pooping out of my mega burnout depression crash to remind artists that Procedural Generation (procgen) is not genAI.

Hey, everyone. I was unfortunately impacted by today’s RiF at my account. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to the joke. I’m now searching for my next joke. If anyone has any leads on upcoming jokes, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you. #opentojoke

Absolutely Blast Corps. Just imagine it with modern graphics, physics and sane controls!

This hasn't been a priority of any AAA studios for a long while and honestly it is you the end user who is footing the bill. The vast majority of games push your hardware through inefficiency rather than spectacle or quality. You can do a whole lot more with current pcs then you get.

Hot take re Steam Next Fest: many devs are shooting themselves in the foot by releasing a jankfest of a demo. I get that your game is not ready for release yet. BUT a demo is supposed to convince people your game is worth buying. If you just upload your nightly build or whatever, it doesn't do that.

This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free. freedomtobuy.games

GAME, the German game industry trade association, released this *damn* good statement on the unjust NSFW game takedowns www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

It took me 3 minutes to lodge a complain against Collective Shout for falsely identifying as a charity. I encourage other Australian Game devs to do the same.

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

If you care about games, take a moment to read through this and take action. NSFW games might not be for you - they're not for me - but we cannot allow a small group of censorious extremists to decide that people can not make games about sex, about sexuality, and about the role of sex in our world.

This situation where payment processors get to decide what we can all play, read and watch is untenable. Doesn't matter what local laws around free speech are, what the folks running storefronts views are, a handful of companies now have the final say.

Increasingly convinced the main damage cell phones have done to creativity isn't decreased attention spans or what not but the elimination of productive boredom. Inspiration comes from the mind filling the void inside. Hard to make art when you're constantly silencing the silence with "content."

hey so uh one of the main Nintendo Switch 2 Direct streams completely ate our trailer due to I guess technical difficulties?? so if you guys could share this it would mean a lot 😅
