Not Creative Games

Indie studio building Torvane, a multi-genre game made with AI tools by a guy who isn't a game dev. Real costs, real fails, real wins. No hype.

@dougboneparth It was nice to have one day without it, until it impacted my Claude authentication.

@brianoliveri Thanks for the connect!

@johnHarry1018 Views yes, but interactions are light. I think social media is my weakest link…

[Not Creative Games @NotCreativeGame]

@DEVIN__SETH Working on a new game that puts more effort into motion and physics, with cinematic lighting, destructible environments, and skill based PvP melee combat. Still early… but making progress!

Yesterday the Kings Room was mostly grey stand-ins with no real textures.

Today it's got torn iron on the hull walls, debt racks, oil bowls, a hoist frame, the hearth, and brick panels in whole and broken versions, so the walls have something to break into.

Lighting's still placeholder and there's plenty of grey left. Getting closer every night.

Tip if you're making art with Claude: screenshot its own render and draw right on it. Circle the part that's wrong, or draw a line for the angle you want.

I drew one line where his knuckles should sit and Claude nailed it on the next pass.

A photo of a real clenched fist helped too.

[Not Creative Games @NotCreativeGame]

Took five tries to give my fighter a real fist.

Try one tucked his thumb inside his fingers. Throw a punch like that and you break your own thumb.

Then the fingers bent backwards. Then the pinky and ring finger pointed off the palm. Then the pinky knuckle sat too high, so I drew a line where it had to go.

Number five is the one I signed off.

Then I found out no move in the game uses it yet.

How I got it right is in the reply.
