Incredible that just a month or two in, we're just 250 enrollments away from 1,000 Levelling The Playing Field students. I knew affordable and accessible 101 knowledge about commercial game development was needed, I didn't know it'd be this popular. courses.ramiismail.com

Rockstar had a mole in the union worker Discord server "for over two and a half years", GTA 6 company reveals during legal battle https://bit.ly/46U8Y9Q

Extremely heartbroken to say that I'm one of the affected members. Working at KO_OP for four and a half years has been one of the best things to ever happen to me and I really hope that my teammates can land a pitch that can bring us all back together again.

Y'all it's so easy. All we need to do to fix the game industry is have games with millions of dollars of start up money, or games that hit the lottery. Just hit the lottery more guys, it's easy. Or be rich already and make a game.

We need games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Balatro, and Peak as a cure for the "fear" in the industry, say experts www.gamesradar.com/games/we-nee...

How the fuck does the non-profit that's supposed to support the game industry have 40M in revenue a year and do fucking nothing?

Sherveen Uduwana@suduwana.bsky.social · 2mo ago

btw if the ESA or any of these studios wanted to put together an initiative to provide financial relief to laid off game workers, they have ~$60M in total assets that they could allocate towards one. They're welcome to reach out to me if they need info on how to set one up.

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

Shoutout to @gamechanger.dropout.tv and @joshruben.bsky.social for capturing the vibe of every single artist out here fighting for their life in 2026

The DoubleFine layoffs hit me hard. They've survived the worst ups & downs of this industry for my entire career, somehow always hanging on & continuing to make their weird, fun little games. Their current precarity hits hard. The games industry has been gutted. The AAA space is unrecognizable to me

Can you lovely lot send my way the best #PS1 - #PSX artists you know that might be looking for work? (Generally looking for more crash bandicoot/Spyro looking stuff over photo based/Horror works) It's for a thing 👀 #gamedev #gameart

I feel like I'm finally starting to hone in on the style and aesthetic I want for SHE through the models. I also learned how to make control rigs with IK and FK tweaking, for smoother, easier animation

It's been a few months of learning, and I feel I reached a new benchmark for modeling, textures and rigging!
