Even without the woke thing please know "a strong senior-junior hierarchy" combined with offering "high responsibilty" and causing "agony, weeping, and gnashing of teeth" are big red flags 🚩. Careful applying to companies like this and don't send your students to them.

Studios and publishers going "AI-First" makes me think of this recent study where 85% of players have a negative view of GenAI with 62% being "very negative". Only 7.6% approve. Makes it hard to believe this is for players as much as its for the shareholders... quanticfoundry.com/2025/12/18/g...

Another favor to ask on a research project. We're wrapping up a large project on AI music. We need folks to participate in a short 10 min quiz to test your ability to distinguish between AI music & human music. Especially looking for help from musicians! uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

What our little studio has been up to!

Owlcat Games (with other studios) just released open source lists of game dev learning resources. From a quick glance looks like there is a bunch of useful info here: owlcat.games/learning

The inspiration for our logo and a very good boy
