If you think games are in a bad state, there are demos that can fix you: - Virtue and a Sledghammer - Entropy - Moldrise - Penguin Colony - Burn-9 (that’s just what I have time to play which is no time at all!) There’s so many ideas still to explore and so many people doing it. Don’t ignore them.

I was tired of having lots of mini rants about AI art, why it's aesthetically bad, and the larger moral issues with it. So I plopped them all here. Bit of a long read but hopefully useful to someone.

Play on easy. Play on hard. Play cozy games. Play brutal games. Play one game all year if that’s what makes you happy. Video games are not a purity test. If they bring you joy, comfort, laughter, escape, or peace… you’re playing them right.

The gameplay theme is that you will be forced to make important choices with an incomplete understanding of what has happened and what is going to happen and the consequences will feel unpleasant and also this is all of us for all history and will be us forever.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

Good article by

about a "cozy" airport security game. Wholesome games tend to reimagine labor -and reality as a whole- as we'd like it to be: beautiful, tidy, meaningful, social... but why would there be terrorist threats in this utopia?

I've learned (and I am still learning) how to run a game studio for the last seven years doing both creative and biz. Here's a list of guidelines that work for us and might be useful for others that were lessons I've incorporated with our experience and guidance from others. 🧵
