‘Bye Bye Bunny: A Looney Tunes Musical’ was confirmed to be Eric Bauza’s final project during his lifetime. Before Bauza’s passing, the film was put back into pre-production after being previously shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery.

Reading this Famitsu interview Uchikoshi did and it seems that the reason the Crash Keys game was canceled was because *Uchikoshi* wanted to use AI, not the publisher. This snippet is driving me nuts. Makes all the posturing with Hundred Line read extremely shallow.

we've created a no AI notice to reassure people seeing our trailers and games with hand drawn lettering and a relaxing cute fox, and it's also up on itch in multiple formats* for anyone to use: eniko.itch.io/cute-fox-no-... *with/without fox, transparent/opaque, in 4k, 2160p, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p

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.

A vision of the future of games where everything is slop is a grey goo scenario for the medium. Anyways, here's a thread of demos to check out to counter all the negativity. It's important not to just be against AI, you need to be for something just as vocally, you need to be pro art!

Okay, it's #SteamNextFest and there's a lot of demos out there, so here's a quick thread of suggestions to try out, a lot of these I might not have played, they're just what's tickling my fancy. Let's start with Queen's Domain which is releasing on the 30th!

i still like the way the new robot masters feel distinctly mega man without literally 100% sticking to previous aesthetic tropes. like tank man here has classic robot master eyes but they look painted on, and he's got a vent mouth instead of a human face. it's fun

to me the existential threat posed by AI slop games is less "AI slop games will steal our sales" and more "the onslaught of AI slop and the exhaustion over having to second guess every new game will make people mentally check out from supporting new games at all and retreat to their backlogs"

I was so scared for so long of being seen as pretentious. It's kind of gauche for an artist to talk about what their work is supposed to mean, but I think I designed the game to be so unassuming that I failed to prepare people for the kind of story Carter's Quest is trying to be

Please ignore the MTL release of Meremanoid that came out today. We have had a hearty band at work (Chapu, Popi, Mr. Nobody, Misty, Shentok and I) working hard on an all-human patch. Fully playable in English, in it final editing pass now. Popi provided these screencaps today. More news later.

So, "Schrödinger no neko" isn't up your alley? How about a fully 3D JRPG about an amnesiac siren? This is "Shinkai densetsu Meremanoid". Already hacked the thing, got a half-width font, script dumped, the whole kit and caboodle. Ping me if you know Japanese and want to translate it!
