The time of my #GDC2025 talk has just been scheduled! 2:10 pm - 2:40 pm March 17. Welcome to drop by & leave a message! #GDC BTW, I'm so lost in the tool --- should I contact ppl by GDC platform or M2M? Really need some suggestions... 😱 schedule.gdconf.com/session/game...

The whisper in silence is my scream.

Scheherazade. I draw a lot during Zoom calls…

Our #indiegame 1001 Nights has been accepted by @acm-sigchi.bsky.social CHI 2025 Interactivity! 🥰"Co-creative story-crafting game with a persona-driven AI character based on GenAI" Can't wait to share the 3rd publication from the game🥰Maybe...it's time for Japanese localization?👺 #chi2025

Thank you so much for playing my game!! 🥰

my idle adventure game Time Bandit is 50% off on Steam! that's like $0.50 per hour of gameplay, not to mention you get to uncover a capitalist conspiracy (priceless). you may, however, question valuing your time in dollar amounts after playing. im not liable store.steampowered.com/app/1481910/...

New Post - Muse: Before You Tweet Hello! Microsoft's new Muse system isn't trying to generate game ideas. If you want a concise summary of what the paper tries to do, and a few notes and criticisms about the project, I wrote something about it. www.possibilityspace.org/blog-before-...

while i'm here, a quick shout-out to the Knives & Paintbrushes crew (@mtrc.bsky.social, @florencesn.bsky.social, @pyrofoux.bsky.social) – everything i read of theirs is super thoughtful & original it's so hard to make real conceptual progress in this area rn & they are setting a phenomenal example

Ok here we go #DeepOpen

Welcome to join our London meet-up for creative AI ☺️

Yeah, well... WHAT WE OWE THE DEAD - my new sci-fi novel - will be out in March with Set Margins'. >> www.setmargins.press/books/what-w... << The book is beautifully illustrated by @demigiant.bsky.social, and if you're into #philosophy and #games, you might enjoy this one :)

My indie game for 15 seconds. You can only survive by literally telling stories to an #LLM King in 1001 Nights 🔮

Beyond the AI buzz, can we *actually* make a fun and creative #indiegame based on #LLM with considerations? 🤔Here's my try. 🔮 1001 Nights is a story-crafting game where you must survive an AI King by telling stories, based on mid-east folklore. Steam Demo: store.steampowered.com/app/2782660/...

No one: Me: I want to draw yuri fan art of DeepSeek x OpenAI

Study with Scheherazade 🔮✨ #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #indiedev

Had an amazing panel on Emergent Narratives hosted by Prof. Jonathan Lessard. Got more interested in LLM-enhanced systems that can create memorable micro-stories players want to share... 😆 @tanyaxshort.bsky.social ky.social @maxkreminski.bsky.social www.concordia.ca/cuevents/off...

As someone new to TikTok, I was worried about making shorts (I'm a bad editor) But thanks to the welcoming VTubers who visited Red Note, I felt encouraged to explore their space! Though I only post game promos there, I'm getting more comfortable with the platform :) www.tiktok.com/@1001nights.ai

Seriously, this game's art direction is stunning. Vibrant and unique but not ostentatious and somehow so chill. Cool and confident.

Hi! An intro: I was an artist working with technology with a day job in tech policy research and then tech policy and tech-art gone thrown into a whirlpool with Gen AI. To paraphrase Nam June Paik: “I work with Gen AI in order to hate it properly.” A few things I do —

This weeks AI and Games newsletter discusses the UK's consultation on AI for copyright: - What is this about and why now? - The UK governments stance on AI - What impact it could have on games. And, oh yeah, why the implied direction is a terrible idea. www.aiandgames.com/p/what-the-u...

Hey #portfolioday. I do 3D & 2D illustration and pixel art. I'm now making art for my own indie game '1001 Nights' 🔮 store.steampowered.com/app/2782660/... My main job is as a Creative Tool & Game AI researcher, but I still draw a lot (especially during Zoom calls) 🎨

You asked for it! Is there no good video game writing? Here's a better question, what makes video game writing *interesting*? Featuring excerpts from 1000xRESIST and Mouthwashing: florencesmithnicholls.com/2025/01/20/g...
