I'm trying something new: #gameaudio tutorials! Here's a first one on how to generate bird sound patterns (or really any kind of sequence of sounds) with #unrealengine5 #metasounds! youtu.be/fpLvXnE_c9U?...

oh neat! For Caleb's "Zemnian" in The Mighty Nein in German they do use a different German other than "Hochdeutsch"! Can't tell which exactly it is though

The first 3 The Mighty Nein episodes were so good. It's so strong right out of the gate, and treating the campaign as a first draft instead of making a direct adaptation is serving it really well

Did you know that big studios monitor piracy? Don't you fucking dare pirate this shit. Do not hate watch through piracy. JK Rowling is a disgusting human being that funds and encourages the hurt, pain and death of my fellow trans peers. Support media that actually deserves our time and money.

Ohoho, my game combat prototype is getting quite playable! Soon I can find out... If it's any good at all and worth continuing working on

wow that survey GOG sent around has the weirdest questions. "GOG is a part of me and who I am as a player" wtf? It's just a digital games store!

idk who needs to hear this but you don't have to be a certain age to start something. start dance, take up cooking, try to learn the new language you've been wanting to learn. you got this and I believe in you. it's never to late to start a new chapter

My partner still plays the game we made at my last job and that's reeeeally rewarding. We did a good job for the person I care the most about! :D

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

Do you think after the dad games of the 2010s in like one to two decades we'll have a slew of granddad games?

Watching videos of my 7 year old nephew riding motocross off-road, remembering that at that age I had just learned to ride a bicycle without training wheels

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

It's unfortunate that the game I dreamt had deck building. I'm so bad at deck building and just designing it at all. Now that I'm making that game I'm forced to do it!

Adoring the amount of comments on the Wuthering Heights movie trailer going "Love Story??????"

The news is out that my old studio (Massive Miniteam) is no more. It's really sad. It's incredible how the game and the team grew over the years, and I can guarantee that every single person that came out of that studio is damned excellent and a boon to any studio who hires them.

Don't supermarkets know that when I buy something, they have to offer it forever, because I'll forever rely on it and will be distraught if it's no linger available? The audacity of just changing what they sell without consulting me specifically!

Oh my god, I completely forgot Sankt Martin exists. Last time I had any contact with it was probably exactly 30 years ago. While the neighbour's kid was singing, I was desperately trying to remember what you give in return. Then tried to remember if we even had any Halloween candy left to give.

The amount of folks saying that I'm brave for speaking out because of the article, thanks. I'm doing my best. It's hurt my career but it's worth it. When I go to bed I feel like I've done my best and I wasn't complicit in hurting people. That is important to me www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Argh, after having a heated discussion with my dad about genAI (where he said people won't listen to me if I'm absolutist and don't acknowledge the positive things. Then he listed a couple of examples which weren't genAI), he now sends me an article where Mark Cuban says "AI is good" gaaah

Reread the first two chapters of Fullmetal alchemist, and my god it really was that brilliant from the start

Saw they're doing a Wicked double feature at the cinema, which is great for me, considering i couldn't go when part one was running. But now I checked the runtime and I'm not sure I can manage watching both movies in a row for 5-6 hours! That's so long!

KPop Demon Hunters singalong in the cinema was a lot of fun! Though it was super hard to overcome the instinct to not make any noise at all during a movie. And I was clearly not alone with that. I think I could only hear people outside of my group singing when we got to the last song.

That is a wrap! Last weekend we held our yearly game jam, with many devs joining us to create 4 amazing games! Check them out here: itch.io/jam/fem-devs... . Thanks to everyone who joind us for this exciting weekend 💚

Omg this year we actually had several trick or treaters! We actually ran out of candy and had to add some of our own candy

We're cooking something #indiegame #horrorgames

In my limited experience writers block is what happens when you haven’t brought together enough disparate yet compatible ideas yet, and it’s always a good thing. The other thing is burnout. AI might help with that, I suppose, in the same way that young people help with aging by partying for you

having to talk with a "digital assistant" instead of a human when calling a doctor or customer support is the worst. So much worse than having to speak with a real human on the phone, and that's already plenty bad.

