Microsoft should exit the gaming industry and preferably my plane of existence. If BDS was not enough to convince sideliners, what MS did to id is unforgivable. Perhaps the most important western gaming studio in existence - a historied house of culture and art with genre defining talent.
Unreal Devs! Do not sleep on this, specially if you're making a demo, first impressions are VERY important and this will get rid of pretty much all the stutter issues. #gamedev #indiegame #unrealengine #ue5

One of my favourite artists in the and sci-fi realm. Absolutely iconic work and defined grimdark with a unique look (all his work is almost immediately identifiable). Will truly be missed.
Never forget when John Blanche, who was not only a big influence on me as an artist, but proof that you could have an expressive, personal style in the games industry, emailed me about my uni experience, as his son was looking to go to same place - he also said nice things about my art! RIP John!

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation: “The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”
Finished First Light aka “IOI presents Splinter Cell: Conviction 2” Damn, this game was a blast! Full of gorgeous environments and heartfelt performances. Immaculately paced too - inventive setpieces punctuate miniature stealth sandboxes and sections of light social engineering.

Alex here has a great perspective on the looming AI issues in game dev, art work, and why the human art/programmer/playet connection is one of the most important things that this AI trash is actively seeking to replace. Read this!

Decided to balance the multi-projectile reflect by having parries damage your weapon's durability. It won't break until the animation finishes though, so you can reflect any number of bullets at once #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Only just now, 3 months later I watched @techconnectify.bsky.social video on solar panel technology and loved it. I was proud to hear Alec talking at the end about real world politics with such passion. Techtubers of the world should see that and be inspired.
My book is in the field in Donbas. And in coffee shops in Taiwan, half a world away. It's in the hands of the readers, all over the world. This is such a rewarding feeling to realize I am someone's connection to Ukraine. I LOVE IT 🇺🇦⚔️
Trying to feel this way now. Very grateful for my Family, my friends my colleagues and the metric ton of random people who have messaged me and helped me through this really trying time. Thank you everyone.
Anyone know how to fix it in premiere when audio wave form for clips does not show up on one timeline? These are all the same type of file with same audio encoding. On some timelines it shows, on others... it does not. Makes no sense.
If the games industry had the power to make certain games a cultural phenomena with global hit sales, it would so all the time. However, the games industry cannot even agree on what "alpha" means

As Europe is slowly warming up again it’s time for my annual reminder that adding shade to the urban environment helps to reduce the urban heat island effect massively. It's a super important tool to keep cities cool during the summer.

All this GenAI shit remains extremely "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." coded.
this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.
So excited to be announcing @stupendiumsoftwork.bsky.social for the team today. A new UK studio with joy, camp, theatrics, top notch FMV, and serious silliness at its heart. Something we all need! Working on a survival horror that's going to knock your SOCKS off.
