I often think about Jonathan Cooper's posts about TLOU2, that the studio ran out of seasoned game animators because its reputation was so bad and thus had to hire film folks who had to be taught how to put games together.

the harsh reality I've learned is that no one is layoff-proof It doesn't matter how many late nights, how many tears, how much of yourself you give. take care of yourself.

Take a closer look at the artwork that inspired the animation... This print, 'A Drinking Party', forms part of a series titled 'A Set of Goldfish series' by Utagawa Kuniyoshi and dates to 1839–1842. 🌟A Drinking Party, part of A Set of Goldfish series by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861). EA1971.157

you can def network vertically, but prioritize networking horizontally surround yourself with kind, hardworking, and talented friends, and it’s only a matter of time before your careers go places also: if you can’t take an opportunity, pass it on to a friend who’d do just as well if not better

NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Andar de avião se tornou uma das piores experiências da vida cotidiana que cada vez requer mais dinheiro pra se tornar uma fonte menor de estresse pra quem precisa viajar.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Last year at TGA, Swen said the next GOTY winner would be a team that, among other things: "the people in charge forbade from cramming the game with anything who's only propose was to increase revenue and didn't serve the game design" Is this putting the team and other developers first?

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

I adore the work and advocacy of Larian, and wish it extended to respecting and refining the craft used in *all* of their processes, rather than selectively eroding them with AI--especially because it's those refined processes that have produced the games so many loved over their last three titles.

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.

Everyone is more or less okay with it” dude you make people emigrate to work there because you don’t do remote work, they risk having to change countries if they disagree with it

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

Hi, we don’t use genAI in any phase of production ESPECIALLY CONCEPTING because doing so would defeat the purpose and role of concepting. Ok bye!
