I'm not crying, YOU are crying. 😥

From my home office. Mass Effect is only one of three games prominently featured that I never worked on. No, I am not over Bioware shutting down.

Bioware literally got me interested in Science Fiction again. 😢 This sucks balls man.

We have been delighted to work with El Prez to make sure his people could be oppres...could be obedi...could be *happy and free* on the Switch 2. Story Trailer ➡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=YizN...

Since it's our little game's birthday, our artists will be doing art drops throughout the month! First up, we have environment artist Lotte, who created everyone's favorite cosmetic superstore, the Tailor shop! Check out the rest of her work on The Knightling here: www.artstation.com/artwork/rlNR9J

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

We failed to save the cheerleader y'all 😭 RIP Hayden Panetierre 😢

Happy space day! www.gamesmarket.global/everspace-2-...

Since I was in the mood for Piano arrangements, time for a second one. Original by Mieko Ishikawa - I assume - since @yuzokoshiro.bsky.social denied writing this 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGj1...

I made this piano arrangement decades ago, but the recording was crap. So I wanted to revisit it, but didn't have my source files or midi file anymore, so I just wrote a newer version (because I'm special like that). 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6Cl...

After getting back in the Final Fantasy X mood over the weekend, I watched some ending reactions on YT (never watched these before) and I am glad to see I am not the only one that still gets emotional over it. That being said, the Japanese ending is superior and you will never change my mind.

How does a character - and the unapologetic portrayal of that character - make such an impact in only two episodes, I would watch a 3-season spin-off telling her story? Call me Lohar, Dragon Slayer

I was very sad today to hear that Robert "Bobby" Prince passed away at 81. Industry legend. Pioneer. Wholesome human. Bobby composed the music for Wolfenstein, Doom, Spear of Destiny, Duke Nukem and many more. My thoughts go out to his wife, Connie, and his two sons. Thanks for everything Bobby😔

I want to congratulate the FIFA and the United States government for already - before a single ball has been kicked - organizing the worst World Cup in history.

I've been in this industry for 30+ years, made deals with the biggest guys, spent hours going over ridiculously overbearing 'legalese', battled with the toughest licensors protecting their IPs, and yet I feel like the way we do business improves the most when I make a deal with small indies.

This might be the worst, most detached from reality, take on anything video game related I have seen since Phil Fish's "Japanese games suck". I rate it only slightly better than Notch's racist and misogynistic comments.

The world would be a much worse place without Weird Al Yankovic

Good to clear up the credits for the design, except in this case it's not just crediting, it's plain theft (too many similarities in execution). Shame on you miHoYo.

No no, using AI to write stuff instead of thinking about what we want to write for ourselves will definitely not make us humans any dumber....

Here is a strange call: we look for a gamedev producer! Imagine we are opening a publishing house soon. Imagine we love thoughtful narrative games, games with mysteries and novel experiences. And imagine we're looking for a producer who would love to work with these kind of games. Maybe it's you?⤵️

Sometimes you work on a graphic for a project presentation and then you can't stop staring at it for the next 10 minutes straight because it suddenly hits you what you've done in your career. 🤨

This kinda summarizes why I have lost my interest in computers, software and the internet as a whole. The spammers and the scammers have made it uninteresting and a frustration to use.

I'm looking for work. 21 years of experience. • any game art, isometric, top-down, side-scroll • stylized or realistic • characters, icons, key art, animation • Can build a style from zero or match yours • Big projects don't scare me • ex Minecraft DM here or email christina.neofotistou@gmail.com

I am looking for environmental artists, particularly people with a strong background in concept work for interior locations Atmospheric/ Liminal vibes appreciated You can apply by dropping your art in the replies, or send your portfolio to: regulareyepatchwolf@gmail.com Humans only. no ai.

Holy shit, I have NEVER been more excited for a movie.

I saw this a while back and copied it to make my own - fun exercise - but boy, is it hard to make choices. I have trouble calling anything "best" anyway. But hey, I tried...but now I can't find the original post anymore to quote post. Sorry, whoever I stole this from!

Senior illustrator, with 20 years of experience and a specialty in game art. I haven't been able to find a paying project for months. Can you help? Every share is appreciated.

Inspired by the mini-docu on Metal Gear I just watched, I added a new entry to my MSX Greatest Classics playlist 😁 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCEk...

Excellent mini-docu on the franchise that made young me want to be a game developer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8GV...

At the airport. See you soon San Fran!

People stifling independent contractors on their invoices is not welcome in my industry. "I'm not going to pay you because you can't sue me" is Trump-level abhorrent behavior. We've seen where that leads.

Reasons I love my wife, #37 She comes home from work, tired and ready for bed. Goes to the bathroom while I make her a snack and while I'm in the kitchen, I hear her get out of the bathroom and loudly exclaim: "BEGONE, VILE CLOTHING".

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

My (American) wife today just before going to sleep: "I am beginning to feel a lot like we're Russia." I didn't have a counter argument to make her feel better.

I realize this is probably just an 'old man yells at cloud' moment, but I am baffled by all these tiktoks/reels where people talk to you - the viewer - while holding a microphone. Sometimes a weird tiny thing with a fuzzy on top, sometimes a while desk-mic thing (with stand!). It's weird to me.

I fail to see how a gender-identification marker has any relationship to "being able to safely and legally operate a motorized vehicle". This law has no application, and therefore shouldn't exist. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
