If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever.

If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

In the interview w Aftermath I was happy to be able to speak my truth which is that the reason charities like this one and many like it can find success is because the games community are incredibly compassionate ❀️ we are truly better together

TL:
"Doraemon, since you left for home, the room has gotten barren.
But...I think I'll get used to this soon.
So... Don't worry about me, Doraemon."

I don't know if I could ever say that lie.

Seems quite odd, but okay. Or perhaps I'm being too careful when a potential opportunity comes up.

How we built narrative game: tools and pipeline of Afterlove:EP Afterlove has finally been released. A collaborative project that took us 4-ish years to finish. It was a ride, and so many things were…

Here's how we did things on Afterlove:EP!

As always, the only real lesson you can learn from "how were they so successful" for any game that was super successful is "good for them". You can find some learnings of stuff to try carefully in the stories of small successes, perhaps. Lots to learn from failures, though.

Inside the Warlocs' office:
"Hey, see that game with all the awards for writing?"
"Yeah?"
"How about we translate it?"
"😱!!!"

We're honoured (and scared) to announce we're localizing 1000xRESIST for @sunsetvisitor.studio into Brazilian Portuguese, French and Korean! \o/

Hekki grace, friends!

Main title screen from the game Drop Duchy. There's a small medieval town with light colours drawn under a blue sky with some clouds and surrounded by mountains. To the left, there's a blue banner with the words "Nueva partida" on it, and under it to the right there are three buttons, each of them read "Misiones", "Árbol de progreso" and "Códice".

You can now play Drop Duchy on Steam, a sort of Tetris inspired roguelite with a medieval touch. Translated into Spanish by yours truly and proofread by the wondrous @tamslator.bsky.social.
