À mes camarades français, un ami est actuellement en situation de précarité étudiante (avec notamment des galères logement, service social de la fac...), et a besoin d'aide pour subvenir à ses besoins.
Un ou deux euros sont déjà suffisants pour lui payer un repas Crous.
Je vous remercie d'avance !

My point is, it’s a strength to have heaps of hobbies when you’re creating. It’s a strength, as a dev, to give new things a go (especially if they don’t appear relevant to gamedev) — don’t discount how they might influence your work.

Games are better when they’re inspired by more than other games!

Take care of those around you.

Spread love and empathy.

Support your friends.

Keep each other going.

The world is brutal, but you don't have to be.

I think one underdiscussed reason that people are gravitating towards these games is because they ask so little of your life *going forward*, too.

Most of them don’t have XP, or battle passes.

For almost any larger multiplayer effort that’s coming out these days, who could claim the same?

Remember, anything can feel like a soulless obligation - even things you love - if you don't take breaks, refuel your creativity or do other things. You can't strong-arm creativity or hit your head against a wall hoping inspiration will happen. Stop. Reset. Love yourself. Repeat.

I took a deep breath. It's really hard to create when the world is literally burning. But, as with poetry, you just have to breathe and do something. And as always, it soothes me and makes me feel good.

Companies have decided that using the indie label is fine regardless of budget.

From that position, when using this invented 'indie' label, they are using said status to justify needing AI to see their vision completed.

Please, just stop.

"GOOD GOD!" 🤓👀

When creators experience difficult times, they let it out by sharing it to the world through their creation.

I dedicate my game to people that are a only data on a spreadsheet, that are "difficult decisions to remain competitive"

I dedicate my game to the victims of capitalists

The DECIMA engine offers great possibilities, but it's just a tool. If it was made public, we'll also end up with badly optimized and buggy games.

The real star for Death Stranding 2's visuals, presentation and performances is Kojima Productions. They've always been art, tech & production wizards.

tired of design-by-committee nonsense. we need more games made by and based off unhinged weirdo's imaginations

Part of my joy of discovering who Yoko Taro is half a year ago could very well be summed up as "Oh thank fuck, he's a complete freak (positive)"

We desperately need more weirdos in the space.

Hey folks, I'm looking for a job!

I’ve spent the last 5 years working in game development, and around 15 years before that in design. If you're a small team looking for someone with a wide range of skills and a strong creative vision — I might be the right fit.

Hey, indie devs and animators! Someone hire me. I'm a VA open to work, and would actually love to do just that 🥴 My vocal range is pretty wide, and I'd love to lend it to whoever you may have in mind in whatever projects you're working on.

I guess that's a good way to look at it!

*where

I think I've now entered a period of my life when I don't believe in anything anymore, and I'm creepily neutral about it. Kinda like a feeling of disconnection with the world.

How do you create in such conditions?

i know "support indie art" feels like saying "eat your vegetables"at this point but as ai begins to seep into every mainstream property you can imagine, do not feel disheartened. there is a world of artists making art that doesn't depend on destroying the environment and making money to live.

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.

I feel like there generally shouldn't be reporting on 'successful indies' that doesn't also mention the massive swaths of indies who can't run 'successful' studios because no one will give you money if you're not already successful

Games like Veilguard do not "fail" because of the devs working on them. They fail because corporate interference forces studios to chase trends so that CEOs like EA's Andrew Wilson can net $25M a year.

Don't let the grifters convince you of anything else. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
