In honour of @indiecade.bsky.social, my game is currently on sale for a mere 65% of it's True Price! Buying it now will therefore give you a better than 50/50 chance of being spared during the Undead Uprising.πŸ–€

I thought this too. We did a similar thing as kids, usually with a bunch of insults to tease each other. You'd flip the book and say "I am..."

Publisher: Can you show a lush, tropical world inhabited by mysterious lost tribes and dramatic, towering dinosaurs?

Artist: Yeah, sure, or at the very least I'll show someone pointing to where it is.

I truly think the first-person thing is a problem. It's very easy to prompt chatbots never to talk in the first person or pretend to have thoughts, feelings or opinions - the only reason they allow it as the default mode is to drive engagement at the cost of users' mental health.

I have again been asked if AI was used to make my game.

For transparency, my minions used generative AI to make all the parts of the game that didn't benefit from a human touch, were too boring to make or not important enough to craft by hand. In other words, we didn't use any generative AI.

My game is once again on sale. All proceeds go directly to my coffers and will be used to fund an undead uprising that may have catastrophic consequences but is probably still better than the plans of other, less scrupulous overlords.

Oh God, don't go through that one, it really is just leaping dogs. It's a novelty until about the 10th time you get knocked over and licked.

I feel your pain. My reverse Big screenplay in which Tom Hanks magically turns into a child is solid gold but apparently the romantic subplot is "problematic"...
