I grew up among creators. I witnessed how essential IP law was to protecting investment needed for invention and innovation. The pace of AI cloning and lack of resources for indies make them vulnerable to the threats IP laws were created for. Innovators are being disincentivized.
In case anyone is interested in an update to the story about the CLONE of my game and what happened after.
I have made a video about that. You wanna help? Share, REPOST, tell your friends!

I inherited my love of filmmaking and storytelling from my dad who taught me how to film and edit in the pre-digital era. He had a stack of behind-the-scenes Starlog magazines that I read and reread. I can do that again now online for free.🎉

Thank you, veterans.
Before he created the world of G.I. JOE, Larry Hama served in VIETNAM.
But did you know some Joes were inspired by real soldiers—and Tunnel Rat was modeled after Hama himself?
This Veterans Day, discover the REAL American Hero behind G.I. JOE! 🫡

This looks like the desk I use now for game dev. I've got a stack of blank CDs, figures, a controller, games in box, and heaps of books tangentially related to making games. I had a similar flip phone until recently giving up mobile phones altogether.

I'm saddened to read of Neil's passing. I didn't know him personally, and I've never even played a SaGa game, but Neil always seemed so positive, and I really looked forward to his posts here. He seemed like such a nice guy.

Works for game dev, too. I actually have a quote by screenwriter Blake Snyder under my computer monitor reminding me to stay positive while I make my video game.
Advice for your screenwriting career, no matter what stage.
Your attitude matters. Both personally and professionally.
Fight off cynicism and bitterness and victimhood. Fight it off with everything you've got.
It helps you zero, and NO ONE wants to be around it.

I'm making a game without AI. Many gamers want my kind of intentionally crafted game, but wouldn't be able to find it beneath a mountain of AI games. Itch's "No AI" search function will help them find the games they want to play.
itch now lets you hide AI-made games in search results too
Tick "No AI" and you only see games where the dev has declared no generative AI was used. Also filter by AI graphics, audio, text or code
Should Steam add a filter like this next?

Did you know the theme for "What's Happening!!" was written by the great Henry Mancini?! Just found out today. This is like listening to my childhood. youtube.com/watch?v=kFmKmJFS…
