Studios not being allowed to survive making bad video games and learn from them is also a reason bad video games keep happening

A friendly reminder that Double Fine's Psychodyssey is one of the finest pieces of media ever created, and a must-watch for anyone who cares about video games, yet somehow it's also completely free www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

AUTHORS! Do not, without the explicit permission of an illustrator, upload the art from your book into any AI system to create content like trailers for your book. I cannot believe this needs to be said AND HERE WE ARE.

Happy #caturday

Here is the second pack that anyone asking going forward will be added to. go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

We worked on this! A must have for any fans of the Ninja of the Nth Dimension.

The best leaders in this industry aren’t those who have a hyper-detailed, one-man-show vision of their project. They don’t minimise or claim the work that their teammates do. They are the ones who are excited about what others can bring to the dynamic. Who hold the vision, rather than own it.

Surprise! We helped out on a thing.

Is this... the sound of a bubble popping?

Not 👏🏻 enough 👏🏻 Bankrupt them.

Before I became a full time freelancer, I often worked 80 hour weeks to maintain both my day job and my lettering career. Burn-out came often and I don't recommend it. I've since developed a daily system that helps me focus on my work without burning me out. I wrote about it here: alturl.com/x645t

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"
