A reminder that if you're a #noAI kind of person, you may want to avoid taking part in the $110 Adventure Game Challenge.
If you still feel like joining ("it's fine, *I* won't use AI"): have you looked at the kind of games the organizer makes, and how they use genAI? ...you might want to do that.
If you still feel like joining ("it's fine, *I* won't use AI"): have you looked at the kind of games the organizer makes, and how they use genAI? ...you might want to do that.
Our team will be boycotting the upcoming $110 Adventure Game Challenge. We refuse to be part of a jam that openly allows genAI use (with a frankly ridiculous justification).
We encourage our fellow indie developers to join our boycott. Let's leave them with nothing but slop submissions.

Quick update on the status of #ProjectKALE: just had a team meeting and almost figured out the whole story of the game. Most of the many characters have names, backstory, and personality. Everything still subject to change. Still no actual kale involved.

A note on the GOG version: the game WILL have the German translation if you buy it there, even if the store page currently doesn't list it as a supported language. We're just waiting for the store page to be updated, but the latest build is already available.

Fourth announcement: we're starting to plan our next game! Codename: #ProjectKALE 👀🥬
Details are secret. What we can tell you is that it will be another #pointAndClick adventure, and that it will NOT be episodic. Also it has nothing to do with kale or any other leafy green.

Third announcement: we're also making a #NintendoSwitch port of Uncle Lee's Cookbook!
The engine is already ported and we already had full controller support, so we just need to do some testing and go through certification.
No pictures this time, because of those pesky NDAs.
