deltarune fans go five minutes without being so overly woke that they actually take issue with kris being masc presenting. Saw real comments saying "this isn't Kris it's a white man" are we for real. You're never gonna make it treating nonbinary people like this

I AM ALSO NOT AT ALL SAYING WANTING CONTROL IS A MASCULINE TRAIT WOAH WOAH WOAH im saying that kris’ complex gender identity (more complex than true neutral androgyny) mirrors their ongoing struggle for control over their life jeez I should just stop putting my opinions online :P

they want to convince you this MMO with a 5 hour OST, walk through with original art, made up glyphs that correspond to roman text and cohesively designed environment/characters is a server test. Do not believe them!!!!!!

In this messy discourse of ai-slop this, slop that, what's real gamedev, ceos etc.. I want to remind all developers of this. Do not buy into the fear mongering that #indiedev is dead. The amount of games you compete with is _the same_, literally hasn't changed in years.
Putting a game on Steam costs $100. You get it back once the game earns $1,000. By October 2025, about two-thirds of that year’s releases hadn’t made $1,000 yet, per Gamalytic. Most new Steam games haven’t even paid back their entry fee. Did yours?

If you want to make games, nothing has changed. Keep on keeping on. If someone beats you to market, no they haven't, they released a rip off and the games industry has dealt with those for as long as there have been games.

If you pay attention, you'll notice the only games getting cloned by AI are lazy, boring gimmick games that only exist to go viral. Often times, these games are themselves created with AI. If YOUR game is creative, interesting, and complex.. You have nothing to worry about!
A game developer has canceled its public demo over fears people could use AI to copy the game before launch Alliance Arts will hold closed playtests instead, with rules banning participants from using AI to analyze or copy the game

How is your WHOLE game gonna get copied before it’s even out? The gimmick for the final boss? The cool animation on the enemy that’s only in the last world? I’d like to think indies know how to practice restraint with what they show off on socials before launch.

oh fuck this went bigger than I expected :O It’s great seeing other peoples’ takes on this and I will concede that I’m definitely speaking too definitively and from a privileged position

There are absolutely some simpler games that aren’t necessarily made with “less integrity,” I was speaking in terms of what I personally artistically value in games without taking enough time to consider that what I respect and what I actually enjoy playing aren’t always the same

This “vibe coders copying indie games before they launch” debacle is interesting to me. A dev with integrity should understand that the execution is what truly matters. Like, the only games this affects are the viral-bait games that start and end at their elevator pitch.
