The first prototype for my climbing game is downloadable here :

@FoW_Games also the association between lowpoly ps1 environments and pixel-art was very satisfying as well, I wouldn't have minded monsters with a different treatment, it works !

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@FoW_Games It is a loss that you moved away from the pixel art, to have that with your awesome mechanics gave awesome personality. To optimize away from voxels, there are very cheap methods to achieve the same quality with simple polygons, and you're great at pixel art, no need to hire.

@CharlesBoury It makes total sense yeah, and right there with you with lowcost/frugal techniques. I'll be less jealous as soon as I start experimenting ^^

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@CharlesBoury Question for you, what makes you pivot to Godot, after your experience with Caravan SandWitch on Unreal with Lumen ? I'm a Godot user and kinda jealous of Unreal's GI solutions, and not sure if I can get what I want with Godot's GI

@cuntfriedrice thats how I found my life partner, she's highly dyslexic and didnt want to write, she preferred a bumble video call, the rest is history

@FreyaHolmer i'd say Off Axis is better for tiny taskbar icons, the negative space btw the elements is more balanced than the others, with the hooks more equidistant to the vertices. Maybe have the hooks a teeny bit thinner

@Icehelmet Videogames are art, and art cannot escape the political, not matter how unintended

@lorenschmidt Hold my beer

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@CoreyBrickley Its not trying to be as impressive and energetic as Fury Road, it's more niche, it often has a more "oldtimey studio expressionist" vibe, with a graphic novel structure, cut into chapters, and the camera acts even more as a comicbook panel. The story is denser and spans over 15y

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@PhilosophyCuck Ed Zitron's Bubble Trouble article speaks of GenAI outputs as "data hallucinations", and it describes quite well the uncannyness of GenAI, and even though the point of it is to call out garbage erroneous data, some people exploit this hallucinatory element to cool outcomes

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@PhilosophyCuck There are many tbh, some people have genuinely cool ideas that fit well with the specific workings of GenAI, but "engaging" doesn't mean "ethically made", and knowing about fucked up art processes tends to put me off from the result, however well-made.

@meelypx Youre so goddamn cute omg 🫠

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@RoseDeBerne @Milady__Oscar Oh merci j'avais pas vu 🫶

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@Milady__Oscar @RoseDeBerne Le fils voyait sa mère au fond de la classe et il a quand même fait ce qu'il faisait d'habitude ?

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@FedeItaliano76 Large langage models outputs are basically denoisers, like those used in CGI, to reduce the noise of raytracing. They train them on existing images, increasing the noise on them until theyre able to reconstruct the image out of pure grey noise. Its a denoiser with stolen memory.

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@FedeItaliano76 Just theft. Art IS craftsmanship and IA cannot do what artists do, like 3d printers cannot weld or saw or carve, they can just blurt a specific material from a motorized arm that blindly follows a blueprint made by someone else

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@Cy_lindric Very niche/specific music in my ears + analog writing, no screens. It works super well for me, the headset isolates me from surroundings, music is close to what id want for the project and puts me in the mood instead of distracting me, and screenless pen&paper isolates me as well

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@Meeea @LDeQ_Twitch Oui je m'en rappelle :) ce qui reste vague pour moi c'est ce qui a conduit spielberg à parler d'elle comme ça ensuite. Roberts dit qu'elle est restée professionnelle, qu'elle n'a pas fait de crises ou quoi, donc si elle dit la vérité ca reste étrange comme relation entre les deux

[Baptiste Bourdon @bourdonbapt]

@Meeea @LDeQ_Twitch Ça reste assez vague genre, on sait pas trop ce qui s'est passé. Ça donne l'impression que Spielberg s'est défoulé sur elle pour vent off la pression du tournage, et s'est fait une version ensuite; et ici Roberts a pas envie de faire trop de vagues et reste allusive sur les faits
