, and wish I could directly reply to some of these. #indieGameDev #mahjong

Good hand in @kemonomahjong.bsky.social :) #mahjong #indieGame

Sharing this project again as it's nearing completion and looks cool IMO. :) mahjongautocompass.com

No gacha mechanics either. :) (And no "AI"-generated code or assets, ever) #indieGameDev #indieGame #mahjong

In a world of ~$1000 consoles, and ad-infested, IAP-heavy mobile games... you can still get countless hours of gameplay without ads or additional purchases from Kemono Mahjong - on mobile platforms or Steam, for just $3-6. :) #indieGame #mahjong

Hey folks, let's do an indie #ShowCasey for pride month! 🏳️‍🌈 Calling all LGBTQIA gamedevs! Do you have a game you want signal boosted? Reply to this post with a link to your game's store page and a quick description, and let's get you some eyeballs! There's only one rule: no generative AI.

Found some old mock-ups and screenshots of early builds of the game, thought it was neat to see how it evolved compared to how it is now (last image). #indieGameDev #mahjong #random

I'm gonna need a few hundred of these furry mahjong tutorial pamphlets, the maker couldn't have done better so it's your turn to learn mahjong !!!!

Alright, v1.52.00 should be rolling out on all platforms now. :) #indieGameDev #mahjong

Cyborg K9 🌹@cyborgk9.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Made new builds of @kemonomahjong.bsky.social for the various platforms. Just minor tweaks, the main thing being that I've made Japanese terms the default for new installs. Even the EMA seems to have decided that's better, so... :) #indieGameDev #mahjong

Always neat to see mahjong growing in popularity - especially Japanese/Riichi style. :) #mahjong

KCUR (Kansas City's best news source)@kcur.org · 2mo ago

One of the most popular games in the world, mahjong has recently gotten big around Kansas City — with the metro's first dedicated parlor opening last year. You can now find places to play casually and competitively, or learn the game for the first time.

Just felt like saying @kemonomahjong.bsky.social doesn't use any "AI" assets, and never will (re:future updates). I also don't intend on any bizarre community engagement using AI-crap. :/ Just sad to see other devs go that route... completely misreading the sentiment towards "AI"... #indieGameDev

My void modelling the Kemono Mahjong card set. (Google Photos surfaced this memory). 8)

I wonder if I should set "Japanese Terms" to "on" by default for new installs. Originally I was adhering to EMA terminology, but... Chi/Pon/Kan seems more standard to me at this point. But… that could just be what I'm used to.

Everyone seems to be talking about mahjong these days. From London to Mumbai, mahjong events are popping up everywhere. I grew up around the game but never learned how to play. And so I took a foray into the world of mahjong and discovered why everyone's hooked on this old tile game.

#random: any interest in an Xbox (Series S or X) version of the game, or is Steam sufficient? #indieGameDev #mahjong

If I added a toggle that would hide Fu, Han, and final point values on the score summary panel until the blanks were tapped on... would anyone use it? Thinking it might be a way to help learn and memorize scoring themselves. #mahjong #indieGameDev

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!

It's nice to get good reviews on mobile platforms, too. :) (So, err... if you have @kemonomahjong.bsky.social on iOS or Android... I'd certainly appreciate some...) ;^) #indieGameDev #mahjong

Kinda curious to know what a "stripped down, limited gameplay" version of my game might be. Maybe one hand (instead of a full match)... no character unlocks, limited to 3 CPU characters? Just enough to say "look, there is a complete game here, please play to unlock it"? #indieGameDev #mahjong

It's kinda tempting to release a "free" (but very limited) version of my game, with a separate payment option that charges (far) less to unlock full functionality. Of course, I'd rather the 30% "platform tax" be drastically reduced, as it's damaging gaming. #indieGameDev

The "Apple, Google, and Steam take 30% of all my sales for basically doing nothing" thing is incredibly frustrating. (Apple is even worse because they demand yearly fees just for the privilege of continuing to host my apps) youtu.be/KSf35GtTKpc?... #indieGame #mahjong
