Sur fond noir traversé par des éclats rouges, en haut à gauche le logo STJV Shiro Games. Centré, les mots « GRÈVE ! À Shiro le 8 décembre » suivis d’une image de mégaphone Plus bas, centré en blanc sur fond rouge, « Pour soutenir l’équipe Wartales sous pression. Pour mettre fin à une crise réorchestrée tous les ans. Pour réclamer enfin la fameuse « flexibilité Shiro ». Comme toujours, Shiro prévoit des sorties pour Noël, et ces dates sont immuables. Résultat ? Wartales n’a eu que 2 mois et demi pour développer son dernier DLC ! » Plus bas, une image d’oiseau qui crie. En bas de l’image, en blanc sur fond rouge et noir, « Chaque année, on répète que ce rythme est intenable. Chaque année, on nous ignore. » Suivi, en blanc sur fond noir, de « IL EST TEMPS D’ARRÊTER ÇA ! »

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

A screenshot of the dominicarmato.com website, showing a black and white (and blue) image of Dominic's eyes, the title "Dominic Armato — Voice Actor," and an audio player labeled "Interactive Demo."

Big news (for me)! Signal boost appreciated!

TL;DR: I’ve posted a new interactive voiceover demo at dominicarmato.com, and I’m lookin’ for work.

For the long version, read on!… (1/7)

The *actual* old school revival we need in RPGs is that glorious post Vampire pre D20/Magic period when everyone was putting out stuff like In Nomine, Unknown Armies and Underground.

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨

You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment.

This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

even if you feel confident that the provider won't change the terms of their agreements unilaterally and without notice, any company can be acquired by another company at any time, and the new owner could have completely different commercial objectives and no incentive to support you or your game

gonna be annoying about this but this is exactly why every dependency is a liability. particularly if your game relies on some service you have to pay a regular subscription for, you're now completely reliant on nothing bad ever happening to that provider for the lifetime of your product

new video is out now! it's my birthday so you have to watch it and also agree with everything thanks

if the AI revolution is inevitable and imminent why are all these companies still losing so much money

"Using AI is no longer optional" — Did Microsoft just make Copilot mandatory for its staff as a critical performance metric? To drive broad internal adoption of Copilot, Microsoft is making the use of internal AI tools part of its key performance evaluations.

microsoft is, as we know, recklessly overinvested in this technology, but even after issuing company-wide threats to incentivise adoption they still need to juke the stats by talking about "teams"

the only evidence given here that sweeney is "probably right" is microsoft's claim that 91% of its engineering teams (not individual engineers) use github copilot, a stat substantially driven by the company declaring LLM use, in their words, "no longer optional"

now we're cookin

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

Pokemon trainer: Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!

the beloved Gatekeeper from FE3H: As for me, my job is to stand here at this glorious entrance and leisurely watch over the comings and goings of everyone. Make folks smile, you know? (i couldn't find a good example of Gatekeeper's best dialogue because it's all long convos but people love this guy)

it's just the merchant from RE4. no dialogue needed because we all know it by heart and we all love him

"i hate writing NPC dialogue i don't wanna do it i need bobot to do it for me buhhhhh" you are like a little baby

a bit, yeah

yeah but you have to change it over and over and over and over and over

YouTube video by People Make Games The Messages Rockstar Saw Before Firing 34 Union Members

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

you can assert that labour exploitation, wealth inequality, management hierarchy, state violence, ecological devastation and so on are a necessary part of "living in society", but if you believe that I don't see any value in your political project tbh. sorry if this offends

idk personally I think we should improve society somewhat

didn't they say in court that they couldn't do this for mysterious insurmountable technical reasons

the reason people still want to go indie and put themselves at tremendous risk is not wanting to put up with this kind of shit anymore. it's completely insane and completely humiliating how normal it is for companies like this to put people through all kinds of weird torture to prove their worth
