This is probably the best ad I've seen against using generative AI: Mayer, who was an engineer at Google and a chief executive of Yahoo, has rotted her brain so much she can no longer classify her daughter as "empathetic, creative and an animal lover". The slide of competence is incredible.

Why do we keep on doing this? Praising a 'small core team' for a game with 1100+ people in the credits is incredibly misleading. This PR narrative hurts, hides the massive shadow workforce of outsourced developers and testers, and sets impossible standards for actual indie teams.

"Direct your dream game" says Unity Y'all game direction is many things but I can guarantee you that "genre + setting" is not game direction for anyone who has been a game director even just for 5 minutes Which should tell you enough about who made this, and whether you should trust them with this

Vaya maravilla LANTERNS. Una serie de 10.

This is set up for laughs, but it’s actually one of the best demonstrations I’ve seen of how being capable of producing convincing sounding language and understanding meaning are two completely different things. A chatbot does not understand you, it just has automated responses based on your words.

Yo no quiero que el formato físico para videojuegos desaparezca, pero como usuario del formato digital que soy desde hace décadas tampoco creo que la solución pase por desprestigiar lo digital. Steam, GOG o 'Internet Archive' son buenos ejemplos de preservación, ownership y precios baratos.

A todos los del 'team verano': I hate you.

Los publishers/distribuidores/tiendas preocupados ahora por el fin del formato físico en consolas tienen aún una oportunidad de revitalizarlo en PC (donde la fabricación es libre). Sería factible lanzar ediciones físicas en PC (formato usb stick o SD card) sin DRM.

This is the death of Unreal for me. #gamedev

Great interview. Is always lovely to see proprietary engines in such detail, and it always makes me miss working on one of them 🥲 Anyway, once again:

La calidad visual de la serie 'Maul: Shadow Lord' es IMPRESIONANTE. Cada plano y cada fondo te deja con la boca abierta.

Hablar con liberales sobre vivienda es... surrealista. Te dicen: "si topas precios los caseros no ponen sus propiedades en alquiler, no les sale rentable" Pero a la vez te dicen: "si construimos muchísimo, esos mismos caseros bajarán sus precios de forma voluntaria"

It’s like hiking. Of course I could drive or whatever if getting there was the only reason but *the walking is the fucking point*.

What a wonderful movie is 'Project Hail Mary'. It definitely has the same uplifting vibe and kind heart as the book.

Every time I see someone say "indies will save us", I think about all the game dev mutuals I have who have made it very clear the same problems facing AAA funding are impacting indies, too.

I'm shocked that this is news for so many folks...

This message made my day <3

Unless there is an exceptionally good reason for not doing it, art placeholders should always look like placeholders. The goofier, the better. 😁 #Blasphemous

This TikTok filter looks horrifying

Number one mistake in my opinion from many indie game demos I've been playing so far is the amount of lore dumping and dialog just at the start. Let me move around and discover things by myself before locking me down just reading... let me care for the world and people before explaining it!

Aún no ha empezado el STEAM Next Fest y ya tengo un catálogo de demos por probar excesivamente largo. OH God...

I don't understand this industry anymore :(

This is also true for feedback from publishers/bosses. One example I always use: the publisher says "the cars are too slow!", dev checks max speed: 400kmh. Instead of modifying the speed, the dev modifies the camera and the FOV when the speed is bigger. The publisher loves it. Max speed is the same.

Generations are dead I guess - the endless PS5 generation is just starting.

The only 'good' outcome from the RAM shortage and price increase.

Friendly reminder: NO ONE needs AI slop and more AI data centres EVERYBODY needs clean water, affordable energy, and a habitable planet

Call me crazy but maybe instead of selling games at $80 while they are on Game Pass, just release them at $50 and ditch Game Pass at launch. kotaku.com/outer-worlds...

Gog está regalando la trilogía original de Alone in the Dark. Una vez las añadáis en vuestra librería serán vuestros y sin DRM. RT para llegar a más gente y que pueda disfrutar de estos tremendos clasicazos: 👇👇👇👇 www.gog.com/en/game/alon...

¡Último día para opinar sobre este tema! Si os preocupa cómo nos están colando la IAGen por todas partes -incluso cuando dicen que es 'para protegernos'- podéis entrar y decir cuatro cositas (en el hilo citado hay enlaces y ejemplos)

Este Sábado voy a dar una charla sobre narrativa en la #GlobalGameJam BCN@UPC y aunque esté mal que yo lo diga me está quedando un contenido la mar de útil e interesante. #gamedev #narrative

Ale, pues ya he votado en los Premios Devugo 2025. www.devuego.es/premios-devu... Increíble la labor que hacen, un año más, desde @devuego.es mantenido la BBDD más importante de la industria de videojuegos español y celebrando este pequeño reconocimiento al talento nacional.

Fantástico ejercicio de autocrítica y transparencia de Anaïs. Y a pesar de los números lanzar un juego como ese es ya un pequeño milagro del que estar orgullosa, así que congrats!!! 👏 Sobretodo para que sirva de aprendizaje a más gente: - Desarrollos cortos!!!!!!!!!! #gamedev #indiegame

Totally agree!!! The photo realistic approach is not doing any good to reinforce the humor and silliness this franchise is known for.

6 game cancellations will mean many jobs lost in an already horrific market. Ubisoft cancelling 3 new IPs is especially heartbreaking: people are literally clamoring for something new instead of sequels on sequels. The workers at Ubisoft deserve better than this.

This is a huge crisis that we must do our part on by rejecting generative AI. The more it infiltrates our systems, the more fucked we are over time.

@yovantichri.st ¿Sería posible hacer el desplegable más grande? lo de mostrar solo 3 lineas se hace algo incómodo con listas tan extensas, demasiado scrolling.

Me parece súper curioso el apartado de categorías más votadas en los premios @devuego.es 2025. www.devuego.es/premios-devu... Viendo esos stats mi lectura al respecto es que la mayoría de gente que vota no es del entorno de desarrollo profesional, si no del fandom o del consumo de videojuegos.
