Fellow gamedevs, we're doing something quite crazy with @ty.games.
I've mostly wrote in french about it so now is a good time to try to explain it in english too.
We're creating a fully cooperative publisher, owned by gamedevs, by people and by... its studios/game makers!

A week ago at Dragoncon I met Richard Garriott at a panel about his new Ultima game.
Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language.
I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people. Please pass this along.

fun demo, by the folks who made staredenn!
Have you played the new demo of Cosmo Cargo?
No? Well, here are a few solid arguments
- inspired by FTL
- modern & accessible autobattler
- more than 1h+ of content already
- support indie devs
but most importantly…
- there's a little weasel in the ship! 💖

Just played the new Demo, and I did play the old one - www.tiny-gaming.net/posts/demo-d... - Cosmo Cargo is a blast, it's a supreme mix of roguelike, autobattler and inventory management. Great vibes, great style, and it's not mindlessly easy either - you CAN lose, if you don't pay attention ;)
