Great resource
jessamyn@librarian.bsky.social · 5d agoI work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
“Some people think we can wait and, when it gets too bad, then we reduce emissions and things will get better again. People don’t realise that we can’t make it get better again. We can only prevent it from getting much worse.”

ZplaceplatformZ is done, so I'm onto the next idea. My third game in #pico8 will need more prototyping and experimentation to see where the fun can be had. First quick test presented without context:
I really enjoy making tools to remove things that slow down the creative process. Resizing objects is one of those things So I built a Dynamic Scaling System for Blender that lets the object adapt to a new scale automatically Inspired by @paralives.com and developed using @kenney.nl 's assets

Hey Chris! I work at 2K on the next Bioshock, but over the last few years (with 2K's approval™) I've been noodling on a weird take on the immersive sim genre. Inspired by Mosa Lina, Scribblenauts, and LittleBigPlanet (which incidentally is how I got into game dev!)
ZpaceplatformZ is a fast paced arcade game set in the year 4000. No one has a body anymore and you must colour platforms in space to match incoming lasers! itch: thelemurconspiracy.itch.io/zpaceplatformz bbs: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=158...
Getting myself confused between two names for my game Zpaceplatez and ZpaceplatformZ. I can't imagine how that could've happened 🫠
I'm so very grateful for PeopleMakeGames giving me a platform to speak about the impact the dismissal from Rockstar has had on my family because it has been profound. We miss our dogs more than anything in the world and would do anything to have them both back. Unfortunately that cannot happen.
IWGB@iwgbunion.bsky.social · last wk.Listen to fired Rockstar worker Will Masilane detail how losing his job meant losing the life he had built in Edinburgh, with his girlfriend and his beloved dogs Abby and Lonnie The four of them had made the move to the Scottish capital from Australia two and half years prior.
ZpaceplateZ: the gameover screen should always be a little fun #pico8
Really good makeshift covers for Dino Crisis I saw at the used game store the other day. Unfortunately I was so scared I had to leave
Inherited my partners old work laptop and have begun my journey into Linux land. Some small hiccups but now I’ve now got Godot and Pico 8 ready to rock.
Somehow we need to monetise this - and quickly
Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12
Looks like someone in design department of Stratham’s new movie Mutiny was inspired. Love it.
Sad that I found the one good use case for using AI to clean up a photo
Tempted to keep the naming convention and call this ZpaceplatformZ
Gerard@lemurconspires.bsky.social · 3w agoI had almost given up on the design but in moving back to free movement the game started to feel better and that dynamic feel gave me the idea of introducing mine hazards. adding just the right amount of variability and challenge. Now onto final features and polish. #pico8
Help, my Sega Megadrive is out of control ! It must think it's a Playstation or something. Yes, it's fully synced 60 fps :)
A Short History of Saving the World is a new podcast series I’m getting into. Only a couple of episodes out so far but very well done. Would recommend. savingtheworldpod.transistor.fm

Hatred of AI now reaching the level of cultural consensus that becomes attractive to advertisers
