Posted this same thing on Twitter and got a wild amount of illiterate preteens screeching “don’t make this about your shitty game”. The children are so joyless these days.

continued learning on vfx for game usage #gamedev #unityengine some of the meshes used in the spawning effects were made in blender, too, which i briefly touched on a few years ago so it wasn't ENTIRELY alien to me, but my friend mars also helped show me quicker ways to do stuff

i grew up going to christian summer camps in central texas. so many of my leftist friends across the state came from republican families. you can't judge children for the political choices of their parents because you don't know who they'll be when they grow up.

LA will never lose.

So I just learned about this 100% R&D salary tax credit that expired in the US in 2022. This... was massive for game companies. This would have been a MAJOR factor in the tech & game industry-wide layoffs and contraction we've seen over the last few years, and I had no idea qz.com/tech-layoffs...

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

my only take on the game prices discourse is that "more expensive games make the scene less accessible, which sucks" and "it makes sense for some games to go up in price relative to their dev costs" are not opposing ideas to me. i don't have any answers tho. i wish a lot of things were different.

Activision had a whole process to send in tips to corporate about "indie games we had heard of" so they could snipe them. I sent in every indie I knew of and as far as I know they never contacted anyone.

This guy from Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando is a true role model

do these people not go outside? are these people completely cut off from normal society? there are trans folks in my friend groups, at the places I work, and at the businesses I frequent. it feels like you could only say it's "inconsequential" if you don't have any trans people in your life at all.

The surprise Oscar nominee has a powerful, unexpected message about life under authoritarianism.

This is 100% true but unlike a lot of the replies I also don’t think standardized titles and workflows in games is particularly possible or desirable.

Just a couple of screenshots from a favorite movie by Kaizo Hayashi. "To Sleep So As to Dream" is a surreal mystery film about a detective and his assistant hired to find a kidnapped actress, leading them into a dreamlike journey through silent film land with hauntingly ethereal worlds.

gwa gwa.

After all the layoffs, I wonder: How many of us will decide to stop going above and beyond for any game company? If you can’t see any benefit beyond eventually being “thanked” and dropped on a whim — why should you care? If extra effort won’t protect you, the effort seems like a poor strategy.
