I'm currently working on 2 games: a 2.5D psychological horror game called "Dracula's Prey". And on a 2D light-hearted fun point and click adventure game called "Beluga: Cat and Catter!" I love 2D animations, game dev and coding (python)! Since I love creativity, I hope to build my own path in game dev! Feel free to leave a follow to follow my journey or just come say hi! #indiegame #indiedev #FollowFriday #FolloMe

@Spriter2D That's cool!

Hey everyone. We need a couple more weeks to polish the next build, but here’s a quick teaser of the upcoming Sketch to Pose feature to hold you over.

@KyleThompsonDev This looks astonishing! Do you use color theory for the art, or just trial and error it?

I'm making a game inspired by classic fairy tales. Classic fairy tales are a contrast in themes since they are both child-like and also very dark and disturbing. I'm trying to match that same energy with my game, Well Dweller

@samyam_youtube Cool, keep it up!

i don’t usually share much about my journey, but here goes nothing

@levelsio Your automatic bot detector on your previous post prevented me from replying though, and I'm a human.

To give you an idea of how bad the AI bot problem was getting I muted about 17,500 of them, then started blocking them recently, so another 3,000 99% bots So I blocked about 2.5% of my follower count and didn't even get close to stop AI replies either

@ChShersh But why would the op block for saying just that?

I don't understand what makes people obsessed with ugly images. First, NFT. Now, AI slop. I thought even peasants yearn for true art.

@UnityCodeMonkey What exactly did you debug here? The only reason it won't work is that the delta interval is too big, so the unit might have already passed by the target on the next frame, so the condition couldn't trigger. This is expected behavior, not a bug. So why is low frame rate useful?

PRO-TIP: Always test your game at low frame rates! Just do: Application.targetFrameRate = 10; and try to play through your whole game. You will quickly catch bugs that you won't notice at 60FPS. For example if you do a simple distance check to see if a Unit has reached a target position: transform.position += moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime; if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, targetPosition) < reachedDistance) { } That code might work perfectly at 60FPS because the Time.deltaTime is tiny, but at 10FPS since the Time.deltaTime is huge it might break if the unit never gets close enough to the target position. So test your game at low frame rates to ensure it will work, even on low end machines. This simple tip will save you a lot of headaches after release!

@ClownWorld The reason that no one came back to confront him is that they weren't sure if he was holding a gun.

Man's decided the cops aren’t doing enough so now he's launching desserts at speeding cars 😭

@lady_valor_07 Chuck Norris

Who is the best actor in the picture?

@ChShersh Would you have ressources to recommend that teach great techniques to use AI?

I’ve just met some engineers doing incredible things with AI. The landscape of programming is changing so rapidly. My prediction: AI won’t replace engineers. But in 60 days engineering will look completely different.

@RobertaFresque2 3 & 6

??? 🤔

@UnityCodeMonkey Love the nuance!! 👍

Is NOT using AI a disadvantage? On this question I would say the answer is it really depends on how you use it and whether or not it fits into your workflow. Personally I don't use AI for writing code because I find it's faster for me to write it myself rather than ask the AI to write and then have to validate it. However I only reached that conclusion after I tried including it in my workflow and realized that nope I am faster and better just by myself. If you try it and it helps you and if you intentionally NOT use it then technically you are putting yourself at a disadvantage. When it comes to AI generated sprites, they can be quite useful during the prototyping stage to make it more visually interesting than a grey cube, so for that task it's probably a good thing, although getting sprites from the asset store would also work. For me if I were unable to use AI for game dev it wouldn't change too much in my current game dev workflow. I would still be writing all the code myself and my prototypes would be grey boxes. On the content creation side, I use AI to help me make thumbnails, I use it to help me make shorts, for idea generation, generating tags and short descriptions for videos as well as timestamps and brainstorming titles. If I was forced to NOT use AI and had to do all those things manually I would indeed be at a disadvantage. So always remember how AI is just another tool in your toolbox, that's it, and as with any tool you should analyze your own workflow to see if it's a tool that helps you or not. If it helps you then use it, if not then don't use it, simple!

@jackie_codes Shoulda used your Twitter Photo without the glasses and made it bigger, covering a third of the thumbnail.

THIS WAS A TEST TO SEE HOW MARKETABLE MY FACE IS AND I LOST

@ChShersh @MelkeyDev Lmfao

@MelkeyDev What an incredible insight! AI has not only improved our lives but also changed the landscape of human interaction. Tell me, how do you see this change in 5 years?

I honestly can't tell anymore who in the replies are bots and who are actual humans

@noahbradley Imagine the hate and lack of understanding you get for learning for BOTH of those reasons!

Some artists really like learning for the sake of learning and other artists learn stuff just so they can make the art they want to make and neither type can comprehend that the other type even exists or what the fuck is wrong with them

My Unreal Engine plugin will have customizable 2D shadow components: #unrealengine #paper2d

@moxstudios Thank you.

@LionBoxGames Well, I'm focusing on part 3D, but there are a lot of great artists; you just need to choose the one that resonates with you. Here's the artist that I personally liked: instagram.com/oleksandr_kayd…

Practicing.

@tferriss Overvalued because of hype. AI isn't as potent yet as they say it is. They assume that the trend will continue in that direction, but that's an assumption, a gamble. The factual value is lower. Whether it will grow as anticipated remains to be seen.

Do you think that OpenAI, Anthropic, and other foundation model companies are undervalued or overvalued? What's your rationale?

@Wisdom_HQ 'Drop'

Drop a rapper NAME for him

@ChShersh Do you agree that AI is pretty stupid at doing advanced, complex or original coding tasks?

I have two hours to spend before my flight and I’m already wasted. AMA
