I don't want to spoil what it is, but this house in Big Walk is one of the smartest things I've ever seen in a co-op game.

I got asked about AI in games again! I think we underestimate how, while AI use is more rampant in the East than the West, our protections against it here are dramatically worse.
![From the Gamesradar article: "Necrosoft Games creative director Brandon Sheffield also highlights a cultural divide. "I think we are witnessing an attempted assassination on the very concept of creative work, especially in the West," he says. "While I'm anti AI use everywhere, at least in China and Japan people aren't getting fired with the intention to replace them with AI as that's legally difficult. There it's being used to supplement the work. I've seen Chinese companies express amazement at how Western studios are firing folks in order to have 'fewer devs do more' with AI. Why fire all your good people?"
Sheffield says Necrosoft will never use gen AI. "I feel sick about it frankly," he adds, and he would love to see the tech "be treated like a pariah." In his view, "once you let it infect your studio, [it] creatively bankrupts that studio."
"We've also seen that companies outside of games have had to hire back their engineers because AI couldn't cut it – or they're finding that all their tokens are getting spent by execs on 'convert this PDF to a powerpoint' which is cheaper to just have an intern do! So it may be slightly faster, and a lot worse, but it's also more expensive? Neat ... We're dismantling the entire industry in the interest of short-term shareholder gains and it's just a terrible plan.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qpbuxrel3f3njvjw5rakf532/bafkreidb5l652wbuiw2l7xib3zy2c57q55m2mwhvnhdvhe7z73ca2wqupe)
Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social · 4w agoHe's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...
Trying to draw ponies again. I kinda didn't hate it so I guess that's kinda nice. #pony #mlp #oc #drawingpractice
Been having a ton of fun drawing people's cats on #Webfishing today. I may not be a great artist, but if I can put a smile on someone's face, that's good enough for me. I really need to figure out dogs though, they are an anomaly to me.
I really need to study how to draw bodies especially legs. But anyways, here's another drawing of a character I came across in #Webfishing today! I think I like how this one turned out a little better. #WebfishDoodles
I see so many artists that post art online that's incredible. And that honestly makes it kinda hard to post my doodles sometimes, but I'm gonna try posting some stuff anyway. This was a friend's character on the game #Webfishing I'm not happy with it but I want to make a habit of posting anyway.
I'm trying out this Bluesky thing. I'm pretty new to honestly most Social Media, so it'll be interesting. Good to meetcha!
