Stefan makes Hyperspace Deck Command

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.] JANET: Ugh... LIZ: What's up? JANET: I am so bored of cooking peas! LIZ: Have you tried... AI peas? JANET: AI peas? LIZ: They're peas with AI! [Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI]. LIZ: Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas JANET: What LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines] Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas? [Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it] LIZ: Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine [Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas] LIZ: With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas! JANET: What LIZ: Shut up LIZ: Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow From opening the bag of peas to boiling the peas to eating the peas To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means. JANET: Is it really necessary to- LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]: THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET [Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan: AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

My milkshake brings (3D6 + milkshaker's level) boys to the yard. For each soy milk in inventory, an extra 1D3 soy boys may be brought to the yard. My milkshake can be used when not in a yard, but only a fixed 1D4 boys will be brought, with no milkshaker's level-based adjustment.

I love this because it's potentially The Answer.

Games are struggling because we're in a hit-driven market. Make a hit and Steam will push it. Make a hit and media will cover it. That's great... if you have a hit.

But how does everyone else survive?

@falconeerdev.bsky.social has found a way.

POSTER: In my post I invented the Don’t Misunderstand the Torment Nexus Metaphor as a cautionary tale

CTO: At long last, I have misunderstood the Torment Nexus Metaphor from the classic post Don't Misunderstand The Torment Nexus Metaphor

extremely important PSA

happy birthday to me i guess, haha

the Castlevania 2 dialogue box, reading: IS NEXT THURSDAY A GOOD TIME FOR YOU TO HAVE A CURSE?

There is something truly remarkable about Generative AI.

Several years in this revolution, half of the US GDP dumped to make these tools free, and i can't think of a single generated artifact, text, image, sound, video that had a significant cultural impact.

Deck builder with units that act on individual timers and extra flexible status cards that work differently when played at allies or enemies: store.steampowered.com/app/2711190/...

imagine a cozy boot wholesomely stamping on a ghibli style face forever

While the player can transform any object in my game into a NPC
But happens if you make one of the NPCs, already in my game, come to life?

While it is SUCH a minor feature to add in Rhell, i think the destroyed form of each NPC is one of my favourite little details

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

Work in progress music, work in progress babies. Work in progress Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator.

SHORT! THAT! BABY!

a great post by @mikejudge.bsky.social where he put together secondary metrics on AI coding that equate to travolta-coat.gif mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

the thing about "just make it exist, make it good later" is that unfortunately three key challenges in game development are 1. deciding what should exist 2. deciding when to make things good 3. deciding what 'good' means

2-panel comic titled "True Power" bare-shirted fighter: UAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHH! I can feel the power overflowing! Master! What is this... bald, bearded master: I don't know... That's scary...

I say "I don't know... that's scary..." a lot because of this comic
