I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

Hi everyone! Weβre hosting an art raffle/fundraiser to help support our friend Lore! Weβre hoping this will offset most of the remaining expenses/help him fulfill his goal! π Raffle entry form link: forms.gle/tTQYQ8ELzqRe...
Final update: My dad passed away about two hours ago. All remaining donations and funds will go towards his cremation and funeral services. I have increased the goal to 4000 due to this. Thank you for all of your help during this painful year.

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. Thereβs like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidΕ style. But thatβs not likely.

So I think everyone understands this already, but this is basically a euphemism for "we're hiring fewer full time employees and more contractors and codev studios because we don't have to pay them as much." I wish I could say this was an isolated case but I'm seeing it p much everywhere.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

It's royalties day! Royalties should be standard practice in any creative field. If you spend your life on something, it should keep taking care of you. Today, we're passing $120,000 in royalties distributed to the artists, writers, and designers of Triangle Agency. I am so proud we get to do this.
I wanna give @hauntedtable.games their flowers. In addition to paying us solid rates, we also get royalties for our work on Triangle Agency. I always forget that those exist because I have no object permanence, but whenever I get the email about it itβs a reminder of what a rarity that is.

nothing funny about dysphoria. he needs gender affirming care. this current administration doesn't have the will or ability to care for our most marginalized citizens. when im in charge, people like Sonic will be able to get the therapeutic and medical care they need after i blast them with my beam
this is the funniest thing i've seen all day

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.
Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.
