@Ttona107 Nice to meet you, I'm in a similar situation.

[gebirged @gebirged]

@SverunGames It looks exactly as does Severance in my memory

@mono2568 Original, cute and looks fun. Nice work!

@okajimania What is the way forward? AAA companies are trying to recently enter the indie territory. Inide devs got new shiny AI tools to increase the scale. Does everybody meet in the middle? What is the moat then?

[gebirged @gebirged]

@RenaineGame Hi Chompy, I forgot the fruits :(

[gebirged @gebirged]

@RomanKitayama 3 titles per year? That's an insane output. Most people struggle with one title per 3 years.

Even if you don't want to participate in the golden age of AI gaming, a lot of us are already in a TINA state - There Is No Alternative.
AI sweeps through so many domains, that unless you are willing to own something, you might end up with nothing on the table at some point.
Don't want to make games? Fine, but you better have something else worth selling.
I know that the margins are terrible and that marketing is borderline desperation. I know mate. I have children, family, mortgage to pay. The end of my career looks like the end of the barrel.
I'm, not going to take this lying down like a dog. I will fight as I always did. At least I won't regret that I did not try.
It takes so little to develop using AI - just check on the agents once in a while. You can other things in the mean time.
Every one of you that still faces this fate with his head held up high is my brother. We are going to get through this.

If you're into survivor-style games, here is a solodev asking for feedback: https://t.co/ahY1J6EjHm

[はっさく@ゲーム制作 @hassakugamedev]

デモ版を公開しましたが、まだあまり遊んでもらえていません。

がむしゃらに開発を続け、自信を持って遊んでほしいと言えるゲームになりました。
正直もっと多くの人に遊んでほしいです。

しかし、一個人開発者には限界も感じています。

どうか、プレイや拡散で力を貸していただけないでしょうか。

[gebirged @gebirged]

@CodeofTheSavage That looks too cool to be true. I could choose to be intimidated by this effort or expired. I will take the latter. Hope you'll blow through Steam like a hurricane!

[gebirged @gebirged]

@praynex Oh man, I wish you all the best and I will follow your progress. Makes me feel like a wimp for doing it while keeping a full time job.

Legendary block 002: Past Self
An echo of your ship haunts your path 3 seconds behind, firing your previous shots.

@haru2401game 80% towards "what I would like to play". The remaining 20% just because sometimes I don't know myself.
I made that decision at the beginning to never even enter the rabbit hole of chasing other peoples preferences.
There is no way I would satisfy everyone.

[gebirged @gebirged]

@chammkue Wow, amazing dynamic!

@peko1487584 Cool. Do they jump out of the aquarium, or pulling them on deck ends with a fight?

[gebirged @gebirged]

@krajzeg Afraid of some tinsy-winsy fluid mechanics equations? ;]

@haru2401game Rime Rounds affect every weapon the ship is equipped with, but you can mix and match it with something that offsets this penalty. There are over 100 legendary blocks to choose from.

[gebirged @gebirged]

Presenting legendary block 001: Rime Rounds
Land enough hits and freeze an enemy ship solid.
The price: your guns hit like soft noodles.

Working with AI is strange.
I just created an entity that perceives the world 10 million times faster and has access to all the knowledge in the world.
Its entire purpose in life is to do some menial task for me. Our worlds barely overlap and yet I'm the reason for its existence.
It's sad to watch it go.

@ahilahil2273230 Thanks for the encouraging words. I started with no game dev experience, so I had to learn the hard way which of my ideas are deliverable and which I have to cut out of scope. The prototyping process was brutal.
