Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.
The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.
a lot of people are rightly pointing out that the game isn’t live service (because it isn’t)
but no one is talking about the macro ramifications of a games industry ecology where earned media (press & influencers pointing out potential failures performs better than finding new possible successes
bangs are growing really long i'm starting to feel like an old english sheep dog
Thank you and everyone! This is surely a surreal experience. We created Hoi and the Amiga version of Moon Child in the pre-WWW era. Things were distributed on diskettes, and later CD-ROMs. Never could we have guessed that more than 30 years later it would be (re)discovered worldwide via internet. 😃😃

Made some #MoonChild emotes you can use on Twitch. They're uploaded by an online friend, hence the PonPonPox username.

I love when you can tell a level designer was at the end of their rope at one point
A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!
I decided to re-register an account to enjoy the memes of our 1990s #MoonChild game. 😁👍
I designed Hoi and Moon Child. Reinier van Vliet coded it, and Ramon Braumuller made the soundtrack.

For my game's terrain, I've long mulled over how to combine the epicness of grand mountains with the "what's around the corner?" intrigue of smaller cliffs and hills.
After a lot of fiddling over the past two days, I think I may be onto something.

EVERY artist absolutely ADORES art made people who are not trained. We all look at it with absolute joy because it feels like the purest art that's possible.
We have all this training, but with it comes a lack of purity, and we spend our entire lives in futility trying to achieve that purity again.
i feel like a lesson from the economy these days is that you can just say things and then you will make money
A hot day
"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."
So here's a prototype I've been working on for a couple months.
You can just play it in on my Itch page
Using a Unity Beat Em Up template, I tried adding some RPG elements into it.
It's not very good but I hope the vibes and ideas are ok enough :)
