James Earl Jones signed over the rights to recreate his voice with AI. www.forbes.com/sites/timlam... It might feel creepy or tacky, but you could argue this is part of his wishes.

Could something like Quilt be interesting for a #gamedev game jam?

The idea is that you make a small map, and others map maps, and you stitch them together into one big (possibly incoherent) world. I decided to make it #Gameboy themed so it would feel like a piece of hardware for the theme. (Not the exact dimensions.) Built with #vuejs #JavaScript

The problem with "no servers" and p2p only is devices can go on and offline at any time. Sending a message to someone currently offline requires your message to attempt to jump around, trying to stay online, until the recipient comes online -- which could be a waste.

If you get a high enough level in Capitalist you can order food every day. But there are too many gold sinks for anyone to unlock the Capitalist class; you have to get it by RNG during character generation.

Competition is the only thing that would make Valve change pricing.

Seed-stage crowdfunding? Just one slide: "I made Qud and now I'm making xyz."💰

Surely they will battle it out and the fittest will survive?

I am going to shoehorn one of my existing ideas into this theme by adding some #skeuomorphism. My idea is to make a game-making tool like #Bitsy -- but that allows games to be patched together in a giant grid. Codenamed "Quilt". 🪡

Make connected grid game together

I have only noticed this in Bluesky.

They can always make the new things options that can be toggled. Personally I would love (good) voice acting in any game with text dialog.

Meta progression for a RL means you gain something even though your individual runs are permadeath. Google it for lots of (mostly reddit) discussions.

Sometimes. But as heretic to traditional roguelike doctrine, I like meta-progression.

Solving puzzles requires creativity, but you have be creative in the exact same way the puzzle-creator was. I want the option try many things, and have some ideas work. Or brute-force it if I am feeling tired.

Also some games I want to try out, but I don't think I will play much. These often sit in my wishlist. Better for the dev to get $1 at least.

I actually think this is a great idea, especially if your saved game is saved if you buy it fully. Sometimes I don't want to play a demo because (a) the experience might be watered down, or (b) my progress is ephemeral.

But it's a monthly fee vs. a pay-as-you-rent cost. Plus it uses some algorithm or agreements to determine what the developers get paid.
comment in response to post
Except the devs get no money if it returned.

Just go the Minecraft route: have a dangerous element, but allow it to be turned off. Peaceful mode should please a big audience.

Some telemetry can predict when we've read something. So in a sense just passively reading a post can have some impact on the algorithms that control reality here.

Only idea I have is for physically balancing things, stacking shapes. But is that fun enough for a game?

Static electricity? Teeny sparks

Instead they probably sat around trying to determine how profit-maximize gaming and VR, murdering all fun and creativity.

Imagine if there was just one competent game designer on the team and they got just 50M of that budget. We could have something truly amazing.

I think auto-correct got an LSD LLM infusion at some point.

So you need to implement just a little bit of TS to get to True Neutral? Maybe ECMAScript TC39 😁

It feels like PC CPUs haven't gotten any faster in the last 10 years -- just more cores. An M2 is nice but honestly I can't tell the difference between that and an SSD.
comment in response to post
Instead? We could do both.
