Great thread. Anyone can spot bad writing. It's ingrained in us. You'll just know and be able to articulate it. If it's good, it's harder for me to say why it's good. All I can say "Wow, that was amazing." It's more of a feeling.

I went to a couple of genAI talks at GDC and came away feeling very secure in my job. The amount of labor that goes into "co-creating" stories with AI simply isn't worth the effort.

the risks of listening to music as a writer

submitted 71 days ago • 14 comments

fellow devs / vtubers / anyone needing music - if you can't afford to hire a musician (a lot are cheaper than you're expecting), don't use AI music, just go to dova syndrome. thousands of entirely free to use music & sound effects there!! dova-s.jp/EN/

VERY FUN NEWS! ✨ SAG-AFTRA's Game Jam Waiver is now publicly available!! There's no way I can fit absolutely everything I want to say about it in 300 characters—both about how to use the waiver/why it's so neat + how absurdly grateful I am to the folks who helped make it a thing—but it's SO cool.

I played games my whole life and it's the stories that made me so immersed in them. I played my first visual novel about a year ago and I've been addicted since. Play more visual novels!!
