Rhythm Doggo on Steam You wanted to play a video game and just got transformed into a dog! Rhythm Doggo is a classic platform adventure where you play as a dog and make music on the way. Can you go back to your human form?

Announcing that Rhythm Doggo has a steam page now! It'd be super helpful if you wishlist it!

Chatbots โ€” LLMs โ€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When theyโ€™re โ€œrightโ€ itโ€™s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. Thatโ€™s all.

cover of a stock art pack comprised of four scary monsters with wide toothy jaws: a shadow humanoid with shadow blades, a giant digger worm, a flying head with many eyes and tentacles and a giant centipede with a salamander head.

don't be fooled by their charming smiles.

these monsters are bloodthirsty bastards but you can have them anyway as a stock art pack.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off aroundโ€ฆ

GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

DOC'S BACK

TELL A FRIEND

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

Trying out CrossCode, which has convinced me that games need to do away with silent protagonists and give me more monosyllabic goobers instead.

Dive in the thoughts of a trans girl through her diary in this narrative platformer! The gameplay will flow to the sound of her voice while she shares her view of her body, romance, emotions, and much more... Filled with handcrafted visuals and a touching story, this game will strike your heart.โœจ

If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Um. mockup for a Sam & Max Playdate game that probably won't happen. It was nice to be asked though! Thanks @rodkin.online

Here's my initial mockup. I love the 1bit screen of this console to bits! Also testing b/w dithering on Sam's sprite.
