“when it comes to art, I do believe we’re gonna see an increase in demand for original, authentic human experiences. That’s my thesis. AI looks backwards. It doesn’t look forward.” Chris Dring @thegamebusiness.com - story here gamerepublic.net/featured-eve... #gamedev

A practical guide to indie comms: How studios can build visibility without burning out Communications expert Rebecca Attard‑Phillips provides a sanity-saving checklist of exactly what indies need to do when it comes to promoting their game

“there's a new wave of studios [..]they’re ripping up past processes [..] but still delivering games developed with incredible attention to detail.” Top 8 trends in the games industry by Chris Dring @thegamebusiness.com from #GRTrends in January gamerepublic.net/featured-eve... #gamedev

The mid-2000s led to a huge rise in things like Flash games, YouTubers, and anime, where you're fed smaller amounts of content on the regular.

Millennials and older generations arguably have a different attitude towards media given the rate it was created and released was very different.
