here with you

i think the games industry should have studios that exist

While I'm legitimately excited to play the OoT remake I have started to exclusively refer to the game as "wet link"

Should I go* to GDC this year? *be around in SF the week of but not actually get a pass lol

First film industry Battle Pass has finally arrived

"why can you not just enjoy AI art?"

the "adapt or die" people failed to consider the secret third option of forming a neoluddite community where I'm selling my latest video game on usb sticks in a little lemonade stand

"AI lets you focus on the higher level ideas!!" because we all grew up dreaming of becoming managers and CEOs we all know the real artists at the very highest level are the shareholders, famously full of amazing ideas

The outlines are really doing a lot of the work for Reason & Rhyme’s look

Will Sega ever work with the Sonic Mania developers again? According to both Sonic Team and Evening Star, it's not off the table. "There's definitely a desire," Iizuka told us. gameinformer.com/interview/20...

Cannot express enough the speed at which I would turn the game off, put down the controller and immediately sell the console.

Just got a Switch 2 and got Dankey Kang and Orbitals as my first games 👀 Figured as we enter winter my inner gamer might resurface

picoCAD 2 is a tiny modeler for tiny models * build low poly models * texture with built in pixel art editor * animate! Have you already tried it?

apparently before they did this they threatened the team as well?? the fuck??

natural and artificial flavors hate to see me comin

i like typing my little code. i like thinking about it and solving little problems to solve bigger problems. if it is ever the case where my only options for software engineering are to become an AI code-review churner i'll probably just go work at a bike shop.

Years ago I was at the space museum in White Sands, NM, gazing up at a Saturn V rocket engine. Another visitor next to me turned out to be an engineer from JPL. He explained they were studying old rockets to try to reverse engineer how they actually worked. Because the blueprints had been lost.

News time! 🚨 On August 9th our Steam version will transform to become BIG HOPS TOGETHER. - Play the full adventure ONLINE with 8 players - Pick up and throw your friends - Tongue swing from other players - Steal items from each other's backpacks - Story and collection progress is shared

AI companies are trying to create nozick's experience machine and a frighteningly large number of people seem to think this is an unambiguous good

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I think it's fine for games not to really have economies

Played in the Peoria Regional and Sunday Treasure Cup this weekend for One Piece. Didn’t do great in the main event but got top 64 in the Treasure Cup running Sengoku! Managed to come away with a Nami 🎉

the year is 2027 you wake up and see the latest releases on poob. a live action adaptation of undertale but the script was written by andy weir and papyrus is played by ryan reynolds

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:

My other takeaway is that I might finally actually like coffee but I’m not ready to admit or entertain this thought yet

My takeaway from going to Toronto last weekend is realizing it felt like if Chicago had NYC zoning laws

lol Nvidia basically pushed Capcom in front of a bus to sell their AI resolution upslopper

This has been the reason I’ve been so burnt out on making games in recent years. The mantra I go by now when it comes to work is Process over Output. You will not cross the finish line unscathed if this goes unaddressed

Love when you put your laptop to sleep and THEN the fans turn on. We've really done a great job with computers.

So I haven’t talked much about work stuff in a while but 2026 is kicking off with some big changes: I’m hanging up my freelancing towel and joining the team at Evening Star! 💫

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question: Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends. Make. Friends.

glad to hear the kids are sick of renting everything in their lives buy a PSP. buy a Game Boy. A Walkman. collect the UMDs, tapes, carts, or hack the shit out of it and download roms. add a backlight. no one owns it but you. it can play movies, it can play MP3s. shit used to be functional

Officially started on this 😤 aiming to have the basic setup to share in the next week or two!

Been having a lot of fun making simple custom FMOD DSP effects. I think it's all finally starting to click- considering making a little open source fmod plugin page as I learn more

Now watching:

Long time no see! I’ll be open for contract work again mid-december, so if you’ve got dramatic environments that need painting or pitch decks that need art or really any old (visual) thing I could be YOUR gal 🫵 ameliaherman.artstation.com

Now for the bittersweet part of any launch day as a freelance worker, with the game out, I'm out looking for work again. So, need a UI/gameplay programmer, a top-notch senior/lead QA Analyst, a technical or educational game designer? I'm open to freelance and full-time positions, hit me up! Please!

I've been making video games in some form for 20 years, so I wrote an article about my process - and why I don't use an engine. noelberry.ca/posts/making...
