Sigh… I was commenting on your point about what people need to learn to make games (computer and internet), but this has drifted far away from it.

btw, I agree with how unethical so many companies have been. I just think there is more to β€œjust computer and internet”. There are more tools and needs.

So I think LLMs can help you spend less time looking for what you want - or even help you figure out what you need to look for if you are not familiar with the technical concepts.

Well it depends how one uses an LLM.

Personally, I have experienced a decline in content quality and search result. I get much better ones if I explain what I want and ask it to find a good tutorial/documentation about it.

Problem is knowing how to use the tools, not the tools. Always has been.

Love it! Looking forward to see the games that come out of it!

β€œAnybody with computer and internet can learn” they also need time and a sense of security.

I think LLMs can help save time. It is a lot easier nowadays to have an LLM search the web for you to find relevant links about what you want due to the amount of garbage and ad filled pages.

This shit will only take off once there is market for it.
If no gamers play these games, they will just stop supporting the tech.

Knowing Unity, whatever they are making will be half baked and the output will be terrible so this will likely be yet another piece of garbage in the engine

Haha very true, it was a similar experience. I know that people at the front desk do a lot more than just answering calls, so if stuff like that helps them do the other thing more effectively, it could be a useful assistance.

lots of soft keyboard typing, a busy office background, a weird and thick accent… I thought it was an AI at the other end, but I couldn’t be sure.

At the end I asked for their name and they confirmed - Gloria, a digital assistant.

Scary how seamless and efficient the interaction went πŸ₯΅

Just got β€œfooled” by AI 🫣🀯

I called an office to schedule an appointment and the person on the phone was very cordial and efficient (don’t even ask me to spell out my name which usually happens)

but something felt odd…

Haha yes for sure. I am looking to do 3 character profiles for a kids game dialog. I have been using emojis for now and I like the style (I need to get some references)

05.01.2026 14:52 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

True true! Yeah, I should get some references to better clarify what I am looking for. I was not expecting to find this many artists with just that one post πŸ˜…

05.01.2026 09:32 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Do you have a portfolio that I could take a look at?

Here is some more info:
I am looking to do 3 characters to be used in dialog screens. Just one expression per character.

Thanks!

Hey there!

The style would be along the lines of the foxes you have in your art station’s logo section.

They are meant to be used as portraits in a dialog for 3 different characters. I would start with just one expression per character.

Thanks Zev! Great portfolio!
I am still in development phase, so I need to nail down things appropriately! I will keep in touch

05.01.2026 09:21 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

It would be 3~4 and just one expression per character

05.01.2026 09:18 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

The emoji part is just the style. I plan to use it as dialog portraits. For now I wouldn’t animate it tho

and self recommendation is definitely allowed

05.01.2026 02:01 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

and if anyone has any artists they recommend, I would love check out their work!

The emojis I want to make are custom cute animal ones.

Has anyone worked with artists to commission art for their game?

I wanted to make some custom emojis, but I am not really sure how much people would generally charge. I know it varies based on the artist, how detailed and so on.

Also, idk how these dogs learn this but it is wild (and a fun game mode too xD)

Yep yep! Haha
The whole lay down and barking mechanics would be great too!

I feel like making daily puzzles and storing the player actions alongside the high score (for entry validation) would be relatively easy

I thought about something similar, except you are a herding dog and the game is a daily challenge with a global leaderboard to see who can get all the cows into the barn the fastest.

It’s like they grabbed a screwdriver by the blade and tried hammering a nail with the handle.

Using the wrong tool incorrectly to do a job it was not designed to do.

Both
- If there was something in the wall you are grabbing they you can collect tho - I think I saw a gem in one of your other posts - pressing right would grab it and then again would go up

That is good to hear!

My dog recently went through a tooth surgery and oh man, it broke my heart to see how groggy she was. I carried and held her for most of the day.

Oh! wow - had no idea it would jeopardize the ability to be in the Feb next fest. Can you re-release or rebrand after the next fest?

What is stopping you from changing the name and creating a new capsule?
- apart from time and wanting to be done and move to the next game

From what I have seen. Most games get developed with a code name and then the title gets picked later (the marketing portion is also done in the later stages)
