Dear indie game devs

I'm still not where I want to be, maybe I'll never will

Job searching is alienating, thanks to AI

I'm coming near the moment where my choice will determine my next months and years, for the worst

Still want to make games, one way or another

Dear indie game devs

I'm writing you from some desolate lands where I must talk to some costly probabilistic creature to find a job

Hoping to come back soon, but I don't know when

Currently stuck in #deverance mode with not much time left

Before the void

The first part of the joke is "PS6"

The second part is "2027"

The punchline being the price, whatever it may be

On seeing the faintest sign of hope and still waiting to have good reasons to believe in it

When your fondest video game memories are featured in the "25 old game gems that nobody knows"

Hot take: If you don't want to put an instruction manual for you tech device, whatever it may be, and instead, you put a minuscule piece of paper, barely readable, with strange "universal" icons, I'd rather have you put a nfc tag in the device itself so i can scan it & get the online pdf

Thinking about the biggest game I want to make that will need, not only to write a plethora of dialogues, research notes & notes about research leads

Good thing: by design, it no a monolith but a saga

Strong, distinct, multiple paths for each story arcs/angles

2027?

The more hardware goes to "realistic" rendering, the more "radical" visual design will be important

The remake is pretty, but I would have fall in love with clay looking graphics, wool, "full puppets", or anything that is not just "prettier" (like, other materials)

Having seen the season finale for "Silo", I think it depict the accurate scenario AI doomers think of

Minus the whole "saving people" plan

Maybe a "Black Mirror" level of uneasiness related to the precision of it, even "adapted" to AI

At least the shareholders will be happy

Meanwhile, Germany is trying to make a remake nobody asked for
