Unless the staff goes against the ruling, it's just crocodile tears. If you accept fascism and discrimination as is, you're no better than the fascists. I would rather die than sit down at the nazi table. Shame on terf island and their trans genocide.

This is a constant in game dev interviews and I find it very sad.

Atención! Hoy Marta Trivi debuta en elDiario.es cubriendo desde el terreno lo que está pasando en Ubisoft Barcelona www.eldiario.es/cultura/trab...

No sabía yo que en España la mayoría de salas de cine son en versión original y la mayor parte de la recaudación se hace sin necesidad del trabajo de localización. Ah no, espera, que incluso el VOSE necesita del gremio de traducción. Pd. Menudo esnobismo de "tanto ganas tanto vales" de 💩

Otro estudio de animación que me rechaza y que me entero que están usando IA para "lo fácil". "Lo fácil" es la puerta de entrada de juniors como yo que ven cómo las oportunidades para trabajar casi no existen. ¿Quién va a animar cuando se jubilen los senior? Anyway busco curro de animación 2D.

"Cris has two modes: one where she never speaks in meetings, and another where, once she starts talking, she never stops." Until then I had received the usual feedback separately: "she's too imposing" and "she's too shy/quiet". Hearing both from the same person made me realize it's a losing battle

divide and conquer. If you want to get rid of women's human rights, you go for the minority groups first, because it's easier for the rest to not care, or even be convinced they don't deserve human rights. Once you have granted them the power to start removing human rights, you're next.

July's Crimson Gazette is out now! Progress on my upcoming mystery adventure game, cross-stitches from The Crimson Diamond, Nintendon't 9, and raising monarch butterflies! Read all about it! 📰 thecrimsondiamond.com/CrimsonGazette94.html

If vibe coding or GenAI-assisted programming really worked, someone would already have released a source control system that actually works for the video game industry. Supporting multiple branches with their own history, able to handle big binary files, and to merge or revert without drama.

Today's game pitch: point and click adventure mixing Invasion of the Body Snatchers with The Truman Show. You awake one day and everything looks the same but everyone talks like chatgpt. How do you react?

You know what? I'm fine with the layoffs, that's something I could live with. It's the sexual harassers, bigots in positions of power and them being hired again and again by game companies that I cannot stand. That's the one thing I wish could be fixed in the industry.

Compitiendo con Minabo por el most cursed name.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

If you are bad at creating 3d graphics, embrace it. That's what From Software did, and it worked for them. Plus, I would love to see modern games using this kind of aesthetic.

Great job 👏

Vaga contra els acomiadaments a Ubisoft Barcelona. 51 persones poden perdre la feina després d'anys treballant en l'últim èxit de la companyia: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. El comitè d'empresa anuncia aturades per protestar contra l'ERO i defensar els llocs de treball.

<<Many rush toward the illusion of having a game, when what they actually have is a playable prototype that does not answer the project's real questions. Then they try to force that prototype into becoming the final game, causing constant changes, technical debt>> saffroncr.itch.io/katavatis/de...

Let's get rid of pervert glasses and nazi cars.

Los bichos

Hi bsky! I'm looking for game writing/narrative design work, freelance or full time! I have 6+ years of experience working with both AAA and indie studios, shipping over a dozen projects like Borderlands 4 and Endoparasitic and more! You can find my website and portfolio here: www.nessacannon.com

Present day. Present time.

There are two types of people: those who read The Nome Trilogy as children and those who think The Hobbit is not a children's book.

Finding weird/eerie places for reference pics is my favorite hobby. 🤓

Research for my game's level design be like

"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best

Fresh on Steam as of *checks notification* 8min ago: tabletop flavored RPG by a guy who left Vanillaware to live in the mountains (true story) and emerged with this. It looks *so* sick. store.steampowered.com/app/4508570/...

I really wish a journalist or writer would look into her husband, Sheryl Sandberg, Fidji Simo, Craig Cincotta, etc. and write the full story. We need the book and the movie. Forget The Social Network or The Wolf of Wall Street. The little I know is unbelievable, surpasses those movies.

Please, stop.

Siento ser tan poco original pero... Qué calor 🥵

Here's my new devlog post, about underestimating scope: saffroncr.itch.io/katavatis/de...

One of my favorite depressing video games, played by one of my favorite online therapists 👀 youtu.be/SDNy_cTTBR0

So this is how democracy dies

In my experience, linkedin is 90% AI slop, like this: "Gaming layoffs are not a failure. It's a market reset. Sustainable DAU growth requires AI-driven acquisition -- only the smartest will survive: LLM optimized monetization, scalable user engagement. Trust the process -- Be the winner."

Leaving this here as a future reference in case I need to remember my fan curves config. Many people say their computer is too noisy, and almost none knows how to setup their fans. I really recommend you to check it out. Mine is basically silent, even in heavy load. And it's easier than you think!

Es el mismo error que cometieron muchas empresas cuando intentaron introducir el concepto de episodios en videojuegos. Como si su producción y creación fuesen semejantes. Todas fracasaron. La ironía es que ahora las propias series episódicas llevan tanto o más tiempo y presupuesto que una película.

Que el game pass no tenía sentido era algo obvio desde el principio, no hacía falta ser un genio para darse cuenta que era una sangría de las arcas de Xbox. Que paguen millones a gente que vende imposibles que llevan a la destrucción de miles de trabajos y que se vayan de rositas es descorazonador.

Talking about Western devs reeks of USdefaultism. Japanese and US companies may share social norms, labor laws, or workplace expectations, But what do Spanish or Swedish developers have in common with US developers? And the erasure of Brazilian or Australian devs, are they West? It makes no sense.

TBF I'm not a graphics programmer so I'm pretty sure my rendering code (including the math) has many issues. Still, as long as it allows me to work in the game, and make it fun, I don't care if my rendering engine doesn't win any awards 🤣

It's funny to see old videos of the Playdate prototype, it's been only three months but I've made so much progress that looking back at this is hard 😅 the dithering had a bug, it was running much slower, it's using the old textures, the old controls, no sound effects...

Want an example? Look at players reactions to Obsidian layoffs, just because the studio is now going to do a Fallout game.

Viene Becky Chambers a Avilés la semana que viene en un horario imposible para mí, pero si podéis ir no os la perdáis. Y leedla, ya sabéis lo importante que fue para nosotras @porqueshonda.bsky.social

Sorry pal: neither Nintendo nor Sony "made" your favorite game. A group of people working there at that time did. Game companies aren't one single dude making every decision and doing all the work. Stop treating companies as people or a single monolithic entity, it's fucking weird.

No aguanto los textos de las IAs: "Esto es cosaquequierovenderte, no son simples palabras, son hechos verificables. Las sinergias corporativas. Los tratados holísticos. La cosaquequierovenderte está aquí para quedarse. Con mi curso aprende a manejarla. Precisión quirúrgica. Hechos, no palabras".

Mi opinión al respecto de las empresas que dicen ser una familia.

I have an even more unpopular opinion: many people only value things when they have to pay for them. I'm always open to mentoring or giving guidance. But in reality, the people who reach out are usually events looking for speakers, or someone asking me to "help" their friend, who has zero interest.

The 7th Guest Remake, developed and published by @vertigo-games.bsky.social and localized in 9 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. Only the localization provider, Localsoft, is credited.

The last two devlogs were fun to write, and I really needed to get them out of my system. But for the upcoming posts, I think I'll return the focus to the actual game project. I don't want the devlog to become "old woman yells at clouds" 😂
