There's something delightful about teaching people how to build cities in text. Better yet, it's an effective way to get a practical intro to game urbanism & the design of game cities. Also, here's my *Create An Interactive City In Text using ink* course: www.d6learning.com/course/nov26...

I'll admit that assigning the right unicode symbol to the logs of my main game managers is a lot of fun to me (yes, I know it's a waste of time, but also not: helps reading logs much faster 👀) (and yes: Unity's console supports almost all colored symbols) (and sure: I strip them away in builds)

we love Chainsmoker Cat here

The Last of Us Serbian Edition (these are actually from a place called Niška Banja, which is very nice: nature, cats, some cool ex-communist buildings and some cursed abandoned ones)

🔪FULL TRAILER for our new game Apple Crumble! 🔪 It’s your grandma’s 84th birthday party and nobody is trying to murder her. Stop suspecting your family members, and don’t worry about the strange man in your bedroom. A new creepy-cozy mystery thriller from the creators of Duck Detective.

beautiful: in Italian parliament a member of the hyperfascist party insisted on calling Anna Ascani Mr president instead of Mrs or just president, so she started calling him Mrs and he went batshit crazy because as usual these toxic males have the most fragile masculinity youtube.com/shorts/14wsv...

in Italy we thought we had it bad with the current fascists but now there's fascister fascists gathering around a party led by a kindergarten-level military bully and they started beating immigrants on the street and posting videos because they feel nobody can touch them. LET'S FUCKING TOUCH THEM

Microsoft but also lots of other corps: "AI will help humans and make *things* better." Proceeds to lay off most humans and make *things* definitely worse

in Italy we got this family that lived in the woods and self-poisoned by accident: for that and more the state separated them from their children, which "angered" populist politicians, and it quickly became the most boring news cycle for months. So, yes, GTA VI has now become more boring than that

such a lovely time with Florent, just too short, sigh sigh. And yes, fuck the rich side of the fence and check Ithaca out ^_^

Le Pixel Hunt - Making Games at the End of the World@thepixelhunt.bsky.social · last mo.

Today on the road to Ithaca, we meet with one of the project's team members, Daniele Giardini, aka @demigiant.com, and we discuss looking on the other side of the fence and designing our the game's main character, Penelope. Please back Ithaca on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ith...

once again, it's very simple: an AI is not a human ffs 👀

preparing to upload an update to DOTween and discovered a new change: Unity assets min version is now 2022.3 (released May 20, 2023). I'm frankly embarrassed that us asset devs are forbidden from supporting projects older than 3 years, which is a very short time in gamedev :(

this is beautiful and. Just. So. Fucking. Reasonable.

Florent (aka @thepixelhunt.bsky.social) be trippin' towards Ithaca to make Ithaca, which is a beautiful thing that should see the light of day and of that one polyphemous eye. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ith...

Ithaca: A Narrative Road-Trip RPG About Climate Resistance

the things is: quote with your yellow art

quote with your yellow art!

yes: AI's political, economical, environmental, educative aspects are tragic. But every day it's the willingness of people to relinquish our humanity to the gluttony of generative AI, as if it was something that needed to be purged, that baffles me most

this guy is talking as if he never heard of concept art before (he obviously did, his fake ignorance is part of the dishonesty of it all) and only AI could do something like that. Something that, previously, was made by human hands and gave us some of the most beautiful game-related art books

We asked the Crystal Dynamics team about its use of generative AI in developing Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Here’s what Jeff Adams, experience director on the game, had to say.

Here's the official revel trailer for Ithaca, our road-trip RPG about climate resistance. The world is burning. There’s a hostage in your trunk. How far will you go? If you'd like to play this one day, please consider backing the project on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ith...

Absolutely over the moon to say that our next game, Ithaca, will be part of the @dayofthedevs.org Summer Game Fest edition this Friday. And we've got a TON of things to reveal, so stay tuned!

I have a gamedev joke but nvidia would say it's no laughing matter and it doesn't change the artistic control
