imagine a world where ai can do game preservation imagine a world where nfts can remove garbage from the ocean imagine a world where lootboxes can prevent cats from hunting native birds with the power of scams and saying whatever you want, you can imagine anything!

our game's demo is going to be in Steam Next Fest next week, and it'll be the first time it's playable outside of a physical event, which is exciting! will probably talk more about the game and the bits I did once the demo's live

I'm planning (🙏) to go to GDC to give a mini-talk about "The Annual Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival" at the Experimental Games Showcase! I love this little project, so I'm pumped to talk about it! I last went to GDC in 2016 to show a student project, so I'm really excited to finally go again!

genuinely feel for anyone in AI or proc-gen spaces getting splash damage from genAI backlash, but it's all the more reason to call out OpenAI which deliberately chose to create this issue they use cancer research, and everyone else's work as stolen valour to promote their absolute scam of a product

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

the difference between "we can procedurally generate narratives that adapt to the player" and "we can use chatGPT to generate narratives" is a bit like the difference between "we can use food processors and other tools to speed up making food" and "if we throw food on the floor maybe it'll be good"

I wrote this post about the illusion that indie is a 'superior development style' about a week ago and waffled on whether or not it was still relevant enough to post. Aftermath putting up a podcast on the same topic today convinced me to finally shove it out the door. auratriolo.com/blog/2025/01...

5 tongue-in-cheek game writing exercises that are a more realistic representation of what most game writers do (in my experience) than a branching dialog tree:

I really need to do some more post mortem Wild Bastards stuff. If folk are keen on particulars let me know, normally I end up doing a breakdown for a conference talk but didn't end up doing one last year. Could do a thread or even a video? For now I will just show that levels were hex based.

here's my blog post about how people who use generative ai are deeply estranged from themselves and reality itself, their souls drifting rudderless in open water, asphyxiating www.joewintergreen.com/i-think-the-...

Sending love out to every author who learned that their publisher’s marketing plan for their new book was to have an intern visit a remote woodland in winter, dig a hole in the frozen earth, and whisper their book’s title once, ‘neath the crescent moon.

seems like there's some confusion about how game design works, luckily I sometimes do game design so I can explain here's our scenario - in our game we have a room and the only thing we've made interactable is this piece of paper on a desk

was seeing peoples hot takes on that "Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good" article so read it myself, and wow what a hot mess there's something kind of offensive about the way the article casually suggests spending too much on graphics is the cause of industry layoffs and then just moves on

something that's easy to misunderstand about genAI is it's not some fun little discovery someone made and now people are trying to use it for stuff, it's the end result of a dedicated multi BILLION dollar mission to create artificial intelligence by any reasonable measure it's a failure or fraud

perfect example of what I meant the other day when I said genAI was a "plausible response generator" look at what it's done here - it's taken a bunch of information, and based on a prompt, successfully extrapolated a plausible answer which is actually worse than useless
