No genAI at Kaizen Game Works either, in Promise Mascot Agency or Paradise Killer.

All pure, human nonsense and love.

"The only issue I am facing as a professional art director in games is that I just want them to leave me and my art teams alone so we can make cool art. There is no problem to be solved here"

I think about this quote A LOT

sometimes i'm looking around the internet and something comes up which isn't from fallen london but which seems relevant

There is no AI in Earth Must Die.

FULL DISCLOSURE in desperation, in my darkest hour, I did use CoPilot to try and fix a bug, but the code it spewed out was such absolute dogshit I couldn't have implemented it if I wanted to.

to beat a dead and boring horse: Pantaloon won't sign/work with any studio using gen-AI - a philosophy reflected at a contractual level.

That said, all of the best and most interesting pitches we receive never go near it anyway. Go figure.

lol, lmao

no.

Hello, not only do we not use AI we would rather cut off our own arms than do so. Demonschool is 100% human made.

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.

We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.
Skill issue.

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.

We don't use generative AI at either Minor Key Games or Question. Partly on principle, and partly because we're really good at what we do.

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

Chinese astronauts become the first to grill wings in space, paving the way for future uncstronauts

this 0.2 second cheek skin bounce effect had a higher budget than most indie games

LinkedIn/privacy news you can use.

reading the shining for the first time:

part 2 - oh this hotel is fucked up.
part 3 - HOLY SHIT THIS IS FUCKED UP!

GIRL FRAME by anxiousmimicrpgs Lesbians in mechs, struggling against oppression and eldritch horrors

I'm into the idea of nihilist bodyhorror dog-coded lesbians piloting nightmare giant robots. I don't know how I'd approach a group about playing it - it's very much not *for* me - but I'm glad it exists anxiousmimicrpgs.itch.io/girl-frame

"Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness."

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

This is such a funny redux of the bad baby Jesuses in medieval art

Seconding that! I've gotten so much fun out of Scumhead's games (most of them free, like the Lycanthorn and Shrine series') that I feel morally obligated to grab this immediately.

Holy shit someone uploaded the entire stage play adaptation of the Yakuza videogame series with English subtitles and it’s glorious and 500x better than the Amazon show youtu.be/Z2Msr4si6dU?...

whole weekend at fetish festival and her most intense experience are potato dumplings.
