Rogue Eclipse launches TODAY! Super proud of my friend @mcdoogleh.bsky.social, who has worked so hard to realize this dream. I hope you’ll all take a look, especially if you like space fighter combat that is a loving tribute to the best of the genre, like Wing Commander and Rogue Squadron!

United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 2d agoThe truth is, it IS cruelty. Executives make the mistakes, mismanage projects, make bad direction calls, and who gets laid off? Matt the programmer. Claire the concept artist. Sabrina the QA tester. Mateo the game designer. People who clock in every day to feed their families and make games.

Really want to experiment with this 4D Splat thing on the horizon, it’s basically animatable 3D pixels, - wonder if this could replace polygons in the future.

Any of my Japan 🇯🇵 based friends willing to buy an old game on Mercari for me? I’ll send the money right away of course. The site / seller won’t ship to UK for some reason. Thank you!

You know what it's time for? It's time for me to wreck my notifications all day by reminding everyone about these starter packs I made for game devs who don't use generative AI in ANY capacity. There are three: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ
This moral collapse of art & culture, one pillar at a time, should open the way for artists to establish an industry that does not rely on scorpions helping us cross the river. No professional community will stand unchanged after all this.
