The most recent video game that I made, Bytes and Knights, was so fun that I just had to make a physical version! It's really awesome to see my Arduboy game come alive like this!

OpenAI says it has found evidence that Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek used the US company’s proprietary models to train its own open-source competitor, as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property. The San-Francisco-based ChatGPT maker told the Financial Times it had seen some evidence of ‘distillation’, a technique used by developers to obtain better performance on smaller models by using outputs from larger, more capable models. This allows them to achieve similar results on specific tasks at a much lower cost. OpenAI declined to comment further on details of its evidence. Its terms of service state users cannot “copy” any of its services or “use output to develop models that compete with OpenAI”.
I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.

Woo! Looking forward to it!

If you're in the UK, take this stand right now. This is a fence that you can't put back up if it passes you, and it will kill the UK creative sector.

Redeem an Early Access key on our website to purchase access now." I bought it through steam today, and given the launch server situation, it looks like it hasn't caught up to me.

This winter, we completed another collaboration. Check us out in Isekai Marché when Vket starts (about 12 hours from now)! #vrchat #vket

This is not bearably playable but... it's a tile-based FPS on the NES with elevation, and it uses NO MAPPERS. This is just the raw 1983 hardware
Now that persistence is out, I'd like to share I've been working on a language-learning adventure world that saves your story and study progression! #vrchat #tokipona

A lot of amazing games have been created during 7DFPS, such as SUPERHOT, Heavy Bullets or Receiver!
Check it out, join the jam, and follow Ruby for more!
isekai marché! Did you make one as well?

Shaders won't be a thing for another 20 years or so.
I got my start in game development with Love2D in 2011, and back then it felt like "easy mode" with it being Lua. But lately when I talk to folks who started with Unity, I've been getting remarks about Love2D like, "Woah! That's low level. Cool!"

18.11.2024 22:13 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Does anyone know how to do a reverse projection mapped texture bake? By that I mean, start with a detailed scene with dense foliage. Then place invisible quads rotated randomly throughout the trees. These quads will be used to sample colors as seen from a specific point in the scene. #gamedev
