Viodow (Violet Shadow)

The associated sole proprietorship was registered under my name (Tim Lotterer) on November 1, 2024. Viodow itself is not yet an independent company.

GamesOfShadows (GoS)

What is GamesOfShadows? GamesOfShadows was the original name, but is now used for the small gaming community, including voice and game servers.

Games

Do you enjoy gaming on your smartphone? Maybe I’ll have something for you soon! I’m working on 2D mini-games and story-driven games designed to entertain you and transport you to new worlds. Like every good game, these take time. Stay updated and check back here now and then to see what’s in development.

Game and Voice Servers

Do you love exploring Minecraft with friends and building the world together? Or playing thrilling, lie-filled rounds of TTT in Garry’s Mod? Maybe you’re just looking for a space to talk with your friends or make new ones?

Our Discord and TeamSpeak servers offer temporary voice channels – perfect for private chats or planning your next gaming session.

Our game servers are also available, but there are a few things to consider. For example, some servers can be “rented” for private gaming sessions. This way, you and your friends can enjoy a few rounds of TTT without random strangers interrupting.

Status: No game servers available yet. Voice servers are online.

Music

Do you hear that? Don’t worry, it’s not my singing – that would just hurt your ears! Instead, I’ve hired talented artists to create music that captures stories and emotions. Unfortunately, the budget is limited, but with patience and support, more soundscapes will come. Follow our social media channels to stay updated on new tracks.

Miscellaneous

That’s not all, of course! Did you know that Viodow and GamesOfShadows have their own backstories? Someday, there might be something exciting to read – not novels, but small glimpses into these worlds.

And let’s not forget to celebrate: November 1st is our anniversary! So stop by here in November to take part in the yearly giveaway/sweepstake – make sure to mark your calendar.

Who knows what adventures the future holds… Stay curious!

The Topic of AI​

Am I real? Are my games and music real? In short: Yes! AI can be incredibly helpful, but it also comes with significant risks. It can threaten intellectual property, cost people their jobs, or even be used for illegal activities. Moreover, it might turn us into lazy, uncreative zombies. In essence, AI has both positive and negative aspects.

This text was written by me but was improved and corrected with the help of ChatGPT. While my grammar isn’t terrible, it’s far from perfect. My writing style can also be a bit dull and uninspired. ChatGPT helps me refine my work, but everything here was initially written by a real human. It was only edited and enhanced for clarity and engagement. Similarly, ChatGPT can assist with tasks like code problem analysis.

If anything is entirely AI-generated, I will explicitly mention it. For example, since my English pronunciation is “not the yellow of the egg,” English videos feature an AI-generated voice. However, I always note beforehand that it’s an AI voice.

For me, AI is merely a support tool, especially given my limited budget. If resources were sufficient, I would immediately hire real people for these tasks.

My opinion: AI can and should not replace humans, but only support them!
