An anonymous Japanese game studio is making applicants draw in front of them during interviews to prove they don't use generative AI 🎮

“Only human creators can produce compelling characters and graphics from scratch”

I get f-droid might be time consuming. Can an apk be provided on Github 😅 ? (If you have time ofc) I've been looking for a material 3 bluesky client for a long time, but didn't find any. This looks interesting :)

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

Also, here's a glimpse at my rotoscoping process... #LUNARK #pixelart

They’re describing it as a “shock and awe” campaign, which is why it’s essential to show them there’s huge opposition NOW. Call / email your reps to let them know you oppose censorship bills like KOSA and the SCREEN.

Love how the search AI will spoil everything you look up.

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard

But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all

(game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw)

This follows prior layoffs back March when 75 devs were let go. Embracer previously canceled a new Deus Ex game early last year

Support the development of Godot! Donate Now

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.

If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

PlayStation released an advent calendar where you can earn tickets via daily quests like watching an AD, you can use the tickets to enter a lottery to win games, controllers, etc. They also have free stuff like avatars which seem to be Ai generated.

Rockstar Games Co-Founder Dan Houser Says Generative AI Will "Eat Itself" Houser that "Some of these people trying to define the future of humanity… are not the most humane or creative people" in an interview.

Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser is continuing to share his thoughts on genAI during a press tour for his new book.

He called those defining use cases for AI "not the most humane or creative people," and compared its self-referential behaviour to "when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease."

Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser compares AI to 'mad cow disease' and says execs pushing it aren't very creative people

Cover of Strangened Narratives course. A hand with Strangened Narratives written over it with multiple eyes flying around it.

Cover of Narrative Crash Course. Title in the middle and a bunch of simple birds surrounding it.

Cover of Dialogue Design course. A woman is yelling with words coming out.

A bit late into Black Friday but hey I got three courses worth of Narrative Design lessons up on sale for half price.

That's right I've published lessons from Narrative Crash Course and Strangened Narratives course online. Plus Dialogue Design!

Some more cheeky #GodotEngine 'watch-dev'.

On the one hand, was an interesting challenge thinking of a game that made sense on the form factor. Only radial game I could think of was old school Tempest.

On the other, these devices clearly aren't made for it. I rinsed the battery in no time!

I saw that after replying 😅, apologies for the ping. Krita it is for now.

'Slop Evader' Lets You Surf the Web Like It’s 2022 Artist Tega Brain is fighting the internet’s enshittification by turning back the clock to before ChatGPT existed.

Slop Evader is a tool from artist and researcher Tega Brain that lets you search the web for results exclusively before November 30, 2022—the day that ChatGPT was released to the public.

It's not made by the Bolt developer, but by the community addons dev. Just wanted to clarify that and point out my mistake 😅

Yeah, the reason I and many others got into UE is Blueprints. Sadly there aren't many options, I've only found 2-3 foss game engines with VS. I'm eagerly waiting for Hengo and this new project although not node based looks really interesting.

Ah my bad, I got things mixed up. I didn't know the community version was separate from Bolt. I'm not that tapped into Unity stuff, I only came to know about Bolt after joining Hengo's discord 😅.

*The help was more like giving advice and tips

I haven't used Unity much (didn't even know Unity had VS), but there were discussions to add macros and similar features. Idk if that person created Bolt or just worked/helped out, it's been some time since I saw the discussions.

It's been some time, but it was in Hengo's discord server. I didn't say the help was code contribution. The discord name was not Lazlo, more like giving advice and tips to steer Hengo in a direction similar to Bolt I guess

FlowKit - Visual Programming Language for Godot – GameFromScratch.com FlowKit is a brand-new open source Visual Programming Language for the Godot game engine inspired by Construct 3, GDevelop & ClickTeam Fusion

There is an awesome new Visual Programming language project for the #GodotEngine. It's called FlowKit and it brings a GDevelop/Construct3/ClickTeam Fusion type programming option to Godot.

Slightly related, but have you tried Hengo ? It's also made in GDScript but is node based like Blueprints. IIRC Unity bolt's developer was helping out with Hengo

Is the repo private or taken down ? Shows 404
