Adding GenAI to everything and not telling you in hopes you don't turn it off is for sure a great sign that everyone likes it and it's a totally valid business and not a scam.

Samuel Molina@fukuy.bsky.social · 2mo agoLos publishers/distribuidores/tiendas preocupados ahora por el fin del formato físico en consolas tienen aún una oportunidad de revitalizarlo en PC (donde la fabricación es libre). Sería factible lanzar ediciones físicas en PC (formato usb stick o SD card) sin DRM.
Yo no quiero que el formato físico para videojuegos desaparezca, pero como usuario del formato digital que soy desde hace décadas tampoco creo que la solución pase por desprestigiar lo digital. Steam, GOG o 'Internet Archive' son buenos ejemplos de preservación, ownership y precios baratos.

Mi opinión sobre las últimas noticias del lanzamiento y distribución de de #GTAVI: Lanzar el juego en físico día uno con solo una key me parece absurdo y demuestra que el modelo tradicional retail ha quedado obsoleto. ------(1/6)
This is the death of Unreal for me. #gamedev
ari velazquez 🌯@arivelazquez.com · 2mo agoepic has seemingly abandoned visual verse, the stupid idea that was gonna replace blueprint. so now they just want to remove blueprint entirely and shoot themselves in the dick by getting rid of the most compelling sell (imo) of unreal
Great interview. Is always lovely to see proprietary engines in such detail, and it always makes me miss working on one of them 🥲 Anyway, once again:

La calidad visual de la serie 'Maul: Shadow Lord' es IMPRESIONANTE. Cada plano y cada fondo te deja con la boca abierta.
Hablar con liberales sobre vivienda es... surrealista. Te dicen: "si topas precios los caseros no ponen sus propiedades en alquiler, no les sale rentable" Pero a la vez te dicen: "si construimos muchísimo, esos mismos caseros bajarán sus precios de forma voluntaria"

It’s like hiking. Of course I could drive or whatever if getting there was the only reason but *the walking is the fucking point*.
Nathan Grayson@nathangrayson.bsky.social · 5mo agocan’t count the number of times I’ve arrived at a conclusion much better than I originally intended simply by writing. having the hazy outline of an idea and then foisting the rest onto a machine means you never get there. worse, you never develop the instincts or faculties necessary to get there
What a wonderful movie is 'Project Hail Mary'. It definitely has the same uplifting vibe and kind heart as the book.

Every time I see someone say "indies will save us", I think about all the game dev mutuals I have who have made it very clear the same problems facing AAA funding are impacting indies, too.

I'm shocked that this is news for so many folks...
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 5mo agoExact budgets of video-game productions can be tough to corroborate (more transparency from publishers would be nice!) but the numbers I've heard floating around AAA game dev these days are $300 million or more — sometimes much more! — which I think helps explain the current state of the industry

Number one mistake in my opinion from many indie game demos I've been playing so far is the amount of lore dumping and dialog just at the start. Let me move around and discover things by myself before locking me down just reading... let me care for the world and people before explaining it!
Aún no ha empezado el STEAM Next Fest y ya tengo un catálogo de demos por probar excesivamente largo. OH God...
Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.
Brandon Williams@stupidartpunk.bsky.social · 6mo agoI keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.
I don't understand this industry anymore :(
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 6mo agoBREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned. A shocking end for a well-respected studio.
This is also true for feedback from publishers/bosses. One example I always use: the publisher says "the cars are too slow!", dev checks max speed: 400kmh. Instead of modifying the speed, the dev modifies the camera and the FOV when the speed is bigger. The publisher loves it. Max speed is the same.
K@00orz00orz.bsky.social · 6mo agoRemember: When you playtest a game, never take players’ feedback/suggestions at face value. Figure out what emotion is underneath what they’re telling you, and then figure out what in the game is causing that emotion
Generations are dead I guess - the endless PS5 generation is just starting.
