regularly scheduled reminder that gen ai shit can fuck off there is no moral use case & seeing it creep up in every possible avenue of tech is the worst kind of plague on trying to be any form of creative worker in the world don't be complicit in mass theft & don't come at me with edge cases

Played the Dolls' Nest demo. Love to play games made by people who got their brains reshaped by BLAME! Between Lorn's Lure last year and this coming out sometime this year, my megastructure gaming needs are being met.

you really do have to make the last 2 percent of the video game huh

I think everyone should try making a game in RPG Maker. Yes I'm serious.

RPG Maker VX Ace is free to own on Steam (offer ends Feb 11th) https://buff.ly/3Q6GFfS

It's done! My Game of the Year video is up, going over my Top 5 games from 2024, and Top 5 games I played for the first time in 2024 but came out earlier. There's plenty of honorable mentions I wanted to point out, and a special bonus at the end of the video! Enjoy!

Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma looks so ugly... RF5 wasn't exactly a looker, either. Almost felt tempted to say the series hasn't handled its transition to full 3D gracefully, but then I remembered Frontier and Tides of Destiny exist and look MUCH better than this.

this is something I've tried to articulate in the past, but couldn't quite find the words. It's why I would describe shows like Girl's Last Tour or games like Coquette Dragoon as "cozy", in spite (or actually because?) of their grim and hopeless settings.

This is true and also why I still have a baseline respect for people who put out absolutely trash because at the end of the day they made something and I didn't lmao

The thing I hate about the "AI is democratizing art" argument is that art has always been democratized. That's what ""bad"" art is. You think I would *choose* to draw like this? No, my body cannot extend all the way to grasp the divine. And so we get to see the roadmaps we take that get us elsewhere

the original Ever17 is one of my favorite games of all time, the idea that people could be saddled with an inferior remake gnaws at my soul. The people deserve the true, undiluted Uchikoshi essence.

Infinity is the series that got me into VNs, so on one hand, it's great that these will be available in English... ...But on the other, it's very important people know that these releases are NOT ideal. If you're thinking of picking these up, please read this thread.🧵(1/7)

I started playing Heaven Burns Red and was wondering how they would try to reconcile the gacha mechanics with the Key-flavored tragic story they are clearly aiming for, but pretty early on they introduce a mechanic for telling you your current party is not canon-compliant.

Heck yeah, few things I love more than an airship in an RPG (and the original FFVII is probably responsible for this) www.siliconera.com/square-enix-...

i've expressed this sentiment elsewhere, but if you're a fantasy author, please don't let any poster in the world convince you that "evil church" is an "overdone trope" lol. water wet trope

currently struggling with how to write TINMFF's ending. I feel like maybe a game that is very explicitly a power fantasy is not the best place to shoehorn a "did you know power fantasies are kinda silly and boring" message. Doesn't stop it from being true.

I've been bookmarking cool royalty-free music on youtube, with the intent of maybe using it in my game(s) at some point. But today a horrible thought assailed me: A lot of these free BGM accounts use AI generated art for their song uploads... Is.. the music... also AI generated?

I've been listening to type-moon podcast Fate/Moon Archive, and when I got to the HF episodes and heard Benn mirror my exact thoughts on why Sakura is kind of boring, I still felt personally attacked because I'm doomed to get unreasonably attached to characters that are let down by the narrative.
