FFenril / Hugo 🎮 GAME (not) OVER is OUT on Steam! 🕹️

🤔

I'll just leave these here

I had to

Wednesdays is ✨ free ✨ for World Children's Day in order to raise awareness about child sexual abuse.

Grab it on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2747770/...

This is bullshit.

"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.

"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

Last stand at Ganhilda's Keep

your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

maybe we could use another splash screen.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Arc Raiders key art shwoing three characters in a collage, the back two in retro hues of orange and blue. Eurogamer 2/5

Rich PvE combat and an unusually friendly community make Arc Raiders a more approachable extraction shooter than most, but Embark Studios' continued use of AI voice generation is a black mark against its reputation.

Our review:

La hausse continue depuis Macron du nombre de privés de logement et des morts sous les coups de la police devrait nous préoccuper bien plus que le vol des bijoux de la couronne.
C'est là dessus qu'on devrait interpeller chaque macroniste dans les matinales.

The Outer Worlds 2’s satire has a Microsoft-shaped problem The team at Obsidian talks about returning to the RPG series after becoming part of a giant corporation.

Incredibly exchange where Leonard Boyarsky says Microsoft has never told Obsidian what to do right before a Microsoft rep tells him not to talk about Israeli apartheid

Picture of a boxed version of the game The Wreck, for PS5.

On November the 13th, if you're lucky enough to have a PS5 or a Nintendo Switch, you might get even luckier and treat yourself with a PHYSICAL VERSION OF THE WRECK!!! This amazingly cool piece of news would have never happened without @redartgames.bsky.social and @raccoonbiz.bsky.social, so: 💖💖💖

absolute workhorse of a reaction image from over 100 years ago

Government style ad in watercolour. Image of a burglar stealing a painting from the wall of a home. Tagline: "It's not theft... if you say you're using it to train your AI algorithm". Body text: "Theft is now legal, so we can boost the economy by eliminating jobs. If that doesn't make any sense, ask a chatbot to explain it to you." HM government logo in the corner.

Did a new one

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

TWENTY-FOUR SEVEN by stormnebulae You are a detective tasked with catching a mysterious killer known as the Ghost.

Hey Bluesky! I’m back!

I need a favor! This is the last week you can play TWENTY-FOUR SEVEN! It’ll take you 2 hours! It’s great! It has a questionnaire you’ll want to answer at the end for it to matter! It helps research! Did I mention it’s great?

Do it today? Pretty please? 🥺😘
#indiegame #indedev

(OK I’m kind of lying, you’ll be able to play it after this week *but* you won’t be able to answer the questionnaire and I need you to! Also let’s not lie to each other, you’ll forget about it if you don’t play it today. This is called a "call to action" for a reason, ok? I’m calling you to action!)
