Though I've worked on a few game-sort-of-things professionally (the original 2017 /r/place being the most well known), this is my first solo project. This started as a Ludum Dare game jam entry with a friend, and we got #1 in the Fun category, #1 in the Innovative category, and #6 Overall out of ~2000 entries.

Honestly, I was blown away (called my friend after we finished but before reviews came out and both agreed: we weren't sure if this was even fun), and this was the push I needed to go off on my own and make something bigger.

I've been working on it for about 10 months, but a significant amount of that time was spent in things that didn't feel very productive: trying to figure out marketing / PR, trying to pitch publishers, setting up a business, play testing, and trying to jump through app store hoops. I think a lot of that will be easier next time.


I’m really curious to learn more. Do you have a way I could contact you?


I like some of the outputs, but as far as I can tell you aren't exposing any way to actually use the model? And the last demos you posted are a year ago?


I'd take just having more control at a more granular level rather than having it try to generate a full song every time (e.g. generating just foley noises, or just a guitar melody, etc).


These are the thoughts of an utter sociopath. He's a skilled propagandist trying to dress up his racism and psychopathy and put it in a more presentable package.


By his own admission the value of Twitter has dropped 50%, and he has suggested bankruptcy is on the table. This will be a case study of bad management in textbooks for decades to come.


What features? Pay to be ranked higher in the cess pool along with the phrenologists?


Bold and italic text, NFT profile pictures, two-factor authentication, and you can upload videos that are an hour in length. The list goes on.


And then he calls the people who call him out on it pedophiles.


He called one specific british man living in a specific part of Thailand a paedophile


Are you saying it's ok to call someone you're arguing with on the internet a pedophile with no evidence, if it's just one British person living in Thailand? What point are you making?

Edit: Looking at your post history, do you own a lot of SpaceX and Tesla stock? You do a lot of name calling to defend Elon, so your opinion defending one of the world's richest guys doesn't seem altruistic.


Addressing your edit:

1. I have not called anyone names. That is also false.

2. All people deserve defending from untrue statements about them regardless of how wealthy they are, I'm not sure why anyone would think otherwise.


> And then he calls the people who call him out on it pedophiles.

> What point are you making?

That your statement was inaccurate.


It wasn't their statement, it was mine, and your response concedes that Musk did exactly that.

I just can't wrap my head around this. How can you both concede the behavior and be perfectly fine with and defend it?


[flagged]


Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for, we've warned you many times before, and if you keep doing it we're going to have to ban you.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.


Dan it’s not flamebait. The person tried to falsely paint a single example of behaviour as a common thing.

Unfortunately a lot of people seem to really hate Elon Musk, so “you’re right he only did this once but it was poor behaviour” turns into flagging anyone that points this out and then bringing up unrelated matters as an instance of whataboutism.

We’ve had three or four discussions over the last 16 years, one I’m fairly sure you’d now think you were in the wrong, so I’m not sure why you would say this is common.


Asking someone "Do you understand plurals?" is an insulting way of calling them dumb. Personal insults are certainly flamebait and definitely not allowed here.


OK fair enough. I did genuinely wonder how the parent did not understand that writing something happened multiple times when it happened once was untrue, but I should have used better language here.


Is that seriously your beef, that I said pedophiles instead of pedophile? You are completely avoiding the substance of the point.


Look at his post history and stop wasting your time.


You’re right. I need to do some serious soul searching to try to figure out why I am getting drawn into this head wall banging.


Yes. The fact you don’t think its a big deal to be caught saying something false says a lot.


I'm going to go out on a limb here with the way you've consistently dodged whether you think this is acceptable behavior and say that even if I brought up another example, Yoel Roth, you still would have a way of doing gymnastics around it.


I’ve stuck to the point about you lying rather than bothering with your multiple attempts to change the topic. Try again? Maybe it’ll work.


I have now directly addressed your defense that he has only done it once by bringing up another case.


No you haven't. You've added a story about a Twitter employee that committed harm being abused by people that aren't Elon Musk.


Not bot here. I don’t have enough digits to count the reasons I loathe him. I’ve yet to understand why the “media brainwashing” crowd never have a response to the very real argument that these types of people have made themselves so obnoxiously loud that you can’t help but see every one of the unfiltered thought they have — no third party media bias swaying the impression needed.


I guess I don't understand because I go weeks at a time without reading or hearing about something Elon said, and I don't loathe anyone.


I must be using a different site from you. Letting people pay to get boosted has turned the top of every thread into a hive of emoji-pasting, cruel, low-effort cretins.


Everyone's twitter feed is different. Mine doesn't have that.
