Finished this new CG (and its variations) of Noah and his special "friend" Aiko, for my #visualnovel game #HueandMe! Took a while to make sure this looks as heartwarming as I intended! Funny how I did CG of Aiko first before finishing her sprite. 😅 #vndev #renpy #otome
This is why we say the species is newly DESCRIBED, rather than newly DISCOVERED. It has been catalogued, given a scientific name, and sorted into position on the "tree of life".
Alex Wild@alexwild.bsky.social · yesterdayI would like to point out that the local people in Bolivia were already familiar with the new cat species, traditionally calling it "Tilcayo", a name honored by the scientists who carried it over into the formal scientific name Leopardus tilcayo.

imagine if movie reviewers had 30 minutes to watch a film and another 30 to write their review that's about what reviewing games can feel like at times
lex luddy needs a nap@lexluddy.xyz · 16h agoRegarding Resonant's and other games' review period right now. It continues to be unfair to devs to take a game that they spent 7yrs crafting, that takes 30-50hrs to experience, with so much going, only to give reviewers 7/8 days to roll credits and form a cohesive bit of analysis and criticism.
People have asked if I have kofi, I'm doing okay financially but if you REALLY want to throw $ at me, please consider pre-ordering the folk-horror TTRPG I made with @sinisterbeard.bsky.social . We put a TON of work (human work!) into it and would love for it to do well www.blightshollow.com

In the meantime, the billionaires and techbros pushing AI on everything you do are doing their very best so their kids and family stay away from it, since they know how gross and brain damaging it is to integrate it in your life.
Generative AI relies on people's lack of empathy to thrive, as long as it not your ass in the line, it's okay, right? Artists can adapt, musicians, writers, actors and voice actors can all adapt, but god forbid if it starts threatening to replace you.
Artists have been saying this for years now, it's astonishing how some people do not understand. I guess it's because they don't have their jobs and livelihood threatened by it (YET).
Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 19h agoThis is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.
cynical take - 1mil at 70USD is 70 mil. chop off 30% for platform fees, now we're 49mil. Assume the publisher is 100% recoup, that's 9 mil. Then the split after... let's be GENEROUS and say 50/50. Final income for 1mil sales is: * $4.5mil for studio * $44.5mil for pub * $21mil for platform holders
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 16h agoNEW: The hit RPG Blood of Dawnwalker cost $40 million to make — just a fraction of today’s AAA games. It’s already sold more than 1 million copies. I spoke to the Polish studio Rebel Wolves about their development journey: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
it's funny but also a reminder that the fundamental premise here is that a Black man can't be objective when talking about race while a white man can because Black people do identity politics and white people do facts and this my friends is what I have named "white empiricism"
Elon Green@elongreen.bsky.social · 14h agoyes, Rod Dreher, I too am infuriated that Jamelle Bouie is Black.

this is all a bit heady but I post this because I want to combat the doomerism I keep seeing. AI is not built for actual use, it's an experiment that opportunistic tech bros sold as a way to circumvent paying employees. simply by being used as designed it destroys itself. does this make sense?
yknow how I always say that AI is always going to collapse in on itself without new material to steal and train on? just by using it, its users train the AI. If there's no new material coming in, that training gets more and more insular and it all falls apart: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data - Nature
Analysis shows that indiscriminately training generative artificial intelligence on real and generated content, usually done by scraping data from the Internet, can lead to a collapse in th...

Hannah is 100% correct here. A lot of people in the industry don't even fully know what marketing IS, and thats fine, its not your discipline, but its not an afterthought you can start once you're done building the game. You can start as early as pre-production!
Hannah Flynn 🐀@itshannahflynn.bsky.social · 22h agoIt is my humble duty to explain: The parts of marketing that are super visible, like ARGs, flashy stands at Gamescom, or deluxe boxes of merch sent to creators are lovely. but they're the tip of the iceberg of what marketing work is, and they don't do anything without the foundations:

"Your brains stop developing at age 25" was a press misrepresentation of a study. They wanted to see if brains continued to develop after adolescence, so the study was capped at age 25. A later study with a wider subject pool showed that brains are ALWAYS developing our whole lives.
thene@thene.bsky.social · 3d agothis is why it's my pet peeve fake science fact. It's absolute bs! nothing happens to brains at age 25, they do not "fully mature". you will notice that many societies have an age of majority or coming-of-age or whatever and none of them have ever chosen mid-20s.
