All these text to video AI samples floating around remind me of people who don’t realise motion smoothing is on on their TVs.

I’ve been playing a few hours of Tunic. I kinda bounced off of it at the start, but I’ve found a groove with it now and am loving it.

I really like how exploration is often rewarded.

Hey folks, could you help me again with some market research.

What are some games that have music as a big part of them, (their world or the story or via mechanics or mini games), that are not beat based games at their core like Crypt of the Necrodancer or Audio surf?

Cheers!

@fell It does in many ways but not exactly. It's already on my list of research anyway. Cheers.

Hey folks, help me with some market research.

What are some games that are wholesome / kid friendly, that have xploration and narrative elements but are not farm sims or creature collectors like Stardew Valley or Ooblets?

Cheers!

I haven’t been playing an indie games for a while. I’m in the humour of playing something new.

Any suggestions, folks?

@djlink @grumpygamer This is such a handy feature. Its been in Photoshop and Unity for a while now. It saves a lot of fiddling around in them.

@gamesbymanuel thanks Manuel!

I mocked up a scene from John Carpenter's The Thing as some comic art practice.

I have an (unrelated) original idea I want to work on in my spare time, but mocking this up helped me figure out some of the process in Photoshop.
