Hot take: AI games that make you manage memory cards missed the point. The world should remember for you. That's why ours does. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling #IndieDev

1,412 runs started on Altworld this week. Every one is someone deciding to live another life for a while. That's the whole job. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling #IndieDev

Coding confession: the rumor engine scares me. NPCs talk about things players did last week, and sometimes they're wrong. That's not a bug. I had to remind myself twice. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling #ScreenshotSaturday

Today's mood: staring at the churn chart and calling it character building. The game is fine. I'm the one being built. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling #IndieDev

Hot take: nobody wants 'AI Dungeon but better'. They want a world that remembers them. That's the whole product. Everything else is chat. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling #SoloRPG

Feeling: proud and slightly terrified, alternating hourly. Today it's proud, because 8 people paid for a browser game this week and that still feels illegal. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling #FreeGame

Unpopular opinion: free AI games should be free to start. 98 people hit the guest wall this week and came back anyway. The old model would have asked for a credit card first. #BuildInPublic #Altworld #Storytelling #GenerativeAI
