There are numerous Fighting Fantasy books written by Steve Jackson, but which ones were written by the Steve Jackson that founded our company? Do you know the answer? Pledging for the first five Fighting Fantasy books is now open! #FightingFantasy www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...

Apparently @unity.com only the lay offs are stable. They are coming like no tomorrow. Oh and the stupid doubling down to AI, GaaS and mobile. It is not a game engine, it's a Skinner-Box generator. Now with (de)generative AI.

Just a quick one to mention that both BlackBox and my URP Toon shader are on a pretty good discount on the Asset Store – don't ask me for how long!

@unity.com 's asset store is increasingly full of AI crap. It makes me sad. On the top of that they are refusing refunding purchases where the publisher failed to disclose that their assets made with AI. Fab.com it is, in the future, I guess.

Horizon Zero Shame. We are in a new era, shameless plagiarism without even the attempt to conceal it.

Share a pic and the title of a narrative game you love. I'm not sure if Syberia counts. On the puzzle-story axis it's on the puzzle side a little bit. But still.

@unity.com is at it again. "Good job". I sincerely wait until I can ditch this train wreck.

We finally should decide if we say that games, and in them, we, have the influence on the gamers to make them more complacent or more violent, more peaceful or more aggressive. If we say, what and how put in games matter this way, all these years fighting against censorship was a waste.

What UMA should have become if Unity decides all those years ago to actually help developers with great plugins instead of concentrating on useless projects they eventually shut down. Epic is doing a great job lately, for Indies too.

What punishment the asset store creator deserves when they sell assets on the store and they disclose that it was made with generative AI more than a year after release? Probably no refund, no remedy. Obviously all of their assets got hidden in my library to avoid using any of them.

I'm not sure if @unitygames.bsky.social can afford this glaring problems with their "Your Plus license will expire" email. No word about $200k/y, "you lose splash screen customization", etc. How long can this company keep up not reading the fricking room?
