the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

A note about the TGAs worth remembering as this Future Class story unfolds: it’s a marketing beat, consumer-facing, and voted on by media/influencers. Developers are, by design, not included or considered in the structure. Which feels bad! www.polygon.com/explained/49...
How The Game Awards voting works
It’s the press and fans, not game devs, who vote on The Game Awards

The story an environment tells is as important as the dialogue you hear. That’s why concepting is such an important part of our design process. #indiedev #indiegame

In about 2 weeks, this game dev is going to celebrate their 39th birthday while stressing out about being unemployed for more than 6 months. I don't expect much for a birthday, but if you have the opportunity to share my consultancy services with someone else that needs it, that'd be a great gift.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”
