Been looking up lots of ref videos of bugs lately and the amount of fake docu-style slop out there, it’s depressing. Is there any solution other than whitelists for everything, which also sucks

I wrote about one specific way AI is ruining my life defector.com/ai-animal-vi...

Godot: - is free & yours to modify - isn’t run by shareholders with a different agenda - doesn’t support genAI - is easy to transition to - is very capable - has its own quirks - exports to desktop & mobile, and to console through 3rd party services (for now) lmk if you need help transition to it

Quake is such a cozy game ^^ Screenshots from my upcoming 1024 units map jam entry.

A couple years ago I started switching to open source & independent game dev tools, to see if I could replace the software I’d spent my whole career in. I wrote about how it’s going matthammill.com/tools/ (This was for my talk at Toronto Games Week/Open World Map which was so lovely to be part of!)

Incredible Manifesto! It's aimed at non-commercial games but I think large chunks of it apply to the broader "professionalized" indie space as well.

Persepolis was read all over the world—a true international phenomenon. Assigned in every class subject under the sun. During the Obama years, West Point cadets were assigned the book. There's never been anything like it; never anyone like her. What an awful world that couldn't hold her longer.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.
