Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

seeing pushback against procedural generation as a result of alleged "AI" and that's really fucking sad

good procedural generation is hard. good procedural generation is bespoke and intentional. good procedural generation is artistic and creative. please don't lump it in with the slop generated through machine learning ๐Ÿ˜ž

EDIT: procgen is not AI, it's a 40+ year old game design technique, see: peoplemaking.games/@eniko/1131

Not just gaming, I think it's emergent behaviour of computing generally. We were doing it 40 years ago to generate bulk test data for systems because using production data was out of the question, that security/privacy thing.

As an Apple user, technology enthusiast and quasi-fanโ€ฆ it is incredibly disheartening to witness the number of rakes that Apple leadership has stepped on over the last 5 years.

@eniko i hope they get bonked to hell by the EU for adding all those arbitrary requirements and limitations

Kitsune Tails is OUT NOW!! Run, jump, and dash across a land inspired by Japanese mythology and untangle the love triangle between three young women on a journey of self discovery. Explore the complicated relationships between kitsune and humans through classic platforming action.

get it now on steam store.steampowered.com/app/132 or itch eniko.itch.io/kitsunetails

we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)

i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? ๐Ÿ™

Question from curiosity, what game engine or technology was used to make the game?

@eniko Immediately buying this, it looks so fun ๐Ÿ˜€

@eniko I watched Liv play this yesterday and it looks fantastic! Can't wait to try it out later!!

been worried about finding linux users to make sure kitsune tails' linux build on steam actually works then realized i have 9000 followers on fedi

i think i'll be able to find some volunteers ๐Ÿค”

EDIT: note that this was mostly a joke about the proportion of linux users on fedi >_>

@eniko the Linux users on fedi are also all very literally minded

For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well

found a website where you can get free and personalized legal advice about your rights as an EU citizen called Your Europe Advice europa.eu/youreurope/advice/in

it's an NGO with over 60 lawyers contracted by the EU commission. they also work with SOLVIT which will actually mediate in disputes between EU nationals and countries that aren't their home country regarding the violation of EU rights ec.europa.eu/solvit/index_en.h and gently remind govt institutions of your rights as an EU citizen

i'm just leaving these here in case anyone ever needs these like i do right now

@eniko Really good to know, thanks for sharing :D

Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now!

im honestly baffled this is not more well advertised. especially for people in conflict with an EU govt about their rights as an EU citizen, SOLVIT seems to make the problems just evaporate once they get into it

"elon destroyed twitter", come to fedi

"reddit CEO sold out reddit communities", come to fedi

"tumblr CEO is heading transphobic harassment campaign", come to fedi

idk man i just feel like shit like this is gonna keep happening. and shit will go down on fedi too. difference is on fedi you can move when some little tyrant gets their head too far stuck up their own ass

@eniko better yet, you can set up your own tiny instance for you and people you care about. No geekery required thanks to folks like masto.host

Itโ€™s lovely to be able to defederate from and source of vileness without having to ask an admin and hope they agree.

@eniko@peoplemaking.games I ended up going more than a bit back to Tumblr because if folks fleeing Twitter to go there, but I had already been trying to spend more time here even then. It's gonna hurt to lose my contacts again as they pick Cohost or Bluesky and I just give up on following them there.

@eniko regarding the "shit will go down on fedi", I really wish people would fully understand that the fediverse is not a monolithic social network like the other mainstream ones

Haven't watched hbomberguys video all the way through yet but it's uncanny how much my experience with plagiarism is similar to his. I made a viral tweet about proper isometric block height about 10 years ago and some dude writing books in the gamedev sphere named TrueValhalla just reposted my tweet, with image, verbatim

When I called him out on it he just brushed it off and said "this isn't Wikipedia" so he didn't need to credit me. Then not long after he got in trouble for pilfering other people's artwork (without licensing or credit) to promote his new book, because the artist had a way bigger audience than i did back then. A bunch of other smaller stuff I can't remember also came to light

Guy was a serial plagiarist and supposedly a fucking author? Ridiculous. Last I checked he's still active and probably still stealing other people's work to promote himself

*googles* oh it looks like the latest news is he's moved on to scamming people in the web3 crypto games space

@eniko@peoplemaking.games Not even sure if I see what on earth Wikipedia has got to do with this ๐Ÿ˜… I'm pretty sure stealing is considered an issue outside of Wikipedia as well ๐Ÿค”
I wonder if he'd use the same argument if he got caught shoplifting haha

> *googles* oh it looks like the latest news is he's moved on to scamming people in the web3 crypto games space

I'm not at all surprised that that kind if guy got into web3, but didn't he get the memo? NFTs are dead AI is the new hotness. I am actually surprised that he's not using MidJourney and calling himself an artist though. Same type of person: lazy, entitled, and utterly narcissistic.

@eniko question that you may or may not want to answer: if I buy on Itch, does it cost you money if/when I redeem on Steam?

@eniko but orthogonality implies being completely different than the other axes. ๐Ÿ‘€

@eniko But if your unit of length is the 'Eniko', then you'll be fine.
