if they made the matrix today there'd be a third pill that increases your magic resistance by 15% that seems weak at first but levels into some pretty crazy builds by the fourth zone.

I'm trying to understand how revenue works when you have both Steam and a publisher involved.

๐Ÿšจ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

So healthy to remember that these insane benchmarks (30 under 30 and the like) are all made up and arbitrary! Keep creating no matter how young/old you are.

You also dont need to make a critically acclaimed masterpiece for you or your creative work to have value ๐Ÿ’–

Fascinating! Its so great and inspiring seeing all of this in-engine content from Keeper! I really wish more devs/studios did this, so hopefully you set a trend for others to follow ๐Ÿ˜„
Thanks for sharing Lee!

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

A collection of illustrations of crocodiles and alligators against a soft green and yellow background. They are playfully either swimming or loafing around, playing with fish, taking care of their young and chilling in the water. The crocodiles and alligators are mostly green and yellow, save for an albino alligator. Theyโ€™re so loving and fun, these toothy friends!

Its so refreshing and inspiring to see great indies like Big Hops and Demon Tides coming out at the moment And being received so well.

Its such a breath of fresh air from all the doom and gloom of AAA and the wider industry, and really makes me excited to be making indie games! ๐Ÿ’–

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home.
