I still think a lot of folks are underestimating how far the empire can go to get what they want... It started last night with the other side not recognizing the election results, tomorrow was a win, but it definitely wasn't THE win.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

People who love games really do hate those who make them

I love being reminded that the audience really doesn’t give a shit about the developers. Like, forget that one of the most influential studios in our industry was just executed by its publisher, just make sure the product continues on the assembly lines!

I probably need to post here more, so here's the wip of different parry animations (soon to be added in engine)

Did you guys notice that between our three main chars we DVD and Trigger made that clear in the second season with the graphic with the name of the show bumpin on the corners of the screen?

The first edition of Roll For Innovation, my bi-weekly(ish) newsletter is now available! Session Zero provides a grounding and tried to explain the why of the thing. I'd love if you gave it a read and maybe a subscribe <3 roll4innovation.ghost.io/session-zero/

roll4innovation.ghost.ioSession ZeroWelcome to Roll For Innovation, a new regular-ish email newsletter from me, Luke Dicken. I’ve been working in and around AI for games for almost twenty years now, and spent closer to thirty obsessing...

This! It's also the same for people who couldn't give a rats ass if something is AI generated or not.

Nathan Grayson@nathangrayson.bsky.social

there's a whole world out there of normal people who don't pay attention to game reviewers or anti-woke sloptubers, and I wish them nothing but the best

Ok, so we dropped the ball with this one 😅 ps5 players, the trophy id's ARE wrong. BUT the game does allow you to complete both trophies, the platinum IS unlockable. More info in our blog or you can ask your questions here! #gamedev #ps5 #NeoSprint #Atari #indiegame

... AI?

How Star Wars: Galactic Racer kept the core team small and sustainable through distributed development. "When you shrink, there's a personal impact to people, but you also lose an incredible amount of knowledge, which I think is probably way more expensive to retrieve" https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

How is the bioware thing a surprise? It's the biggest leveraged acquisition of all time.. They only care about the ips, they will cut cut cut cut cut EVERYWHERE they can.

Gonna remember to put you on the next one, in all fairness you should be in our persona 5 striker special edition credits

This is wild, my name's in the credits for Silent Hill: Townfall!?! I know a lot of studios use the Game UI Database, but I think this is the first time anyone's actually put me in the credits because of it 😭 I'm so touched by this!!

Hello! I'm looking to speak to: 1. Devs involved in the decompilation scene who can speak to how the community has been affected by AI. 2. Devs who have or suspect they have had their game copied by AI vibe coders. If either of those is you, contact me at rick@ricklane.co.uk. Shares appreciated!

That's the biggest problem, productivity wasn't meant for improving the products, it was meant to increase their profits Am guessing a lot of Americans are both mad because of the layoffs but happy because their 401ks /retirement funds are soaring which is a really fucked up situation

Ben Britten@benbritten.bsky.social

So? We are what? Six or twelve months into every single enterprise and web engineer producing at a minimum of 10x; more like 100x if most of them are to be believed. But somehow not a single piece of software has gotten any better? Most has gotten worse. Where is all this productivity going then?

At long last, we have created a way for you to take away Nikki's free will, from the classic horror movie "don't take away Nikki's free will"

Nikki from OBSESSION joins FORTNITE tomorrow. You wished for this...

Escape from New York, the glider scene. It's '81, a year before Tron revolutionised CG and Carpenter has 1/3 of Tron's budget...so how did he pull off an absurdly sophisticated wireframe simulation?! It's actually a cardboard city painted matte black, lined with reflective tape and lit with UV.

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase@amythunderjam.bsky.social

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Great, our latest update for switch 2 is presenting a big g Issue with the keycard because... No one knows why it's downloading a 86mb file instead of the actual 6gb game Anyone, pls halp

Fuck Twitter, you won't see me there ever again

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Sadly the days of open development are gone. If you develop your game publicly you are just handing it over to the scrapers. The interesting part here is, let's see publishers asking you to take the risk of "building" wishlists.

Sos "Buy Lazy Kickers" Sosowski@sosowski.bsky.social

How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

Again, if AI could generate masterpieces, we'd be swimming in them, if tiktok could generate viral videos on its own we'd be drowning in them... A hammer is still a hammer

For next year's GDCA's there is a category for "Best Gaming Tech" There is still a "best technology" award, which goes to a game, but "Best Gaming Tech" can go to any technology So please submit your tech! Your plugins! Your tools! Your work! Submit before November 1st: gamechoiceawards.com

THIS the whole thing with decompiling games is just going to make people not want to make games... Because what's the point?

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

the "agentic" vision of computing is a spam world where everyone has their own personal army of spam bots working 24/7 on their behalf choking everything with spam to try and get one over on the next guy. and that's just not something that can really... exist, long term?

:(

Devastating news today. Richard “Levelord” Gray was such a great guy. Like many of our friends, I wish I could have hung out with him again. He was full of life, a gentle soul, and an excellent level designer. He was called “Levelord” for a reason.

It's what confuses me, they hate AI but also love it? Make up your minds gamers

Chet Faliszek@chetsucks.com

TIL I am old and not with it. Repackaging a game with all the code and content is not piracy... if AI does it... if AI does it, it is an act of rebellion... And some old dude will then start talking about clean rooms and ignore the sites just straight up offering pirated content... sigh

Ok, try to run a model, a small one, a 9b qwen model on a smart TV. I'll wait for you to see it "take over". It's bullshit after more bullshit with these fuckers

So... Vibe coders are trying to pass what open source has been doing well for years... As new and innovative when they are doing it worst and shitty? The more this happens, the more it feels like web 3 again "it's the future nothing will ever be the same" The ticker will move a little, that's it
