EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

If anyone is in game audio and Liverpool (or nearby) based, come down to the Xmas meetup and hang out! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/game-audio... #gameaudio #gamedev #liverpool

PC2 or GabeCube?

Half Life 3 will release at the same time as the Steam Machine

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

When are they adding a BR mode to Halo?

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

Arc Raiders sound design is so tasty, got that Alien vibe which I love. The music is also the perfect amount, not over played. Comes in at the right moments and adds a tonne of atmosphere and fucks off 👌

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Just finished another sound design instrument. This time the focus has been around UI elements so lots of clickys. There’s a few military grade switches in here from airplanes and things each switch has its own character. I’ll post a demo this week when I get chance. #gameaudio #soundesign #diy

In order to reconnect with music and get away from crappy streaming services (that love AI and fund a military company), I’ve dug out my old iPod

I created a quick guide on how to create custom nodes for PCG using Blueprints and C++ I hope this helps someone out there, as I was struggling to find the resources myself! blueshift-interactive.com/2025/09/03/h... #unrealengine #pcg #gamedev #indiedev

OMG been waiting for this for so long! X-Graivty finally has a Steam page. Please go wishlist as it will help us get funding so we can make the full game!

I’m happy that I could find a new venue for the Liverpool game audio meetup. Lovely to meet the regular and new faces that joined. On to the next one!

Not too bad out of 9,656 entries! In the top 3% for art and top 7% for audio. Played some amazing games in the GMTK jam and looking forward to playing all the top rated games 💜

People are going IN. No shots held back. Obsessed with infinite grow, like I get it you’ve got the capitalist brain worm but go do that someone else. For once it’s nice to use a social media site and be social with people.

We've got some exciting X-GRAVITY-related news dropping next week, so stay tuned.. 🛹♨️🌠 #indiedev #gamedev

Actually insane what we were able to pull off in 4 days. New and old game jam team members, lovely to work with them all. Time to rest. Feel free to try out our game ☺️ #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam #gmtk #gmtk25 aldeid.itch.io/threnody

something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end

Seeing Godot being used in Battlefield 6 is wild. Will defo poke around when it’s out! #godot #gamedev #battlefield

"Bluesky is dying" has become something of a meme due to recurring opinion pieces claiming that Bluesky is "dying", an "echo chamber", or both. Here's a quick and dirty analysis of the phenomenon.

I've been picking up DJing and getting involved with the local scene to the point where me and my partner made our own event to host a bunch of DJs here in Liverpool. We recorded everyone's sets and here's the one I did. Enjoy! #music #dj #housemusic #summerparty youtu.be/xMWAoRrr0R4

Happy non binary day to all my binnies that continue to slay and expand what gender means. Love you allll #nonbinary #nonbinaryday

Seems like some of the "benefit" from AI is just lowering of standards and allowing a ton of mistakes
