For all of these game devs that keep coming out saying, "well we had to use AI to generate placeholder images for our game otherwise it wouldn't work."

I present to you, Slay the Spire II

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels

The limiting factor in shipping indie games isn't the engine - it is the willpower and/or life situation of the developer(s).

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs.

There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

A four-strip Calvin and Hobbes comic, written and illustrated by Bill Watterson.

Panel 1: Calvin's dad is sitting in front of his computer, saying: "It used to be that if a client wanted something done in a week, it was considered a rush job, and he'd be lucky to get it."

Panel 2: Calvin's dad is resting his chin on his hand, saying: "Now, with modems, faxes and car phones, everybody wants everything instantly! Improved technology just increases expectations."

Panel 3: Calvin's dad says: "These machines don't make life easier - they make life more harassed."

Panel 4: In the background, Calvin is reading the back of a microwave meal package, saying: "Six minutes to microwave this?? Who's got that kind of time?!" while Calvin's dad says: "If we wanted more leisure, we'd invent machines that do things LESS efficiently."

I'm doing something different for my next #Godot plugin:
Getting it out there early-access style

Here's #ResourceTweens πŸ“¦

A plugin to create, edit and use Godot's Tweens as Resources from the inspector.

So, why make it? πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
