@mikemccaffrey I've commented previously on #AI . I think it's a #Ponzi scheme that will only line the pockets of the #mercantile #capitalist #elites .
My response to anything remotely connected to #AI is (in broad #Glaswegian), 'get tae feck out of here'. It's crap science based on even worse motivation, yep that #mercantile #capitalist #hex. https://front-end.social/@a11ycollective/113475810788081403

AI is being touted as a great solution when it comes to accessibility. @[email protected] asks "Why?" https://html5accessibility.com/stuff/2024/10/10/ai-for-accessibility-conformance-testing-why/ #a11y #accessibility

Worked on #Mercantile for a couple hours last night. For a long time I was putting off making a proper queue system to manage the status of the expeditions, but it's finally underway #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine

Bodie California is located in the Eastern Sierras and is listed as the official ghost town of California. It is a State Historical Park, earning that designation in 1962 when the state took over.
At it's peak there were over 7K residents. After a couple of fires and a depleted gold supply the town shut down.

#Mercantile update: Refactored my inventory system. Boring but necessary
Iterating iterating iterating... Got things connected to the game data now too.
Got a basic layout created for my contractor details modal tonight. Lots of placeholder assets as you can see, shoutout to "wulax" on OpenGameArt.org for the placeholder character sprite.
I did this directly in Godot, but nothing really works yet, just lots and lots of UI controls :P
