“These new tools help us achieve greater realism in our movies” Aha, but I don’t actually want things to look more real. I actually don’t want that.

It's 2026 and I just finished Portal

(significantly more but still technically limited) power

when I was younger I arrived at a house party and as soon as I walked in, a friend of mine handed me a spoonful of some kind of spicy paste and said "you need to eat this, everyone else has!"

how I feel making games vs how I look making games

4 year Respawnniversary 🥳

What do you mean it's been THREE years???

I always laugh when I see a "name a thing you've done X times" post cos I'm the type of person who finds a thing I like and then I'll watch/play/listen to that thing over and over and over until I've truly burned myself out on it.

figma remember my choice for how I want my files sorted challenge (impossible)

SNEAK 100

Reposting an old one cos I've been deep in NDA land and my portfolio literally hasn't been updated since...

Here's a bunch of icons I created for @cultofthelamb.bsky.social Woolhaven ☃️ Always heaps of fun!

I mean sure, my golden goose lays a bunch of golden eggs every month. But I spend 5 bucks a month feeding it and frankly that's unacceptable.

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

Look, I've said this before but if you need to drop in a placeholder asset to make sure a system is working then make it obvious. If it's even somewhat convincing then there's a significant chance it's gonna end up shipping, because you'll forget and other folks are less likely to catch it.

Game devs adding 'temp' assets that they're gonna come back and update later

HOBBIT!

As someone who has never played a Resident Evil game, where would folks recommend starting these days?

Me and the besties ❤️

If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

I've often wondered if things are actually getting worse or if I'm just becoming more aware as I get older. But I think it's both actually.

In case you haven't seen it yet, the Battlefield art team launched a massive BF6 Art Blast on Artstation this week :) This is an absolutely stellar team all around!! ...and please forgive me in being very partial here; the team at DICE has been making magic and I couldn't be prouder. Enjoy ✨

Outer Wilds is 50% off on Steam till March 7! That means I have to shout again to say how awesome this game is (even though shouting in space isn't super useful). Brilliant game design serving a haunting sci-fi narrative.

Bananas. Because a single banana has at least 3 different textures, all of which are unpleasant.

Got Henry thinking he'd be cute but he's actually just infuriating when he inevitably gets stuck and you turn around to see this:

from the people that brought you all of this the star wars jedi team at respawn is now hiring for 12 roles www.respawn.com/careers-list...

Fun news! We're looking for a narrative designer to join our team. Help us work on Star Wars Jedi! ✨ jobs.ea.com/en_US/career...

Game Dev Story is a basically realistic portrayal of game development, except for this part

The kids actually made animals that don't exist. The AI just put a bunch of stuff that already exists together into a polished slop blender. You can't get a better illustration of why AI can't create anything new while human creativity is bottomless.

Come and make something awesome with a bunch of incredibly talented folks. I will also be there 🫡 www.respawn.com/careers/map-environment-artist-star-wars-jedi
