Our latest preprint: "Landmarks, Monuments, and Beacons: Understanding Generative Calls to Action" is now available on arXiv! It is a nice conclusion to my own PhD, and summarise nicely all the observations and research we did through the last years. w/ @warpefelt.com and @christophsalge.bsky.social

Ex Novo 2nd edition (digital edition) is out, and you can already get it on the game's itchio & DriveThruRPG pages. If you have already bought Ex Novo, you already have access to the 2nd edition. 🏗️ itchio: sharkbombs.itch.io/ex-novo 🏗️ DriveThruRPG: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3...

Congratulations to Dr Hervé! Her work on procedural generation and Minecraft has been really inspirational, and will have a long legacy. You should hire her - she’s an incredible researcher but also a seasoned industry game dev too!

Life update: I am still looking for work, but I am now a doctor, which make it way more fancy 😊

Cisgender folk, if you see a before and after comparison picture of a transgender person, I want you to focus in on the eyes. The dead, heavy before eyes vs the bright, life filled after eyes should communicate why we do this.

The AI and Games Conference returns 3–4 Nov 2025 at Goldsmiths, London! Early bird tickets are live + call for submissions open till July. For more details check out @aiandgames.com newsletter link below. www.aiandgames.com/p/announcing... Contact us for group rates or sponsor details!

Just a reminder that I am about to complete my Phd in Procedural Content Generation, and I am looking for a job :') I have about 5 years of experience as a programmer in AA and AAA studios, I worked on custom engines, Unity, and Unreal. I can work full time, part time, as a consultant, anything!

I have just submitted my PhD thesis 🥹🥹🥳 It’s crazy how time flies. When I started my PhD, I was still a boy, and now I am a grown woman 😳

Public service announcement: Procedural generation is AI. AI is not something bad. Calling everything a computer does AI is, though.

Help our dear organiser, Bojan Endrovski, with his research and fill out the following Procedural Level Generation Survey: lnkd.in/efYNTqdE The outcome of the survey will be shared and all developed tools will be open-source. Reposting or sharing it with others is appreciated!

Of course they did! If you have brand safety concerns, you should never trust raw LLM output.

To all the EU citizens following me: if you haven't signed it yet, today is the last day to get 1millions signatures on this petition to call for a ban on conversion "practices". We are only 100k signatures shorts, we can absolutely do it. Please sign and share 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.

The creative AI community actually did AI-generated recipes in the 2010s, without LLMs or anything like that. They had a lot of fun with it - Simon Colton and Dan Ventura even cooked a bunch of them with an actual chef at an exhibition, and they had fun silly names made by a little Markov generator.

I am currently finishing the write up of my PhD, and let me tell you that Christoph has been an amazing supervisor through the last 4 years, and probably the best I have heard of! If you are considering doing a PhD in CC, it’s a crazy opportunity ☺️

Anti-trans policies don't just hurt trans people. They hurt anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a pink box or a blue one. And they hurt the rest of us by creating pressure to ensure that we always fit neatly into our box.

Question for the US-citizens: how safe is it to travel to San Francisco / California as a foreign trans person right now?

Hear me out: a ttrpg where you eat fortune cookies instead of rolling dices.

AI ? Corrupt governments ? mega-corps ? Genocide in plain sight ? War ? Dead internet ? Body augmentation getting illegal ? Time to wake up Samuraï, we have a city to burn...

We had David Tree over in the ASG lab at the University of Hertfordshire, talking about his work in digitizing and using AI to analyze the ``Warlock of the Fire Mountain'' book. Can we use evolutionary AI to determine if and what story shapes a book has? researchprofiles.herts.ac.uk/en/persons/d...

Attention to anyone wanting to submit a PCG paper. We've extended the deadline for the PCG workshop at #FDG2025 to January 31st. Looking forward to meeting you there! 🚀

Something that I think is particularly interesting about how the original Elite's procedural generation works to make the galaxies is that it creates different textures at different scales. Let me unpack what that means...

The leaked prerender scene featuring a trans story line that Disney/Pixar removed from their new show Win or Lose. (sped up a bit to meet the upload limit)

4 years of discussing the complexity of level design and game environnements, but since the beginning it was just an endless flow of noisy images blend together stochasticly 🤯🤯🤯

Are you looking for an internship (undergrad or grad!), can legally work in London, and want to make experimental work with LEGO bricks, digital *stuff*, and creativity? Consider applying to my team! www.lego.com/en-gb/career...

#GoalState goes live in just under 2 hours time. Join me from 14:30 GMT as we livestream my pushing the big red button. It's not big, nor is it red, but y'know, it sounds scary. www.youtube.com/live/ASXhuqs...

It's never too late to learn Game AI! 🦾🤖 Over the past year I created an online course that teaches classical AI in to modern videogames, covering both theory and practice, from Behaviour Trees to Neural Networks. 🧠 (free trial link below 🧵👇) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qED1...

IT ALL KICKS OFF TOMORROW! #GoalState is finally happening! Accessible, practical, relevant material on AI for game development. The anxiety is high and I'm pushing through! All we need is 200 awesome people to back the course and and it's funded. Do you know 200 awesome people? I think I do...

I will be attending the @aiandgames.bsky.social conference tonight and tomorrow. Come say hi 👋☺️ #AiandGamesConference
