It was hard enough losing Dolly yesterday. ☹️ And now, we cry a sea of black tears for our very own Doviculus: The irreplaceable Tim Curry.  May these beloved legends rest well, as we carry their spirit forward~   🩷🖤

⚠️If you're a thinky puzzle gamedev, you can apply for a grant of $15,000 to work on your game. You just need to fill out a very straightforward form. There are no strings attached. This isn't a loan or a publishing deal. You could even make a tiny prototype this week and apply with it.

Saber PR responded to my post by saying that the story was written by people and no writers were replaced, buuuuut also that the game uses AI generated text and voices. C’mon man lmao

Saber Interactive denies replacing writer with ChatGPT on its new driving game, but says it will use AI for dialog 'as the number of passengers in the game is infinite'

Despite the admission, there's currently no AI disclosure on the Rideshare "Stimulator" Steam page.

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

As of this morning, the itch bundle officially broke 100k. This is a lifeline to our fellow workers and proof that solidarity extends beyond borders, both literal and figurative. Never let anyone tell you that things cannot change.

United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 4w ago

You’ve helped us raise over 80k for laid off gamedevs in need so far, and we still have plenty of time left in the bundle’s drive. Everyone who organized this effort was doing so on their own time for the benefit of others. If these companies wanted to, they would. They don’t. We do. Join us. ✊

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

News time! 🚨 On August 9th our Steam version will transform to become BIG HOPS TOGETHER. - Play the full adventure ONLINE with 8 players - Pick up and throw your friends - Tongue swing from other players - Steal items from each other's backpacks - Story and collection progress is shared

The reason companies like Google are risking their entire brand to do things like AI generated imagery in Google Earth is because these companies are so thoroughly brain poisoned to capitalism and infinite growth that they have instituted mandates to insert AI *everywhere* regardless of merit.

Nine hours after going live, the itch bundle benefiting our Game Worker Hardship Fund has already raised over $13k! Thank you so much to those who have already purchased. And for those who might be waiting for payday, you’ve still got about two weeks left! Thank you so much 🙏

Digitisation is great, but whenever I see people being like “yeah digitise everything, then you don’t need the originals!!” I despair. Even if you’re not interested in material culture, how *wildly* arrogant to think outcomes of digitisation are not as (if not more) vulnerable to decay and loss.

Any cool international devs (preferably with a game released in the last year or so) interested in visiting Melbourne this year (for the small price of doing a short talk??)

Oh hey, yep, basically same conclusions we came to. Like even if you're willing to write off the ethical stuff, there's a bunch of super boring business reasons to not go anywhere near it. Including "it appears to erode your abilities even if you're aware of that risk going in." That's uh. Um. No.

Daniel Fedor@dcfedor.bsky.social · last mo.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12
