keep seeing this same blurb in every AI disclosure: "Every piece of content that makes it into the game is reviewed, curated, and touched by human designers" utterly meaningless statement. same as "I only copy/paste the images from Google image search that I personally like" 0% authorship

working on a new project for @aftermath.site: a semi-comprehensive, regularly-updated list of every game studio that refuses to use AI. if that sounds like your studio, message me with the reason(s) why as well as basic details about what you make. DMs open and email is nathan@aftermath.site

Is code art? Maybe in the broadest sense, but I view it more as craft; something between industrial design and carpentry. "Implausible", you say. "Individual machine instructions are anonymous, interchangeable." But then so are pixels in a pixel art image, and those machine instructions pile up...

you know your game is balanced if and only if two different people look at the same thing and one says "I don't think this is good" while the other goes "bro this is so cracked!"

the issue has and will always be the total number of games; everything else predictably falls out of that no judgement really, just acknowledging that it sucks how hard everything is you may as well get in now though 'cause it's not gonna get any easier

I just can't get over the theft. More engineers need to grow a spine. You're consuming the mechanically-separated remains of your own career prospects, sold back to you as an anonymous pink slurry. You're clapping the backs of the thieves as they walk out of your apartment with all your shit.

ANY gen ai usage is unacceptable. Seeing people say "oh but if it's just for coding"... No, programming with the environment destroying slop machine is also unacceptable. No one needs this shit
