Good. Right now this only applies to social media, but it's only a matter of time before it applies to products as well. That would mean that any game studio planning to sell in the EU - i.e all of them - would need to disclose their Gen AI use or risk some hefty fines. Bring it on.

Miguel is one of the best designers in the business (and a personal hero of mine), and it was a privilege to write about his approach towards UI and branding in such detail. There's so much gold in this piece!

I was on holiday and missed this, but I'm thrilled to share I'll be featured in @eddcoates.bsky.social's amazing new book - The Game UI Bible! Go preorder your copy now cause this is gonna be a good one 👌

LinkedIn added an "AI slop" button. The U-Turn is happening, expect to see a lot more of this from other tech companies.

Inside the Game UI Bible you'll read perspectives from some of the finest UI/UX designers across the industry, coupled with essays on topics ranging from Nintendo’s Switch branding to the relationship between game UI and meme culture 🎮🔗⤵️

Chatting to @eddcoates.bsky.social about the Game UI Bible has taught us a lot 🧠 Explore the deep history of the field, as well as some of the incredible innovations we’ve seen over the years across UI/UX Design 🔗👇

"I can comfortably say this is the most unashamedly comprehensive guide to game UI that has ever existed." But don't just take @eddcoates.bsky.social' word for it! Have a look for yourself at the Game UI bible to learn about the underexplored world of UI/UX Design 🔗👇

The response to this has completely blown me away. Thank you!!! Writing this book has been a dream come true for me, not to mention a MARATHON. Four years!! It all feels very unreal and I’m still waiting for it all to sink in. I did it!! I'm an author!! My book exists!!! 😭

This is probably the biggest moment of my life 😭 After 4 years, the Game UI Bible has finally launched for all the world to see. A 400+ page tome of Game UI/UX goodness, celebrating all the weird and wonderful intricacies of this field. I'm SO proud of this book, and for you all to read it!

There's been a lot of very good guesses for our next upcoming project, and you won't have to wait too much longer to see it for yourselves! Tomorrow at 6pm BST...U won't be dIsappointed!🎨

It's Wednesday at Develop! Come and say hello if you spot me, and grab some free Game UI Database merch! I'll be around the expo hall, at the UI/UX meet, Spill the tea with OMG, and the GI.biz party tonight! Or just send a DM 🙌

Hello Brighton! I'll be at Develop all week. Come say hello if you want to talk about UI/UX things, the Game UI Database (free merch ahoy!), or if you're interested in hiring me for a future project. Or MAYBE even my composition work? I should probably be talking about that more 👀

Epic. Spaceflight. Action. Roguelike. This is Rogue Eclipse, launching NEXT MONTH ON AUGUST 7th! 🕹 Arcade Flight Controls 💥 Merciless Armadas to Blast Through 👾 Epic Boss Fights to Overcome 🚀 A Story that unfolds over roguelike campaign Wishlist Here! bit.ly/4bRLumD #gaming #indiegames #gamedev

Some Persona 4 Revival UI made it into this week's trailers. And yes, it slaps.

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but the games industry needs far fewer (i.e zero) paid mentorship schemes, and more resources on how to transition into other sectors.

Mission accomplished on my first international talk!! Beautiful venue, wonderful crowd. This was probably the most relaxed I've ever felt on stage, I even got them to give a shout-out to my boyfriend in the audience 😅

First day in Malaga!! I’m speaking at Guadalindie tomorrow, so we decided to turn the trip into a week-long holiday 🌴

I love hearing about how people are using the Game UI Database in interesting ways! :D (Also glad this bonus feature didn't go unnoticed!)

Music playlist today involves going on @eddcoates.bsky.social ui database, poking around to find a game with a rad looking ui, and hoping that game has a great soundtrack hahaha. You'd be amazed at how consistent the results are

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

I am so fucking sick of my website getting scraped. Millions of requests per minute, somehow designed to bypass all my security rules, choking the site until it completely stops loading. If I were paying for bandwidth, it would cost me a fortune. How is this legal?

Announcing: Hidden Folks 2 - New themes and areas. - Improved graphical quality. - Second (not text!) clue. - Lots of new mouth sounds. - Various quality-of-life improvements. - Made in #godot. Get an email when it releases: hiddenfolks.com Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4480060

So freaking proud of the Piece By Piece team - we're now in an official bundle with @ustwogames.co.uk!! How cool is that!? As ever, I'm so thankful that I got to work on such a beautiful game, let alone as its composer. This project really has been the gift that keeps on giving!

I added an anti-AI badge to the Game UI Database! Every one of the 72,684 (and counting!) screenshots on the site has been painstakingly tagged BY HAND with no AI assistance. If you're a creative, consider adding a similar disclaimer to your work to get the credit you deserve. www.gameuidatabase.com

Saturday's talk at MCM Comic Con/EGX went fantastically well! It's always really cool looking back on older talks and seeing how much more confident I am now on stage. Feeling very proud ☺️

My favorite go-to is gameuidatabase.com by @eddcoates.bsky.social, it's a database with many UI designs from all over gaming. Neatly organized, and so much inspiration!

Game UI Database

The ultimate tool for Game UI and Interface designers. Explore over 1,300 games and 55,000 UI screenshots. Browse and filter by category, animation, colour, material, layout, game genre, and more.

I'm speaking at EGX tomorrow, May 23rd, at 2:30pm! Join me at the Careers Fair stage, where I'll be talking about the fundamentals of Game UI/UX, as well as the importance of branding, self-promotion and social media when building a career in games. (Also come get some free Game UI Database merch!)

Update: They posted an apology, promising to learn from their mistakes. ...it was entirely generated by AI.

A tale in three parts. When will they learn?

Just want to shout out to Game UI Database - it's a resource I use frequently to find UI/UX references for games. Tonight I needed to look a screen up on my phone for someone, and of course the site's filters work beautifully on mobile. Thank you @eddcoates.bsky.social 🙏 www.gameuidatabase.com

Dead As Disco is FANTASTIC, and I just found out you can add your own music tracks. So, naturally...
