Post a ship that's not Star Wars or Star Trek

Allez, le call to speaker pour la Gamecamp, c'est envoyé.

Having being on-and-off narrative and producer, I feel this tweet so much. But to be fair to producers : a game's narrative can range from "a nice little added touch woven into the GD" to "it's the project's whole parallel universe" : the switch from one paradigm to another is not intuitive at all.

AI takes away control from the artist's creative output, no matter how you put it. There is no mastery witout intent and control over its translation. Artists need tools, not randomizers.

I was listening to "ce pur banger" when I was still working at Midgar. Now that it's public I can FINALLY share it. (feat. Cédric Menendez & Emi Evans) www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMKPjtbUuq0&feature=youtu.be

Not even four days since I left Midgar, and the urge to make games is already off the charts.

Today was my last day at Midgar Studio. I measure my luck to have been able to work 9 years on a genre of games dear to my heart : JRPGs. I also measure my luck to be in a position where I chose to move on, instead of been forced by obscure economical tectonics.

After working on it for nearly 2 years, it's finally time to announce our next big project! 🎉 🔧 Robot Recycler Ryn 🔧 is a robot construction RPG where you craft and build wacky combat robots, piece by piece! Wishlist now on Steam! Repost appreciated ❤️

Mais quel banger chairmanmaf.bandcamp.com/track/raspbe...

I'm getting increasingly worried that coffee breaks (indulging in caffeinated drinks, thus increasing focus and productivity) are not *actual* breaks, but a trojan horse.

please play King of Dragon Pass, Six Ages, and Six Ages 2: Lights Going Out

Didn't think I would one day look for the accurate adjective to qualify everything that comes in relationship with an aunt, but there I am.

Mainstream AI use and popularity comes from the fact that it's a fascinating toy to use. But whenever craftmanship is involved, it's tools we need. Not toys. The difference lies in how good either is able to respect the author's intent. 'Cause we can't ask AI to make choices for us.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Comme promis elle arrive. Ce sera ma vidéo avant la pause estivale. On recommencera en Septembre ou plus tard. Hésitez pas à me "Re-blusker" youtu.be/2HIu0M2Gdbs?...

This is from Haaretz, an Israeli news site. It proves that Israeli concentration camp soldiers have been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid. No Western media will run this story or even refer to it, because real Western journalism is mostly dead.

Exactly this. I feel like my impostor syndrome is aging like fine wine.

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

Yup, it's time to go. Even through the sorry state of affairs, the Game Camp has been a real joy for me. I'm glad I met so many interesting and helpful people.

SAG-AFTRA reaches tentative agreement with major studios that includes 'AI guardrails'

La semaine prochaine, je vais me transbahuter jusqu'à Lille pour la Gamecamp. Toujours content de parler d'artisanat vidéoludiques avec qui veut !

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Some days, I feel like a oily, blood-soaked leather plushie filled with my own ashes. Nothing a little 90's eurodance mix can't fix, really.

see this so much these days? also with complicated themes or unpleasant choices. really not liking the shift toward having EVERYTHING need to be nice and sweet and cosy and prechewed. humanity is in the full spectrum. in the uncomfortable and the crunchy. that’s not a moral failing on our part

On trouve comment des illustrateurs ou illustratrices qui cherchent des scénaristes ?

We're getting worked up about youths giving in to the ease of AI use, but what can we possibly tell them when they say : "Why bother, when a machine can do it ?"

Elle est très chouette. Toutes les infos utiles sur l'actu JV sans le doomscroll des RS. 🤠

Il y aura toujours quelque part en moi la petite voix nasillarde de son Vegeta pour me botter le train quand me viennent des envies d'abandonner. Ses interprétations, quel cadeau. Merci à lui 🙏

Repo Man is a weird one. A "debt-collecting RPG" (immersive-sim ?) in a Art-Nouveau city plagued by fae. Very strong visual identity, interesting pitch, apparently vaporware. Played the demo, it was promising - though very rough and buggy.

4 types of characters I write 1. Self-deprecating loser unwittingly fighting for the greater good 2. Kind and empathetic healer with a fireproof plan to conquer the world 3. Mother who hides her universal love for others behind snark & sarcasm 4. Unrepentant troll waging a war with boredom

Si vous avez pas déjà checké les vidéos d' @uxexplorer.bsky.social, je vous conseille vivement. C'est futé, accessible et riche. Et en plus il sait de quoi il parle vu que c'est son taf.

En attendant vous pouvez toujours regarder la dernière vidéo en date. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0SV... Des insultes dans le chat aux lootboxes pour mineurs, quels outils existent vraiment pour nous protéger ? Réponse dans cette vidéo!

I know my games industry mutuals are already well aware of this (and suitably annoyed about the importance of it), but a game receiving an "overwhelmingly positive" reception on Steam (95% positive reviews) gives it a major, major buff to visibility. The Hundred Line is currently sitting at 88%.

I'm terrible at self-promotion, but it's now been 11 years since the CRPG Book project began and 2 years since we published our Expanded Edition! 167 volunteers worked to write about over 400 RPGs - from early mainframe games to mainstream classics, plus all sorts of cool hidden gems. Check it out!

I hope for a future when we'll look at unregulated big tech being used by children & teens just as we look today at cocaine being unregulated and widespread in the 19th century.
