Kabuto Park was looking quite ugly at first 🪲👀
I love this trend, it's so important to not compare your work to finished products and remember that everything started as something clunky 🌱💕

Three balls with different coloured shadows. The ones on the left are marked brightness only. The ones on the right are marked brightness and hue.

It can be subtle or striking, depending how far you push it, but it just looks so much nicer than simply having a more muddy version of the same colour.

🪲🌻🌲 Kabuto Park is OUT NOW! 🐞🪷🎉

A Discord audit log showing four bots banned from a server: Viggle, InsightFaceSwap, Glifbot, and DomoAI.

Somebody in one of my servers posted a list of three others with a similar function. The four IDs (I'm including the one above just as a backup) to ban are:

1153984868804468756
1288638725869535283
1090660574196674713
1104973139257081909

Use the /ban command and enter those numbers for the user.

Discord recently partnered with a Generative AI called DomoAI and apparently they’re in every server but sneakily don't show up in the member list. However they still use the art/images sent in the server to train their AI. To bypass this, people have found the AI’s ID so we can ban them. The AI has already been banned in this server, but for anyone here who has a server or is in another art/creative space, please use this advice and ban the following ID using the /ban command. 1153984868804468756 It may also be smart to start watermarking your pieces.

More on this btw. Potential way to kick it from your servers.

The ID is
1153984868804468756

Remember, never believe an AI bot's claims that they won't train your stuff without permission. They will.

#Discord

Well, it finally happened. Someone trained an AI on my voice, and used it to generate narration for their YouTube video.

Feels pretty bad! Don't like it!

I've submitted a privacy complaint with YouTube - hopefully they'll take it down soon.

Wow I'm getting old, and at quite the same time CLion become free for non commercial project, funny coincidence x)

It looks good but, I have no imagination about what type of game it would be.

Less "parasite" noise with less individuals elements displayed
Better hierarchy information with color
Better angle of camera

Same, A for readability

Ah, it's been a while since I worked on Godot. I recovered an old multiplayer project I have done and added camera tracking to it. Not bad, although the code inside is a messy and I'll have to redo it 🧯😶‍🌫️

Paper prototype of Magia Arena

It's not a pitch yet, and nothing is set in stone. Even though I've already got a few ideas and paper prototype, I need to do more research to fix the gameplay and the genre.

But it have some potential! (with maybe some scope creap erff)

5/5

a pixel art of a sunset over the ocean with bubbles floating in the water Alt: Pokemon mystery dungeon of the sky/time/shadow emotional beach scene.

All wrapped up in a mysterious atmosphere that builds up in the background, which questions the player and guides his curiosity. What is magic? Why do monsters attack? Who are you?

Game: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
4/5

...and the laughs due to the ‘oups’, clumsiness and undesirable effects of the spells 🧯.

Like a fireball that could cause a gigantic fire and lead you straight to your death... if you don't dive into the iced lake that has melted thanks to the heat 🧠.

Anime: Konosuba OP 2
3/5

The game's vibe would be to alternate between the epiphany of discovering, understanding spells, their effects, and using them well in this chaos, as you planned 😏...

Anime: Full metal alchemist
2/5

Magicka 2 Game https://store.steampowered.com/app/238370/Magicka_2/

Into the Breach Game https://store.steampowered.com/app/590380/Into_the_Breach/

And here's my new #gameidea !

Have you thought about mixing the chaotic Magicka 2 with
the tactical Into The Breach ?
I'm thinking of a magic combat game with a huge amount of spells that rewards experimentation and combining them, but where you also have to deal with the unknown side effects.

1/5

Hello world !

Remember when I was working on a game with marbles ?
Well, after redefining my objectives and the vibe of the game I want, I've gone in a completely different direction.

Teaser, it'll be about fantasy and magic, stay tuned...

Its aim is to link short and long term goals, and center it around what you want and the causes first, with planning and steps achievable then. I have made a mix of what I found interesting in OKR, Smart Goals and some variant like PACT

Tree Blooming Goals methodology to link short and long term goals.

Hey, after doing research and thinking about what I wanted to achieve with my game, I finally came up with a new framework for thinking about objectives, its name:
Tree
Blooming
Goals

In french, "T'es Beau Gosse" ! 😄

Would need to test it first, what do you think ?
