The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Why can't Epic just be more like their big brother, Valve? There are enough villains already, we don't need one more Tim! See and read the full comic on penny-arcade.com ! #epicgames #capitalism #timsweeney #comedy #foryou

Always happy to help pals out with their projects anyway I can. Ben asked if they could use this badge I made ages ago and I was happy to oblige. I even made some alternates and said use whichever they preferred. Check out the game and support/follow if you can 🤙💙

I don't think I'm buying any electronics for the next four years. Time to dig out the Gamecube and get some replays in

We've published Godot Engine's first written vision statement, formalizing a decade of shared experience building, releasing, and maintaining it. This is intended to guide the Godot Foundation as we make decisions about where to allocate our resources. Read more: godotengine.org/article/godo...

With #SteamNextFest over, I'll give a rundown of how things went for Tyrants Must Fall for the sake of sharing the ugly side of things for #indiedev short answer: terrible. ~100 total demo downloads 20 people actually played 30 added wishlists during the event 1/

Now that Nib and Ink fest is over I can post this silly little comic I did for the charity zine. The theme was 'Eureka'.

homestarrunner.com has the correct update strategy

Psst, did you know you can add this as an award on your steam page? It might make it easier for players who hate AI to know for sure you haven't used it in your game (they're trusting you to be honest thou!) Feel free to nick it from our page 😉 store.steampowered.com/app/4253020/...

It’s all electricity, cables, and the coffee-powered hum of my squishy human brain over here.

I'm so dedicated to not having any of my process look even remotely AI generated that I hand paint my model textures. No part of our process requires AI, and @ellie.bsky.social and I are just a two-person studio with zero budget, so there's no excuse for larger studios.

Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖

Governments are chasing AI investment, even as their publics turn against the technology and the data centers that power it. Canada’s Mark Carney has chosen a shameless approach: to cast the opposition as a lack of “literacy” as he sets out to (re)educate Canadians about the benefits of AI.

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

“For Watterson, it’s a question of maintaining artistic integrity. He derives an enormous amount of pride from the fact that he can say, “I write every word, draw every line, color every Sunday strip, and paint every book illustration myself.”” therepublicofletters.substack.com/p/calvin-and...

But no, let's let microsoft acquire more IPs and studios. They definitely won't shutter them. They pinky swore. In a court of law.

Fuck off, no it isn't. Stop throwing translators under the bus.

With Sega (my former beloved) now jumping on the AI slop train, I'm seeing people say well everyone usea AI now at least for code! No, they don't. And here are 3 starter packs of game devs who don't use ANY AI The slop is not inevitable go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

A little sunday morning comic for ya like the newspapers of yore. Best enjoyed with a sugary cereal.

the video game industry is ~3x as big as film but is treated as niche, so bosses can get away with shit like "fire half of everyone"

"Escape from Crystal Mall is young adult ennui dipped in Y2K chrome." I had a ball writing a little browser game about being trapped in a mall...among other things. I talk a little about the process of making it here! elzyg.com/blog/2026-05...

#Mayllennial Day 29: Handheld Gaming I haven’t owned a handheld since the GBA, I have a Switch Lite because my gf bought an Oled Switch to replace it! Streaming stuff with Game Pass works well enough, but I’d rather draw while on lunch. Playing something for only 20-30 minutes kinda stinks.
