This semester, I've had 3 different programming heavy classes across 3 different programming languages. Due to that I haven't had much time/energy for game dev. However, I've been slowly making a little bit of progress on an Action RPG, and I hope to have something to show off by August.
So even if AI didn't have all of the ethical problems surrounding it, it's still TERRIBLE for placeholders. Please, game developers, do not use AI placeholders.
Wanted to make a statement since THIS KEEPS HAPPENING.
Placeholder visuals should be designed to stand out as much as possible. Yes, you should try to match some of the materials and colors, but if an asset isn't clearly a placeholder, then stuff likely will be left in.
Apologies if you struggle to get it running on your computer. this game is mostly just a prototype so not everything is super polished or customizable.
Stone, Water, Cloud
Prototype out now

I will most likely post a sort of prototype this weekend.
So far I've gotten a cube moving the way I want it to. I need to put together some levels before Friday and try to get at least some basic character models in, but it's looking like I'll have something to show.
Game Jam season again! I have no idea if I'll put something out but I'm trying to get something going. And hopefully I can do better than a Snake clone I made during an exam week in about 3 hours.
We're happy to announce that our demo will be in the #steamnextfest June 9-16, available early on May 31st! We've been hard at work since our 2021 @gamemakerstoolkit.com game jam debut, and we're excited to show you what we've been working on!

Experimenting
Didn't get it to a presentable state by the deadline and school has made more dev pretty difficult. Not sure when I'll put something out. May also continue work on this game but not sure.
Some updates: So uh... My prototype was not scalable like at all, so I just have a 3D model and a broken block of code.
Hopefully I'll have something done by Friday (deadline) to show everyone, but I will say this project has improved my Blender skills exponentially.
I'm feeling really good about this one because my initial prototype for the main gameplay is nearly complete and I should be able to get to adding more features and hopefully some fun visuals before long, and I still have 2 weeks to make it.
Been working on something for a couple days now for another private Game Jam. Can't share much yet but I will say that this game will be 3D and will be very physics based, and is made in Godot. Also the theme for the jam is "break".
Followed this list, and I'm seeing some are following back. Don't have any needs for voice acting right at this moment but I'm glad there are so many voice actors willing to help out with indie games. Definitely will reach out if/when I need your services...

Hey folks! I'm starting to think about my next indie game & thought this starter pack would be handy...
VOICE ACTORS FOR INDIE DEVS
If you're a voice actor with a professional home recording set-up & want to be included then drop your name in the replies.

Very happy to see a joyful platformer win in the Game Awards. All of the other nominees also deserved it of course, but Astro Bot is not the kind of game that typically wins these things.
Yeah, gave up dreams of making games at a company a long time ago... There seem to be some good options especially outside of the US, but most major AAAs seem to be in really rough shape right now. So I've sort of in my mind separated game dev as a hobby and a different job as my income.
I'm also thinking about participating in a private game jam that goes for about a month starting on the 12th. Won't be able to work at all on it until after Christmas but I think it could be fun.

I should once again reiterate this game does not represent my full potential and was just a little side project I threw together in the span of a few hours. I have multiple concepts I'm toying with right now.

Not sure if I'd be the greatest person in the world for this since I'm still in school (2-ish more years on a Bachelor of Computer Science in Colorado) and have no industry experience, but I'd love to see a new Pro Skater-esque game and may be interested in helping where I can.
I think what disappoints me most about Elon's upcoming game studio is that he has stupid money that he can use to make a bunch of really cool indie-styled games with ridiculously high budgets, but instead he wants to make AI slop for some reason.
