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.

Glad to know it’s not just my razor that needs that 😅

Yes, that’s the one. Thank you :)

Does anyone remember who posted that video a while back with the capsules doing a hit animation to demonstrate game polish?

A quick gamedev history story.

When I started my career, there were so few 3d artist the company I was hired by had to start a training school to make enough to actually make a big game.

At first we didn't know anything. Real time 3D was new and primitive, and nobody really had mastered it.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

So different to the movie for sure. Some parts of the movie suddenly make more sense (the owl for example) but also feel more random in a way. 😅

Could be a small model used as a representation for mini map or map perhaps?

When you're a "high performing" person it easy to acknowledge in the abstract that burnout is something that happens to people but then it's shocking when all of a sudden it happens to you, and even more shocking when clawing back up to a normal level of functioning takes so god damn long.

wish they were co-op like divinity 2 or baldur's gate. Only thing holding me back from playing them as I enjoy that style of game more with my friend.

Cop the official Max Payne Low Resolution shirt! If you are so sartorially inclined.

Made from the original game models from Max Payne 1. In the lowest resolution possible. #RMD30

Gonna start referring to productivity software like people talk about video games.

"Oh yeah Google Docs is a Cloud-bases Word-like."

"Trello is a Lanestyle Jiracore Tasklike"

"Only weaklings need to use a Pomodoro to get through Sheetstyle work."

Haha, yeah it was odd. My work wasn’t at the level needed to secure a job at that time but wasn’t a great response.
His face was still plastered all over their website even a few years ago, and he continued to represent them at careers panels, so they were clearly fine with it. 😅

When I was a student I showed my portfolio to one of these guys at a convention. He was there representing his studio on careers panel. I printed out on paper incase phone signal was bad etc.
He pulled the papers out of the binder and dropped them on the floor whilst loudly announcing my work trash.

yeah same, I've not read many comics since I was young but really like his style. Deceptively simple but actually quite complex. He has a great understanding of shape and composition.
I also recommend the documentary "drawing monsters" which is about his work if you're interested 🙂

Exciting to come home to my new books after a long commute 😊

you know, now that you've said it, it makes perfect sense but I wouldn't have thought of it. Super cool idea. :)

Defenders of the deep, with their patented adaptive water camouflage.

Known by their enemies as ‘Frog men’.

[sound borrowed from Mr. Scruff]

The watery camouflage is really cool 👌

Just make it exist first.

You can add the sentient mushrooms later.

this bit from a dev retrospective for Anthem is just ahhhh

"Even though that 'six' was based on nothing, was based on a number we said because it kind of seemed pretty logical at the time, but there's nothing behind that, it became a source of immense pressure and anxiety from the executives."

battlefield 6 map editor is... *checks notes*... godot

*proceeds to spend 100 million on it*

So the new packs are out: ended up with a bit of a crazy pull 😮

Sounds great

I have one I could trade you if you want

Finally finished a personal project in what feels like aaaaages! Based on an incredible Swordtember concept by Guillaume T. Delbarre 🔥

What about the other 874? 😅 joking ofc.

You could take yours and put them together to make a poster of the original 151 like we had as kids. 😊

Do I know anyone on here who's interested in taking part in a game jam/is doing so?
