sorry neural nets got me going full peter molyneux over here

ideally it'd generate little custom scenarios for every individual player to run into day by day but i'm keeping AI token economy in mind here

MMO-run neural net that writes new segments of its own ongoing story every day (political intrigue, discovering new continents/creatures/alchemy etc) and automatically generates code alongside it for the server to turn it into gameplay

bit sad that the era of AIs that generate eldritch monstrosities right on the edge of the frame is already drawing to a close

been very into fruit syrups lately. orange, peach, lemon. just add water, real nice. people don't often know about the secret syrups they may already have in their fridge. soy sauce can be a syrup. ketchup can be a syrup

making a game doesn't have to be about putting a marketable product on a store shelf. sometimes it can just be like making a big meal for your friends

big fan of gen II pokemon when the games were suddenly like "bro 😳 isn't it wild how cellphones are a thing 😳"

we just took off our cat's jingly bell collar so he can be comfortable and it's like we put the cat on mute

the more RTs your tweet gets the less people treat it like a throwaway 280-characters joke and the more they feel compelled to react like you intended it as a serious analysis that they have to debunk because you were too reductive

it appears some people are under the impression that i made up the indie ones. they are 100% real and were showcased on today's Day of the Devs stream, here's a timestamp

in order: Time Flies, Choo-Choo Charles, A Little to the Left, Bear and Breakfast

indie games: what if you were a little fly. what if a sentient locomotive was after you. what if you tidied up a house. what if you were a bear who runs a B&B

AAA games: what if u had a gun

this stream sucks when are they announcing the Morbius game

high-level sneaking perk that lets you pickpocket people's organs out of them while they're not looking

jonathan frakes should host the Snopes tv show

i'm so depressed

maybe i don't want to "let the ingredients get to know each other". maybe i want them to meet on the plate, brutally with no introduction. some unknown chemical reaction should be violently taking place. there should be smoke

seeing some really silly debates on whether generated neural net pics are art so my stance on the matter is simply: if something makes people consistently wonder "is this art?" then that should be enough to make it qualify as art

(next development focus: fixing and updating the android app! wish me luck)
