This is actually the funniest idea of all time

Programming contractor delivers my client a milestone It’s broken and full of issues so we request revisions before acceptance. Contractor says he can’t and wants full payment Turns out it’s all AI and he doesn’t even know what he made So he’s not getting paid and he wasted my client’s time

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

What is everyone doing? Buy Onimusha damnit.

Sony: fuck you Microsoft: fuck you Nintendo: stick

Opinion: Xbox already has a marketing team and (unless I'm mistaken) journalists are not on its payroll A conveyer belt of toothless Asha Sharma profiles have shown one thing: reporters who get access must do better

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.

the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty

One year ago, RedLynx was being praised by Digital Foundry for producing "the most impressive demonstration of Switch 2 technology we've yet seen." Now, the studio is being shut down by Ubisoft. I keep seeing the phrase 'do good work, get laid off anyway' and, yeah, I can see why.

i will place my hands on tim sweeney's head and cast the devil out

another day in the layoff industry

Lmaooooooooooo

i ever tell y'all about the time many years ago that because gabe newell had given me a headcrab hat i asked him what he wanted for his birthday, and he emailed me just a really long serial number which i googled and it was some room-sized metalworking device worth like ten million dollars. hobbies

I’m not a producer but if I was I would start every meeting by getting people to plot their status on this

I’m sorry but this “core team” stuff has reached a level of absurdity. You can’t say this shit about a game that used hundreds of contractors.

using it anywhere (yes, even code) is an instant signal to the kind of person you are. the kind of shit you’re willing to sweep under the rug in the name of personal convenience. it’s entirely irrelevant how good AI is at a task

on this point in particular: egs sales are so bad it's common for devs to share and compare out of disbelief, and often what you find is quite popular games are selling only in the double or triple digits of copies last i checked, my game had sold (drum roll please) five

Why do the random NPCs in this game look so much better than the main cast

I can confirm that this client runs like shit.

NEW: Why did Grand Theft Auto VI take 8+ years to make? How did Rockstar's culture change along the way? I went to Scotland and interviewed the company's top developers for this exclusive Businessweek cover story. Inside the making of the biggest game of all time: www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Epic Games is retooling for "maximum AI acceleration" seven months after laying off 1,000 workers

I also want Vertical Slice to evolve beyond the confines of a traditional paper. That's why I'm launching The Repository, a growing (free) collection of pitch decks and design docs donated by generous contributors including @kitfoxgames.com, @outersloth.com, and @outerloopgames.bsky.social.

Messing around in home assistant is kinda fun. I can see why people get obsessed with smartifying everything in their home.

Odd sort of non-announcement but for the past few months I've been working on Beyond Good & Evil 2 in a support/consultant role. I am allowed to say this, I checked.

Yo!

Apparently Metroid Ravenous Special Edition went on sale randomly some time today with no announcement and sold out in minutes. How the fuck do they expect people to buy their shit?

DLSS 5 is just a lighting pass and not an ai hallucin--

Wolverine embargo is up and I think it is...not good at all! The game attempts very little and succeeds at even less. Relentlessly uninteresting combat, largely shallow characters, stale level design. A fascinating example of AAA polish on a hollow shell of an idea.
