Reading up on the UE6 announcement and this line sickens me: "for UE6, we see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need." #gamedev #UnrealEngine
Does anyone remember how for 10+ years videogame character faces looked weird because mathematically rendered lighting on eyelids and mouth edges was bizarre and devs refused to make artistic adjustments to the result?

Youtube I closed that video because I didn't want to watch it, not because i was hoping to see a smaller version of it still playing in the corner of my screen. If you told me everything google did was designed around how to piss me off, I would believe it.
Looking for gifts for young relatives this season. If I find one more gift labeled “artsy”, I’m gonna stab a motherfucker with a palette knife.

Microsoft is hiking GamePass prices by exploiting the subjective myth of inflation perpetuated by the wealthy class. Everyone can determine the amount of OUR demand vs. the supply provided by Microsoft. Let corporate overlords know they have overestimated demand by cancelling your subscription.
Started playing Fashion Police. Really digging the retro aesthetic with modern sensibilities and the subversion of violent FPS. It feels like a really polished mod, and I mean that in the best way possible. #FashionPolicegame
One of the best parts of Alien : Earth is the lack of transparent computer displays in the production design. FFS its about time. How many years since Minority Report did we have to suffer the fantasy of a completely impractical UX? Star Wars got it right in 1977. Holograms for drama only.
I used to get annoyed that the most popular mods for Star Wars games were fucking Zelda mods. Actually, it still pisses me off. #StarWars #videogames #Nintendo

Retrospective of my Gotham Knights #leveldesign! In Arkham, I prototyped a CSI lab puzzle where players discover the creation of Man-Bats. The fantasy of "world's greatest detective"- Before the final "2D" system, spline cameras zoomed into narrative puzzles. #gamedev #UnrealEngine #Batman
Retrospective of my Gotham Knights #leveldesign! Gotham University began the main story, also serving as a tutorial level. For a grounded sense of place, layout was re-imagined as looped circular paths connecting 3 campus buildings to a central plaza. Commentary! 🔊 #gamedev #UnrealEngine #Batman
