Crash and Spyro will be leaving the Fortnite shop on Friday. Be sure to grab them while you still can!

What's that, a new trailer for the game that previously stole all my work? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9myc... Ah, as promised, they've done it again. Great... can't wait for them to have the balls to put this on the storefronts again and have to harass each platform to take it all down...

Lotzo is now gone from the Microsoft Store, so it's dead for now... at least until they reupload the game as Nocto using model swaps for the main duo they grabbed from sketchfab (this isn't conjecture btw, I was given a link that shows the exact models they fed to ai for the new key "art")

This AI trash pile is out now btw. For those unaware, this "developer" wholesale ripped and reskinned Cyreide's game Zera: Myths Awakened and are now profiting off it on Steam. Since the store page is sadly still up, please leave a negative review and help shun this slop back to the nether.

and there's a steam page in waiting store.steampowered.com/app/4440400/...

In terms of games industry jobs, there's been an increase in the relative share of roles centred on engineering, analytics, production, and marketing – but QA, game design, writing, and recruiting have seen a decline https://bit.ly/4gDFdP6

been working on this on and off when i get bored of my other project and its been picking up steam this week, i kinda cracked how to approach the tilemapping and kept going forward, not much to do yet but its looking nice #godot #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Project x Zone 3. Because I can’t think of anything else. Then again, anything can happen.

Are we really going to pretend to not see that some of the teams delivering the most profitable games have been hit by layoffs regardless?

For most of the publicly traded companies with the most games job layoffs, their gross profit year over year has been increasing every year. The overall trend among most public companies doing layoffs is continued growth. This does not show a revenue consolidation causing the wider layoff trends.

GamesIndustry.biz@gibiz.bsky.social · 3d ago

Why are there so many layoffs when games industry revenue is growing overall? One reason, says Amir Satvat, is that growth is confined to a decreasing number of titles. "You have 50, 60% of the revenue being distributed to just the top 20 games" https://bit.ly/4gDFdP6

Happy #SpyroCommunityDay! This year, I decided to do something a bit unconventional: Make a small, two-level fangame in #GameMaker. Had to wing it in places towards the end of development, so hopefully nothing’s broken. Check it out here: graystripe2000.itch.io/spyros-flight

I’ve been playing the new Onimusha and it is simply wonderful. Capcom is on a hell of a roll and while this is a different flavor to the original, it’s a great evolution of the series. Plus Musashi is just a great protagonist. youtu.be/UDQ51_dz0zA?...

Although Nintendo already secured enough memory-related components for this fiscal year and held 618B JPY (~3.86B USD) of inventories as of 03-31, retaining their product pricing next year is going to be tough. (Sources in alt text) 2/

A smartphone insider Weibo stated that the cost of 12GB memory and 256GB storage for phones increased 1700 RMB (~253 USD) in a year to 2200 RMB (~327 USD). This is significant because Switch 2 uses the same mobile components (12GB LPDDR5X and 256GB UFS). It’s 65% of the Switch 2 new MSRP ($500)! 1/

So the people launching a new Twitter under the name Twitter launched their thing so I signed up. Turns out they have an AI scanning tweets for "truth" and it currently has no idea what it's doing. Posted something innocuous about Star Wars Zero Company and it essentially blocked it from all feeds.
