if it's layoffs on ship no matter what, never pay that company for anything. why would you. your money will never reach anyone who worked on what you bought, or respected those people. you'll not be investing in anything in any sense software is on the honour system and these people have no honour

A strip done in collaboration with the @humanartistry.bsky.social , starring Question Hound as he gets some unwanted help for a comic he’s working on:
Hoping this new steam capsule does a better job explaining the game at a glance. I'm not really in a major genera so the normal symbols are a bit harder for me. When you see this what does it make you think?
This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

Moss launched on consoles today. I'm so excited for all the people who have never played the Moss games to finally get to play them. They are the reason I fell in love with Polyarc in the first place, and so much care went into bringing them to flatscreen consoles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMwW...

Just thinking about Barotrauma. Love a game about building a submarine. Should be a whole genre imo
Microsoft engineered this so that it looked the least bad optically while at the same time still committing a slaughter, all so that Satya Nadella can still dick around with more useless AI horseshit. Fuck him and fuck Microsoft.

Do you know what is irresponsible? Thinking some child porn is acceptable... as long as it doesn't limit the reach of your far right ideologies Not sure why i thought of that just now... because Tim totally didn't say that when he said that. He just said that.. but he didn't. So stop saying he did
GamesIndustry.biz@gibiz.bsky.social · last mo.The CEO of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, has said that Valve's decision to have disclosure labels for projects on Steam that make use of AI is "really irresponsible". www.gamesindustry.biz/epics-sweene...
if you're not in the know, hourences leaving epic is the reddest red flag of all time
"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"
Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social · 2mo agoI spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...
The UE6 keynote has made me depressed. Maybe I should open a bakery instead
as predicted! There will be literally no point in anyone installing UE6 I would say "unless they roll back the AI and Verse shit", but that's the whole thing. We're only 8 versions into UE5, UE4 got to 27. UE6 is illegitimate, it's not anything *but* a product of ai psychosis
Joe Wintergreen@joewintergreen.com · 2mo agoIn like an hour and a half the State Of Unreal thing is going to happen. It will have some cool stuff and some dogshit stuff that totally dwarfs the cool stuff. Someone will say really stupid shit about AI, the "metaverse", UEFN, plans to make the world worse will be announced... avert your eyes tbh
"Actors and Blueprints will be in early versions of UE6. Eventually, these will be deprecated" RIP Blueprint, you had a good run. www.unrealengine.com/news/the-roa...

this is a good example of how the explicit goal with AI is to relentlessly erase humanity "we decided to not have anyone care to do this step" and just like that, the sense of wonder looking at this piece of art is lost, along with the jobs artists would've had youtu.be/ZR2xbcf3Xyw?...
