Ben

I decided to my own dream game: a city builder auto battler!! It's called project skyshard and you can try the demo right now on steam :D Give it a go! I'd love to get as much feedback as possible, it's still very much in development. Also please wishlist the full game <3

doing my first little dev stream on the new youtube channel, come hang! youtube.com/live/vRIg94N1h…

From a local competition, i like this pic!

- Godot plugin updater: Godot plugins don't have native update support. This little script sets up projects with all plugins you want and keeps them updated - GodexCLI: a Godot plugin that functions as an inline auto-complete using Codex. Anti vibe-coding, just more efficiency

Here are some open source project I've been working on (linked below): - Steam Uploader: putting builds up on steam was such a bad experience, I built a little tool to make it easier - SkyShard Public: all of our unit, enchant, encounter, hero... data. For people making tools

I cant believe i was paying for adobe products when tools like gimp and kdenlive exist. There's so much cool free software out there.

Im a digital farmer, just planting seeds hoping some of them may sprout (these videos are months old)

This was just a random reflection I had when trying to figure out why i love some games and movies so much more than others. Most of them also tend to perform really well!

To me, the most admirable thing someone can do that really resonates (when playing a game, watching a movie etc...) is when that thing confidently knows what it wants to be and unapologetically follows that unique vision.

Somebody should do a video on why all the people who knew what they were talking about were like, “yeah I’m not worried about this” while everybody else tried to get you all scared🤔

Due to unforeseen circumstances that definitely aren't my own personal fault, we weren't able to participate in the Steam Summer Sale this year. So today we're kicking off the Whoops We Missed the Steam Summer Sale Sale and Skyshard is 20% off for a limited time! If you like building cities, deep strategy, or blowing stuff up, this game might be for you. Link below.

The magic of youtube. I made a 40 minute powerpoint presentation on a 100 sub channel about the game dev journey and release. I never expect anything, but always fun to open the dashboard and see random big numbers pop up! Play the long term :)

@Daraen993 Yeah sadly that's where the short term profits are :/

@ItsBen321 I think one of the most unfortunate turns on the technology has been its absurd focus on image and video generation. We want data analysis, not generation

When people say "AI" do they mean: AI the advanced auto-complete google simulator? AI the labor theft generative slop creator? AI that modeled all proteine structures and solved math conjectures? People who hate and love AI are both correct, such a stupidly overloaded word

@drekkz AI slop?

@ItsBen321 It's not a nitpick it's an answer to your ambiguous question. If you vent ambiguous AI slop you're going to get called stupid on the internet. Welcome to the internet.

@drekkz ..I know people in my circles who always refer to AI a certain way so I wouldn't mind getting input on how others view it and what their main definition is. Instead the replies got filled with people taking this as a personal attack because it has become their whole personality.

@drekkz Brother your first reply was a nitpick on how the word is not "overloaded" but "ambiguous"... it's both and much more, i can find us some more suitable descriptors if you wish. And welcome to the internet where people vent their thought on platforms, however..

@drekkz Thanks for your lecture about the word ambiguous. I know how my question was posed, that is the whole point.

@ItsBen321 Actually? I explained to you that your question was ambiguous and you are still blaming the way people use ambiguous words. "What a way to read in between the lines instead of actually reading my response."

@H0rizon_Infinit I noticed this is a fruitless pursuit, this reply proves that you dont even understand the conversation. So long 🫡

I loved that as a content creator you basically have to manage and learn multiple skills, basically multiple jobs. Maybe that's why i like game development more, similar challenge but instead of being the entertainment through content, I shape the entertainment within content.
