This is not a new stance for my company or my work, but I feel like I need to say it out loud now
I never have, and never will, use AI generated content in my work
Period
I recently got a negative review about Brewery Boss saying "... An idle game coded by an AI like thousands of others ..."
It's fine if you don't enjoy my game. It's far from perfect and not for everyone. I fully admit that.
But you don't get to claim I made it with AI, lol. I will clap back on that. Every. Single. Time.
Everything in my games is made by a human trying to improve their craft and art
While the game industry is going through a bit of chaos; I have decided to double down on myself.
I put together a 2 year plan to finish what I have been calling the "2.0 Update" for Brewery Boss. Development will now be full time on it. It will upgrade from the hyper casual idler that is now into more of a drafting, auto battler, rogue lite. And it will release to Steam as well as mobile. I will try to do better about posting updates and progress along the way.
Funding is coming from multiple different avenues; personal funds, borrowing, and a fall 2026 kick starter. But, for now, mostly borrowing against our home.
It's almost as scary as it is exciting.
I am very much treating this as my last foray into indie development. I have spent many years (decades?) chasing this dream. #NowOrNever
