An important update from Compulsion Games.

Awful news. My sympathies with all the good folks at xbox and those affected by the shockwaves that follow. The horrorshow continues...

I wrote a short film about a legendary ex-underground tournament fighter. It’s called LEAVING JACKSON COLORADO and is directed by @brandxjon.bsky.social. It’s premiering on his YouTube channel TheBXI on June 17th. Would love it if you all checked it out, and helped us spread the word!

if you're a game dev outraged at how blithely the NYT is producing misinformation about the AI and video games, wait til you hear about their coverage of Palestine

Uh-huh. Even if this eternal "soon" finally delivers rather than be a neverending threat... It's been possible to make these worlds with procedural generation for years now. It's nothing new, nor is it answering the question "ok but does anyone wants to play endless content with no intentionality"

Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney believes small teams will soon be able to use AI prompts to make video games on the scale of Nintendo masterpiece The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Blessing everyone's timeline with this Taipei shop doggo. He's got goods if you got pets

Saw Sinners over the weekend and can only join the chorus in recommending seeing it, especially now in cinema where it's an intense experience. The first half especially, with its engrossing performances and incredibly well-paced, detailed worldbuilding is worth the price of admission by itself.

It is an interesting socio-economic system we built where I look at a delusional madman with ambitions to found a nation/become God and can only think "well he's probably doing less harm than most billionaires out there"

Drop a fight scene you love. Jackie Chan vs Kwan Yun and Ron Smoorenburg in Who Am I? A lot driven by nostalgia I don't doubt - I loved this movie as a kid and grew up in Rotterdam. But I still love the mix of martial arts, music and usual Jackie Chan physical comedy youtu.be/L0FWMk79ELo?...

Drop a fight scene you love. Brandon Lee vs. Al Leong in Rapid Fire. The best 1on1 fight scene for both of them imho. Lee mixing his Jackie Chan fandom with his father’s style. Leong finally getting to show what he can do. This one is special for a lot of reasons. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk7E...

Working through string revisions with one of my narrative designers today reminded me of a foundational truth here - you have to understand the meaning, intent behind your writing choices, to have purpose in writing. LLMs by definition can only produce facsimiles, but never understand why.

I went to a couple of genAI talks at GDC and came away feeling very secure in my job. The amount of labor that goes into "co-creating" stories with AI simply isn't worth the effort.

The sheer excitement over Gigi is delightful. Always a joy to see people loving these moments.

I would not necessarily have guessed a side story involving adult baby play, diapers and shaved ice would end up with me bawling my eyes out at a beautifully renditioned emotional crescendo, but that is the magic of Like a Dragon...

Good writeup here on the unsustainable ceiling-capped graphics arms race of our industry (until the eye-rolling "AI will fix it". Rofl. Lmao) www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/a...

The gaming industry spent billions pursuing the idea that customers wanted realistic graphics. Did executives misread the market?

As is so often the case with anything AI, the claims outpaces the actual. What they built is an overly expensive way to solve an already solved issue (procgen) for a question no one asked (greyboxing is a better solution for rapid prototyping). And even with choices editing the cracks show...

I have such a soft spot for Avalanche's Mad Max game. Mad Max is formative and when you hit a convoy in this game- it just beautifully hits the Mad Max vibe. A steal at 2 bucks. store.steampowered.com/app/234140/M...

The amount of "Seahawks have never played a normal game" in this one. We're so back 😎

Sometimes you just run into a tree and you know it would have many interesting tales to tell.