I was for once on linkedin yesterday and the amount of "open to work" rings, the amount of devs announcing their last day, the amount of devs talking about how they're still jobless 1-2 years in... It's so sad and disheartening

So if we’re keeping track of who’s been “come for”: Disabled people shouldn’t leave their homes Immigrants aren’t safe anywhere Black & brown citizens can be detained & brutalized even more easily Cis women aren’t entitled to certain healthcare Trans people aren’t allowed to exist some places

Finally finished watching Andor. Brilliant show. Though the final two episodes were weirdly long and kinda different. Strange choice, specially killing the protagonist early and replacing him with this farm boy Luke for the finale!? I liked it though.

I'm playing anthem to have at least known it before yet another game leaves us forever. One thing I wondered about was the very odd choice to have green fog and skeletons and bones everywhere in the main city hub. ...I finally realized it's a Halloween thing :D

Gute Nachrichten: Der Bundesrat hat den Vorschlag, Sonderregister zur Nachverfolgung von Namens- und Geschlechtseintrags-Änderungen nach SBGG abgesetzt, also gar nicht erst zur Abstimmung gebracht. www.bundesrat.de/SharedDocs/T...

Hahahaha oh god, the last part of BG3 took almost half a day. What the heck. But I'm done! And it was great! Goodbye you bunch of messed up weirdos! It was great growing alongside you

I often say we all have the power to impact someone's day, or life even, through words only. You can save a life with a simple compliment. You can save someone's passion with a kind word. Being louder than hatred with what you love and kindness isn't silly nor weak, it's a needed strength.

Was at a big new nerd shop (comics, manga, toys, etc. from really old to new) yesterday, and talked with one of the employees there about the media jobs we lost, and then complained about AI together and how wonderful art is. I like the shop

Watched the music videos to the Colorful Stage: Miku Who Can't Sing songs and wasn't ready for how hard they can hit.

Now up on my YouTube: A little overview of the music I composed for the Mountain Biome in ODDSPARKS! youtu.be/BSqTqKoThuk?...

This made me cry

I love that our cats learned how to play with each other, but did it have to be chasing and fighting at 6 am under and around our bed while loudly meowing? I guess it does

Maybe you think you're a special exception somehow but you're not. This shit will rot your brain too. And suddenly you're unable to recognize bigotry and abuse when it's 100% serious, with zero layers of irony, because you've conditioned yourself to think that everything is to be decoded.

Maybe the constant extreme self-deprecation "jokes" are bad for an already marginalized group actually. You know, repeated exposure to an idea makes humans more likely to accept it as fact regardless of whether it's "just a bit".

To think I'd spoken with an EA recruiter just last month. Glad it wasn't an option for me

I feel what's particularly grim, beyond all the obvious things, is that it seems that once the money leaves games, it just doesn't come back. There's just no reinvestment, it's all just cashing out. Leaving the next gen of founders with nothing to build from.

Oh no, the more complex the game you're making becomes, the more complex it becomes to add new things. Who could've ever expected that!?

I'm about to live comment on a two player speedrun of Oddsparks!

One massive annoying thing about the USA's uncontrolled descent into madness is that it has so much splash damage on everyone else. I'm not up to date with US politics because I want to, it's because I need to know when I'm also going to be hit by the consequences of some Iowa's farmer's vote

Just for the record. I don't want to talk with my tech.

Model kit going well

I bought my first weiss schwarz deck recently, but it's all in japanese. Guess I have a learning goal now :D 😬 Also I guess I need to know someone else who also has a deck!? I wonder which will be harder to achieve

Forgot to post this here yesterday, but new website is finally up! 😎🎉💃 #conceptartist #2dartist #gameartist
