"industry plant" has gotta be a new high in dumbass gamer shit. yeah man they made a video game to sell to people. you nailed it

Mixtape is 100% hand keyed animation created by myself and my small team of animators (4 including me). I'm VERY proud of what we were able to accomplish.

While developing Artful Escape, our 3D artist Mikey, made an oven asset. It was a nice oven - the work of a true pro. He even put the knobs on. And that’s who we are at Beethoven & Dinosaur. We put the knobs on. Mixtape is almost complete, we’re just putting the knobs on. See you in 2026.

Did anyone see that post using the rarmango rigs, where it's like a town hall meeting, and the characters are saying unhinged stuff??? I saw it this morning but i forgot to save it and it was INCREDIBLE

today sag-aftra filed an unfair labor practice against an epic games subsidiary behind AI vader because it failed to bargain appropriately with the union. more power to them, but this whole endeavor is rotten to the core, an affront to the legacy of an actor who can no longer advocate for himself

Fortnite's AI Darth Vader has, predictably, been a comedy of errors aftermath.site/fortnite-ai-...

I tried out Jeffrey's new animation machine. And let me tell you, it went beautifully. NO NOTES. Asked for a "stand to sit at a table" and got this really production ready animation. Can't wait to put it in my GAME or TV SHOW, and show my director. Investors must be THRILLED this cost $10million.

Holy shit they put mobile game monetization in their slop machine and had the balls to call them "spins". Up next, try "PULL" a legendary tier animation from our plagiarism machine!

If you continue to remove artists from the art, remove people from creating, cut, trim, optimise... You're left with a board room and shareholders watching a flip book of stale, rehashed, ultimately boring "content" that no one will have any interest in.

The way they pontificate at these conferences is genuinely sickening. Shrieking about finally making creativity accessible whilst simultaneously gutting their creative workforce. It's ghoulish how out in the open they are about this stuff. ILM showing it TED. AI Darth Vader in Fortnite.

I still don't see it. It just reeks of late stage capitalism cost cutting. This delusion of believing that you can simply continue to scale while cutting cost is what beats at the decrepit empty hearts of all these moronic CEO's... And it's simply false.

After having watched over 600 episodes of One Piece, I can say with unwavering confidence... The live action series is a really REALLY bad idea. The VFX task for even just the first three arcs is monumental, even if you edit the series down.

Quickly now! Go support this kickstarter for Malys. I WISH TO PLAY WITH THE DEMONS

Time to UNLEASH HELL because our Malys Kickstarter is OFFICIALLY LIVE! 🔥 Follow the link to join the hunt and and help our hellish roguelite deckbuilder reach its full infernal potential! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/summerfallstudios/malys-exorcise-demons-on-your-hunt-for-an-ancient-evil

Expedition 33 is incredible. The balance, the pace, the art. It manages to ride this insanely thin line where you play the most powerful weapon and the weakest tree frog. Constantly aware of your potential, always reminded of your inadequacy.

Remember, stock market gains are privatised, and stock market losses are socialised. If you're hoping to capitalise on this, just know that all the smart money has already left the market. And now is the time for dumb money to try and catch the knife as it falls.

Make no mistake, this will be another transfer of wealth to the top end of town. When bread is $44 and eggs are $78... Remember who put you here. There are very few crumbs left under the table. And soon, the people will get hungry.
