German court rules that OpenAI violated copyright laws by training ChatGPT on music 🎵 • May set precedent for Europe AI copyright uses • OpenAI disagrees & can appeal "The internet is not a self-service store, and human creative achievements are not free templates" — German Music Rights Society

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

puter

still really proud of this rocket launcher i did for the quake 2 remaster back in 2023 even if i didn't have as much time to polish it up even more than i'd have liked

FPS FANS: Every week we like to highlight something cool in the indie FPS world - like UZDoom, the GZDoom engine's successor! FPS DEVS: What have you been up to this week? Show it off!

Made a lowpoly Rocinante from The Expanse a couple of years ago

The pre-release for UZDoom's debut is here! If you'd like to help us test UZDoom in preparation for 4.14.3 grab the build here: github.com/UZDoom/UZDoo... (expand the Assets tab) (Windows and Linux available; Mac coming later) Read the details here: zdoom.org/wiki/UZDoom_...

Been a really long time since i posted some modeling here, so here's where i am atm. #3dart #blender #gun #smg

Portagonist from the game @fiskyfisko.bsky.social and I are making, SANG THE DESERT BLADE! wishlist it NOOOOOW YOOOOWL

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Couple wips 🏗️

Looking at the registration form for GDC and they don't even include production or QA or narrative or UI as a role you can have as a game developer 😩

I'm [U]LTRA excited and honored to have been chosen to work on the new logo for @uzdoom.bsky.social! LET'S GOOO! U! Z! U! Z!

Vulture doesn’t miss what you don’t notice.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Coca-Cola's annual Christmas commercial is AI-generated again The company used even fewer people to make it this year “We need to keep moving forward and pushing the envelope … The genie is out of the bottle, and you’re not going to put it back in" (via THR)

I — too — love making trees! (sometimes I think: is *this* game really the best vessel for me just making a bunch of trees?! what game should I have made that's just about me making a bunch of trees for a year..?)

I truly can't stress this enough: No one's art is good enough to justify them being miserable to work with. Almost everyone I've worked with has been wonderful, but the handful of folks that weren't brought the whole team down by being egotistical, sexist, condescending, etc.

People who can't work well with other people are bad coworkers full-stop EVEN IF they excel at their particular craft. Most industries require some sort of collaboration, gamedev especially. You will chase far more good people away keeping your one bad one.

Got this notification on YouTube, that seems mildly concerning if you produce video game content for the platform.

Base for the folds, I'll redo or fix them monday

this halloween skin i did back in 2017 for Fractured Space still goes kinda hard ngl

🥇WINNER: Charles Lemor ($400) This piece is fantastic! We love the striking reds, the contrast on Dawn and that stylish flair throughout. We've always wanted to explore a more stylized direction in our promotional art and this felt incredibly inspiring. Congratulations!

patrons can play this literally right now on my discord btw #vesna #dogNightmare #gamedev #indiegames

Very important factor to this

Once again:

Even in the lands of fantasy, the humble stamp is still the bedrock of bureaucracy. From the banality of delivery receipts to the edicts of nations, they all receive a mark in one form or another. See next post for it in action! 1/2 #substancepainter #b3d #gameart #indiedev

Since when is unionizing "gross misconduct"? The only gross thing I'm seeing here is that statement from R*!

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
