Impossibly huge thanks to @aeon.bsky.social @sublimemarch.bsky.social @aosher.bsky.social perdix for co-running the game with me to the end
And nether, toast and sand for running the game before that
I'm glad people seem to have gotten something out of it

All my stuff on Itchio is half price in an Anti AI Games sale. I believe the beingness of Art is revealed in the making process. I find the making process is what makes a work meaningful. I think my games are a good illustration of this. itch.io/s/215490/ant...

Vanitera, Year 450 is over. It was a year long Catpahract-based discord wargame featuring 240 players
It was the first big discord game to pop up after O/U and has been a wild experience. I've thought about Vanitera every day for a year. A million lessons learned but overall I'm really happy.

Wherein I use the Japan-exclusive Ultima Underworld PS1 remake as an excuse to rant about RPG combat, the Immersive Sim “genre,” and *checks notes* materialist vs idealist power fantasies. Shares & reposts are greatly appreciated!

You can 100% tell from how it plays if a game was vibe coded. The inability to tell your vibe coded game feels like slop is basically skill issue imo.
To be 100% fair, AI generated code is not the problem. There are only so many ways you can implement a platformer or physics or dialogue system.
It's the creative direction, assets and story that take the longest and that's where you really see and feel the slop. Luckily, this can't be hidden.

This is one of the scenarios I always run by studios asking about whether they should use AI: your generative AI is generating tremendous tech debt at heavily subsidized token costs, and even minor corrections are likely going to burn even more. Can your studio take that risk?
At first it was “how does this new feature work” and developers would be hazy on details. Now it’s “how do *existing* features work ensure compatibility with *new* features?”, or discovering core architectural decisions Claude made 8 months ago just now emerging as problems for future development.

It's kind of astonishing how little AI boosters seem to understand about "what you pay for" with code. You're not paying for "business outcomes" and only sort of for "products". What you're actually paying for, what the bulk of the cost actually is, is a person who knows the system.

In the last year, No More Robots has funded + is currently funding a dozen games, and has paid numerous devs to make prototypes happen for free
But obviously, getting press is absolutely impossible for us, because only doom and gloom gets clicks

yeah gonna have to strongly recommend against using the unreal engine at this point unfortunately
"Yes, we are vibe-coding things," Wassmer said.
"That means our engineers are no longer writing the bulk of the code, but they are still guiding the tools to get the architectural result we want."
"We’re not ‘one-shotting’ the engine; we’re iterating with AI to ship features developers want..."

synching is a little bad but here's a muppet I just made. included my hands to show you the control scheme. pressure sensitive right trigger operates the mouth. when released the mouth is open. this means that my hand movements on the controller match where their position would be in a hand puppet
