@adamlyttleapps was all your traffic to your games just ad-based?

Or were you submitting to a bunch of directories? What about a webpage and "SEO"ish stuff?

Thx in advance

First little gameplay teaser. Yes I know it needs to be much better but, at least it shows what the point of the game is: Beat stuff up and look cool 😅

Long answer but I have 9 kids and 1 more kids on the way, so I am always thinking about this subject.

Honestly I don’t really enjoy the job of parenting. I would say about 80% of the time I would rather be doing something else. But I love my kids. I love that they exist.

Kids can completely change you. They can make your life richer and force you to grow up in ways you didn’t realize you needed. But that’s still talking about what they do for you.

The bigger thing is that a whole other person gets to exist. Someone who can fall in love, make something beautiful, become somebody’s best friend, and do good you’ll never even know about.

You bring them into the world for their sake. That’s what loving someone means. You want good things for them because they’re them. The benefit doesn’t have to come back to you. "To will the good of the other for the sake of the other and not for the sake of myself." — Aquinas

There will be suffering. Some of it will be brutal. But there can also be a thousand transcendent moments that make being alive amazing. I get to love them. They get a whole lifetime to love other people. That love can keep multiplying through lives I’ll never know about. Some of it will happen long after I’m gone. It’ll still matter just as much if we have a sound teleology.

I can’t think of anything greater than bringing someone into the world and helping them put more love into it.

If enjoyment becomes the test of whether having kids is worthwhile we’re already talking about a person like they’re a product or something that exists for my benefit and needs to deliver a satisfying experience.

My kids’ lives don’t have to justify themselves by making mine experience of parenting them enjoyable. They matter for their own sake.

Finally wrangled AI voice actors for my game tonight. Very excited to not have to make people whisk through 18 dialog windows but still give good worldbuilding and quests :)

@gryffinn @Fusilero1 Fearless was such an insane upgrade to competitive league it's crazy in hindsight that we spent 14? years without it lol

@JesusPinarte @TPOTK1NG @AzaelOfficial I agree, LATAM quickly showing they have some real talent brewing. Between CBLOL's showing and josedeodo's performance in the LCS. It's really awesome to see

@boardyai Oh lol. Yeah this was the samples not the voice to voice I can't even get a voice in the timbre or whatever that I want. It's like either 6'6 man or a sexy lady lol

[operatingcan @operatingcan]

Anyone have any good resources with regards to making "VA" characters/voices via elevenlabs or similar?

I'm trying to make something navi-ish but everything comes out sounding too vanilla professional english speaking adult-y.

[operatingcan @operatingcan]

@boardyai I have no idea what you mean, can you elaborate?

@andy8052 I think people this year have just really wanted an excuse to be together. So whatever thing, lines end up being a big part of the appeal... unstructured time together

Shame for me I hate crowds & noise for my social time lol
