RIP Tatsuya Nakadai!!!!!

After you watch his Kobayashi/Kurosawa work, I recommend THE WOLVES, a yakuza drama with Leone-esque ambition about Nakadai realizing the systems of honor he's devoted his life to are a sham, usurped by coldblooded 20th century capital. Some of his very best work.

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

man executives really hate how much time voice acting takes* huh

*time that can be reduced with proper planning/talent

An exterior shot of a house on a snowy city street. There is a large "For Sale" sign on the wall.

A dimly lit bedroom full of cardboard boxes marked with the word "bedroom."

A man sits at a desk in a large office with his back to the camera. Out the window is a snowy city skyline.

An old man sits on a couch in a living room with his head in his hands.

Some scenes from the prologue of my new adventure game. #ProjectLion

If you haven't seen Ran, The Human Condition trilogy, Harakiri, or any of the various movies he did with Kurosawa you owe it to yourself to do so. This man is a legend.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.

If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

did we all forget the saying???? what is going on???

Chiaroscuro Imago on Steam A short piece of horror fiction about honey and lies; entomology and etymology; murky secrets and stark realities. Find out what happened to the moths.

by the way our game is coming out on steam TOMORROW, act accordingly

I'd really recommend checking this game out if you're into narrative-driven adventure games, horror games or generally like to support small indie devs.

There's a 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 in my game where you have to search through a pile of trash bags, looking for a key item.

It is driven purely by RNG.

No. I won't be changing it.

Our feature artist/tutorial for today is this great set of thoughts on HAND SHAPES by the talented @littlez13! Great to see those LANDMARK SHAPES sketched on the hand - really useful reference! #illustration #DRAWING #anime #manga #art #comicart

Shutter Story - Examine A Family's Photo Album To Reveal The Paranormal, New Horror Game Demo by @frostwood.bsky.social

This is such a cool idea, I'm really excited for the full release!

Watch: youtu.be/JvN33wp8GBo
Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3798860/...

Shutter Story invites you to spot spectral anomalies in a deceptively domestic home, and you can play its demo right now. buff.ly/UQRIRzR

I figure oversharing on cool visuals from my game is really only a problem if said game ever finally releases.
Sort of a "win-win" there then.

(and there's still a bunch of stuff I'm going to keep under wraps permanently)

Okay, okay our animator gets a raise!
(btw is a totally real buff ability of the enemy)

Caput Mortum on Steam Travel back to 16th-century France and delve into the mysterious depths of a seemingly abandoned alchemist's tower. Do you dare brave the horrors that beckon you below... deeper still?

Caput Mortum is a movie-length horror adventure with a very cool gimmick - you move with the left stick and control your right hand with the other. Attacking, interacting or doing most esoteric stuff requires some very unusual inputs, which just adds to that sense of helplessness and alienation.

Almost none of these updates would exist if it weren't for our reviews lol

Someone at work today literally said we can't ignore ai tech and that all employers say they are using it and that we need to be able to have that skillset.

How does this line up? I feel insane. It's bad at and for everything. How is it so "crucial"?

I have always pointed game artists to watch making of’s for films, these people are solving the same issues your solving just a different medium. They are willing to talk about the motivations behind the art and design choices with costumes and sets and you can learn so much and it’s effected my art

I think you just answered your own question.

Sam Altman has a $200 million US military contract, you think he’ll be *allowed* to fail?

not to be a horrible doomer but people acting like an IP lawsuit will be the thing that takes down gen AI seems like. naive at best. if they pay the money they will make more money or they will be given YOUR money as a bailout

the collapse is coming. the infinite tech money loop might be ending soon

A dark, low-lit computer control room with a grid-tiled floor, typical of a sci-fi bunker or lab. A wall of monitors and brightly colored control panels glows on the back wall, contrasting with the overall green and dark tone of the room.

A gruesome scene in a video game office reception area. The sign overhead reads "HEADLEY & CRABB SOLICITORS." Blood splatters the walls and carpet, and two deceased, mutilated figures lie on the floor in front of a green rug and benches.

A well-lit virtual art gallery in a game, featuring wood floors and paintings. A doorway on the left leads to a dark, modern room where a golden Lambda logo artefact sits on a red pedestal, surrounded by laser tripwires.

A minimalist, modern, wood-floored interior featuring bamboo plants and abstract art hanging on the walls. Through a glass window on the left, two dead Headcrab enemies are visible, with the text "DOMESTICATED HEADCRABS" visible on the concrete below the window.

I can't quite believe that TWHL Tower 2 will have been out for FIVE YEARS next week! From the humble beginnings of the first TWHL Tower, the submissions for this sequel were just ridiculously well made.

Now is a fine time to check it out... or revisit it?

shit nowadays I just play retros and indies, don't have the patcience for triple A anymore

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.

It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.

it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

The line "..concerning people believe the company.." because it is GTA, people will continue to believe it. If proven to be lies, they will move to saying "BuT uNiOnS bAd AcTuAlLy" and then just "I don't care R* could kill my family, I will still get GTA"
