Are you a video game professional working on something RAD and UPLIFTING? My first days writing for Vertical Slice have been filled with preposterously downbeat and altogether maddening stories. The news cycle is what it is, but I would love to get some good/fun/silly news on the feed. HMU!

Today google turned on even more genAI features for businesses who pay for google suites, which means a lot more things to turn off. It automatically turned on reading all your email and docs for generative AI learning so that probably already happened. Turn it off in your admin panel here:

So I really wanted to switch to Godot but unfortunately, after testing it for the past few days, my conclusion is that it is still not yet viable for 3D/tech artists coming from a background of using Unreal or even Unity. I plan to contribute proposals to try to improve this, documented here!

I saw this video on Reddit of DuneCrawl, which uses my Asset Forge for sketching. I love it, in fact, I loved seeing this so much that it gave me a lot of inspiration. Big plans for Asset Forge, hopefully will already be able to share soon. redd.it/1x2fy0r

Also mutes take alt text into account. If you mute a word and it shows up in alt text, you won't see that post. I deeply appreciate people who use alt text!

Hi, Iโ€™m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - Iโ€™m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

I found great use from Starter Packs so I thought I'd put my own together! It's basically a bunch of people who post their #gamedev progress for whatever they are working on. I find it incredibly inspirational! I tried to not have any a/i in it so let me know if there is. go.bsky.app/4mLnBDY

At Osaka Indie Games Summit today. Lots of interesting titles. Definitely feels thereโ€™s now an โ€œindieโ€ scene in Japan brewing thatโ€™s similar to what we thought of a couple of years ago in the west.

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.
