South of the March page on Steam. It shows one of the early screenshots (a bridge crossing a river), short description of the game with title art, and Small Gray Games as Developer and Publisher.
Not live yet, but it's coming.
This looks so sick.
And now thanks to multiple participants a pretty much fully featured SDL3 port to DOS!

Barret "These Data Centers are outta control, Cloud! You can't even hear the damn birds anymore! Everyone's power bills are through the roof!"
I guess it's time to bring out this absolute classic once again
8th game of 2026 beat.
The Amateur Deity Society.
Had the opportunity to have the creator @robertcarlson.bsky.social watch me play through it. It's a fun text based adventure, with an interesting premise, stellar writing, chuckle worthy humor, and satisfying puzzles. Definitely grab it if you can.
Dam him up!
Movements to shut down or ban data centers are amassing power and notching victories. Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content in articles. Publishers and entertainment studios are being pushed to reject AI-produced content outright.
In other words: It's open season for refusing AI.
THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!
Josh, infront of an open Tomb: “Drake… where’s the body of Christ?”
Panel from the comic Watchmen of Dr. Manhattan sitting on the surface of Mars with added narration boxes reading, "It is 2035. I am on Mars," and "I have two versions of MS Outlook and neither of them is working."
Really excited about Artemis II, but even more excited about the future.

You don't think he looks like the guy on the right? ;D cdn.mobygames.com/screenshots/...
Great picture, but who's that pale-looking guy in the hat looking over your shoulder?
Happy birthday!
As a researcher the value in watching all of a UX Test, not just highlights, is that it gives you context. You see what comes before and after issues. You see the systemic influences on behaviour.
Watching someone play is not busy work, it is the work.

To my bafflement, yet another person has actually earned my game's joke achievement, "It Was the Worst of Times". Y'all don't need to keep doing this! I again apologize for including it.
Anyway, The Amateur Deity Society is still on sale for $3 for a few days. youtu.be/tKbMscvgAxo

Guess the title? In THIS economy?

The sparse "looks nice to me" comments about DLSS 5 get at what's fundamentally insidious about AI-generated art. It's gotten good at passing at a glance to untrained eyes, while still falling apart upon closer inspection. Good art is the opposite: it rewards attention and consideration.

Hearty thanks to the very cool and intelligent player who left a review for The Amateur Deity Society today! Each review is really a big help for small game devs.
100%, and it applies to everything in a game. If you need generative AI to make include something, just go without. VO, music, background art, character art, character models, prose, dialogue, ANYTHING. "Nothing" is in fact often better than "something," esp. when you phone it in on "something."
On the day Trump finally dies, when we're all celebrating, the poor widdle snowflakes will be furiously policing such behaviour as an intolerable outrage. So just bookmark a version of this story to reply with to every one of them.

Like, if your favorite game is Final Fantasy IV, I don't think that makes you any more likely to enjoy FFXVI than a complete newcomer to the series. How much you like action games, GoT, or kaiju movies are all better predictors
When a series changes as much as Final Fantasy has, I think it's only to be expected. It only gets weird when fans of the early series rant and rave about each new entry in what might as well be a different series, instead of moving on to another series that IS still like the old stuff.
It's in the news again, so some advice for developers: If you don't want to have to convince players you accidentally left AI-generated art in your game, DON'T USE AI-generated placeholder art. Placeholders should be glaringly obvious, not things you can miss while glancing over a scene.
