Remember! Unless a generative AI company is making its own database resources or going around and getting licenses from real artists, then their whole business model is based in theft! Most Gen AI isn’t innovative, it’s lazy, illegal and for trend chasers who can’t even make products

Hi folks! The second episode of Indie Game Garden is live. I interviewed French game developer Etienne Pouvreau (@smolware.dev) about innovating on the classics and the joy of building an engine to make small games.

Full interview here! share.transistor.fm/s/d8bc656b

Thanks for listening ❤︎

video games were perfect in the early aughts…soulcalibur’s tutorial aims to prove this from the jump by naming its first story mission character the “edge master”

i'm having a blast with mewgenics. it very well could be my game of the year. still, it's addicting in a way that sometimes doesn't feel great for my brain. here's a video about nine indie games you've never heard of to help you break up your marathon cat-breeding sessions.

Opinion: This Is The First Game That's Come Close To Rivalling The Best Paper Mario But how do they fare in a straight-up head-to-head?

I love writing for Nintendo Life. Here's some thoughts on Escape from Ever After, a recent Paper Mario-like that I thoroughly enjoyed!

I really appreciate it!! Apple Podcasts and Spotify are two of the major services, but then there are some smaller ones like Deezer. Here’s the Apple Pods link, but lmk if you want me to drop another one: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

It’s taken me a while to get to this one, but time for me to believe the hype. Never seen a deckbuilder as stylish as Wildfrost!
