Someone asked me for the Armor Games intro I made back in 2008 and it made me curious if @ArmorGames still uses this... YES THEY DO! Anyway here it is in 4K (or whatever socials compress it to)
This is probably the biggest moment of my life 😭 After 4 years, the Game UI Bible has finally launched for all the world to see. A 400+ page tome of Game UI/UX goodness, celebrating all the weird and wonderful intricacies of this field. I'm SO proud of this book, and for you all to read it!

My first #PortfolioDay with the carousel! I hope you all are having a great day looking at all the pretty art! I'm Davis 👋 I'm an artist and game dev. So nice to meet you ☺️
I'm playing around with some @kenney.nl train assets in @godotengine.org. Should I make a simple train track sandbox toy/game?
It wasn't long before I realized *exactly* where I can leverage this new-found knowledge. Fired up a quick test in Desmos, and holy shit. 😤☁️ #gamedev #indiedev
Zi@majormcdoom.bsky.social · 2mo agoDuuuuude, you can even combine smooth max and smooth min with negative lambda to get effects like this. Mind blown. I previously would have had to do like 50 extra steps with other expensive operations just to achieve similar results. #gamedev #indiedev
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.
for the best part of this year, I've been speaking to former Maxis developers to put together this: a near-6000 word oral history of Spore 🦠 www.designroom.site/spore-an-ora...

"We're shipping so much more code with AI!" "Good, stable code?" "Oh heavens no. No no no. not at all. We couldn't possibly"
Sue Smith@suesmith.lol · 3mo ago"The AI engineering impact data shows that output is up. It also shows that the work required to ensure that output is safe, correct, and maintainable has not decreased. It has increased substantially." Aye, if only any of us had been saying this from day one 🤡 www.faros.ai/blog/ai-acce...

So we’ve been cooking up some thoughts on Gen AI at @amnesty.org and I’m ecstatic to finally see it out in the world! Our 🗝️ conclusion: standalone gen AI systems, built on unlawful web scraping, constitute mass invasions of privacy by design & should be prohibited www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
oh no, i don't use the ai for <thing that i am paid to do> it's terrible at that. it's great for <thing you are paid to do> though.
Shoutout to the very senior professor in HCI who gave a talk last month about how AI can do qualitative data analysis better than people now.

AI and Games@aiandgames.com · 5mo ago📽️ New on YouTube: 📽️ Having spent over a decade sharing good practice on Game AI, @tommy.aiandgames.com fears for its survival.
