You in Edinburgh today? Come to Codebase and see some indie games at the Edinburgh College games expo. Meet some devs, give some feedback, make some friend (not me tho, I’m always grumpy). Tickets are free, and you can grab them at www.tickettailor.com/events/edinb.... Or just turn up.
Oh this is fun! Now souless shit people can create souless shit games within a souless shit game engine! Maybe spend more time improving the engine and empowering creatives instead of jumping on the #AISlop bandwagon? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhoz...
