It used to take years for a human developer to fail to make a Metroidvania. With AI, we can now fail to make a Metroidvania in weeks

Wibarm (1986) is an action shooter with RPG elements by Arsys first seen on the PC-88 in Japan. With your transforming mech, Wibarm, it's up to you to save the city from invasion!

Disney Animation remade three songs for ASL. For these, we resurrected the original data and pipeline version, reanimated (from near scratch in some places), relit where needed, and re-rendered. Probably the hardest way to do this, but definitely the right way to do it, so that's what we did!

Did you know: The chainsaw in DOOM was modelled off of Tom Hall’s Eager Beaver chainsaw. It leaked oil, and so was kept in a bowl in the id offices. Tom still has it!💛 #DOOM #fps

Last week, a 20 year-old man threw a molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's mansion; two days later, people fired a gun at it. Earlier that week, someone fired gunshots into an city councilman's house who approved a data center. Why the AI backlash has turned violent:

If you free yourself from concepts like "shipping," "making money," and "gameplay," you can just make fun little guys

making video games imagined: make fun little guys actual: invoicing, doing contracts, writing taxes, having planning meetings, doing UI

fell down a rabbit hole, apparently the most thorough guides for Baldur's Gate 1&2 are written by a woman who has been thoroughly blogging all her video game opinions since the 1980s. she gave Baldur's Gate 3 a 2.1/10 rating and scathingly calls it a reddit RPG lilura1.blogspot.com/2024/01/Redd...

Money has been dried up in games for long enough now that there are Obviously Good Ideas that can't find money, and so we're starting to see folks with modest amounts of cash offering it for Ideas from people they know very well, and the cycle begins anew.

even our fiction focuses on bad news what about a crew of space miners who go to a planet and there are no hostile aliens there also the survival conditions are coincidentally actually rather convenient for humans and everything goes just fine as planned sounds nice right

Just gonna reach out again to see if anyone needs an extra hand for Unreal support/Netcode/lobby/character action and controls/fighting games. My cost of living is pretty low and so my rates are reasonable.

One thing I find interesting is that despite seemingly the ENTIRE INDUSTRY trying to kill VR and make it seem as uncool as possible... VRChat has grown almost every month for almost eight years now and is among the top 25 most played things on Steam. Niche? Perhaps, but a big & hungry one.

Realizing there's a substantive number of people who think the Steam Frame is going to be able to run PCVR games natively at 'normal' settings. Has baseline hardware literacy, like just what various classes of devices are capable relative to each other, gotten this bad?

I wonder how many chains a player will pull off in a single turn 🤔 #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Yes, that is what is should be like. www.youtube.com/shorts/1X_oT...

Sometimes I think about how Konami took the original Game Boy, a machine designed to run Alleyway and Mario Land, and made it play a feature complete, expanded version of Tokimeki Memorial that still looked recognizably beautiful with only four colors, and I think it's about time you did, too.

One of my favourite Dragon magazine covers - March 1989's. Always makes me think of Shadowrun's Awakening and what it would have been like for the pilots encountering dragons in the sky for the first time.

Every action rogue like is just a remake of r-type. Change my mind. :-)

Genuinely I do think an LLM interface would be a lot more benign if it didn't actually generate responses (ie, "chat" with the user) or refer to itself as an entity, and was limited to only giving formulaic answers – ie, if it worked like the computer from Star Trek.
