Started work on a blockout earlier this month which I sadly won't have time to finish (add it to the pile). Might as well post it here for #Blocktober! It's the hub area for a hypothetical medieval Resi game (Resident Medievil?) #leveldesign #HappyHalloween

I was there! 😁

“Video games will be made by Grok!”

Video games will be dynamically generated by Grok in the future.

@FPSthetics As a game developer, it absolutely is possible. It would just take at least a double A studio to make it. Sprites or not, an open world is a mammoth undertaking.

Your argument about sprites being too large makes no sense. How do you think we normally handle textures at distance

[David Dalton @TheDevsJourney]

@JaredRBair As much as this game looks cool in its own right, I think you’re missing the appeal of the AI slop image. They’re yearning for a large scale open world AAA game with that vibe, and all the promise which comes with that shot.

@thomasmahler @imbratorX Couldn’t agree more. A lot of gamers miss this point. A talented team is like lightning in a bottle, the studio name they produce games under is meaningless.

The best games of all time aren’t what they are because of some paragraph about “who we are” on the studio’s website.

@CRegnant Mr Blobby was insanely popular for many years and still has more recognition than this Chiitan

@ShakaInc Sometimes I think taking playtest friction as gospel is killing level design. Let players get lost on occasion. Fuck em

@alexfredo87 @ShenmueForever @runwayml Looks like shit bro, do some actual work

@DougRDNaylor That’s about the same price as an electric shaver Doug! 😂 Just DIY!
