Så opp igjen den nyeste Kingdom Hearts 4-traileren fra juni, og synes det er veldig gøy at 1% av fanbasen har reagert med «OMG DET ER SIGURD!!» og 99% med «hvem faen er Sigurd». Never change, Kingdom Hearts. <3

The reality is good publishers do NOT want to fuck with gen AI. Only a year ago gen AI clauses were common but not guaranteed. Now, they are boilerplate. If you use gen AI in your game, a good publisher will not want to work with you. If you hear otherwise, someone if trying to sell you something.

What if I told you that all of the Publishing Agreements I have reviewed in the last 6 months (several dozen) included a no gen AI provision, wherein the use of gen AI in development is a material breach, but companies like Epic and EA are still trying to convince us the industry is cool with it

He'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...

This was the best part about the last year of Bungie, through multiple layoff cycles it was a daily battle between survivor’s guilt and waiting for the other shoe to drop I would reiterate people will not make a good video game under these conditions but that assumes any of these ghouls care

I want to re-emphasize one part of this Xbox story: Half of the 3,200 cuts are happening today and half are happening in the next 12 months. In other words, even people who survived today's layoffs will have to spend the coming year wondering if they're going to be next.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

Also, excellent work by @gameinformer.com here. I feel for my colleague being put in a tough spot here, but that's the consequences of corporate using AI. This sort of informed and confronting type of questioning on topics like this is exactly what the press should be doing.

Game Informer@gameinformer.com · 2mo ago

We asked the Crystal Dynamics team about its use of generative AI in developing Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis. Here’s what Jeff Adams, experience director on the game, had to say.

Mange blink-and-you'll-miss-it-mikrotrailere på Ikke-E3 i år, men som en med varme følelser for JRPGenes storhetstid er det gøy å se livstegn fra Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Persona 4 og 6, Kingdom Hearts IV, Deltarune og Xenoblade med under en ukes mellomrom. Kommer til å spise godt framover!

Jacob Geller@jacobgeller.com · 2mo ago

Not about anything in specific but I think we gotta be really careful about not conflating the concept of "enshittification" with the impulse to assume that everything was always better during your adolescence

Gjør comeback i Subnautica om drøye 20 minutter, en kilometer nede i dypet, skikkelig rusten og omringet av eldritch horror-skapninger. Hopp gjerne innom (men ikke si bø) på twitch.tv.levelupnor
