Finally going through everything I got at Bitsummit. (It was a bit too busy beforehand. 😅) One thing I started doing a few years back is collecting ephemera from games. My collection is a bit of everything though it is mostly indie games. It's a great source of reference too!

Ive seen multiple posts online saying that "there are no game devs doing games without AI today" which is complete bullshit Raise yor hand if you don’t use any form of LLM and actively avoid it ✋

working on a new project for @aftermath.site: a semi-comprehensive, regularly-updated list of every game studio that refuses to use AI. if that sounds like your studio, message me with the reason(s) why as well as basic details about what you make. DMs open and email is [email protected]

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

Localisation is far more difficult than the public realises. It requires art, design, engineering, translation, and production logistics have to all align in the right way to ship something good. It is not something you can slap in at the end.
