The GMTK Game Jam is, as always, so inspiring. Thousands of game devs just making stuff, for the sheer love of the craft.

No AI. No worries about the Steam meta or monetisation. Just making stuff and having fun.

Searching “how fucking long does it take to get a fucking passport” on Google

Search results without AI overview

Someone on the GMTK Discord shared a great hack: Google doesn’t show AI summaries if your query contains swear words.

I’m open to moving my Substack to another platform - a plus would be if the platform handled tax stuff for you (like Patreon does). Any recommendations on that, especially from UK-based creators?

It comes off as super desperate

The year is 2025. I right click on an AI-generated comment on my YouTube video to delete it, only the "Remove" button has been shifted down to make way for a button that generates video ideas based on the AI-generated comment.

This is hell.

It's not 10% off! It's even better!! ..... 5% off!!

help

Yeah, the discount is right but it shouldn't show as 5% in the title or the green box, that's very confusing! I've asked them to investigate

Hm, it's definitely being weird. Lemme get in touch with Valve...

GMTK logo and the word Loop, with the two Os as an infinity symbol

The theme for GMTK Game Jam 2025 is... Loop!

Good luck!

How it started / how it's going

When you realise that someone else is making a very similar game to you, it can feel pretty demoralising...

But then we ended up chatting to each other, shared codes, supported each other's launches, and put the games together into a Steam bundle!
