Tech bros went straight from "Don't steal my NFT!" to "Who cares if AI is stolen art?" It'd be funny if they didn't drag the rest of the world into this hellscape

We made this fighting game animation and my husband put extra love in the fake UI I'm so proud 🥹

Big thanks to @shaipo.bsky.social for letting me animate this wonderful illustration by @mgosketches.bsky.social It was so much fun to work on, especially because I love recreating game interfaces!

Jennifer Hale once told me Canadians need to champion ourselves more. I wholeheartedly agree. Over the past few months, I reached out to dozens of Canadian devs to learn their favourite Canadian games. Their varied responses offer a wonderful spotlight on some of the incredible talent we have here.🍁

mobilesyrup.comThese are must-play Canadian games, according to Canadian devsAs Canadians, we don't champion ourselves enough, so we asked dozens of game developers to do just that.

It’s not that I’m a snob about AAA games but I just don’t think that the structures of AAA games allow AAA games to be art or artful

Tha amount of time I see "this game is this meets that" as its pitch is way too high. Inspiration is one thing but please tell me how you differ from what you're inspired by!

As a games journalist, I try to avoid saying “this game looks like this game plus this game” because it feels dismissive and kind of mean but holy shit I need some studios to start making games that don’t look like “this game plus this game”

After laying off Battlefield 6 devs, EA boss Andrew Wilson's bonus rose $8m to $38m last year, thanks to the game's success across "all milestones" www.eurogamer.net/ea-boss-38-m...

You don’t need me to tell you more news that the games industry is a shit show right now, but I think it’s still worth noting how some dumbass mega Corp investor tried to get the boss of Fromsoft fired because they allegedly didn’t exploit the Elden Ring brand ENOUGH for their profit margins.

I've completed Death Howl recently and can't believe I haven't seen it mentioned more. It was a nice surprise that I missed from last year's releases.

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

absolutely killer next fest so far for the idea that games can look like whatever the hell you want (Airframe Ultra, Cicadamata, Luna Abyss, The Last Salvage Squad)

On this week's #screenshotsaturday, I want to showcase some of my pixel art on simple boxes. The challenge of those objects is making sure the viewer understands what the object is about without a clear and obvious shape. Fun but hard! #gamedev #indiedev #psx #unrealengine #indiegame #cute #3dart
