We made a videogame about this!
Atuel is a surrealist documentary videogame about a river that crosses a desert in western Argentina, its history, and how the climate crisis threatens its future.
It's 30 minutes long and completely free!

Survey: tell us how you're using AI GamesIndustry.biz is running an editorial survey (with no commercial involvement) to find out how the industry is using AI, how you think it should be used, and how it should be presented to players. It's quite short, simple, and anonymous, although there's the option to give your email address if you'd like to talk more. Please note this survey is only for those working in the industry, not the general public. You can fill out the survey here. The survey will run until Wednesday 25 February, and we'll be reporting the results as part of a run of coverage on GamesIndustry.biz, in an effort to look past the controversy and judge the impact AI is having on how games are made and marketed.
Gi.biz have a survey up about genAI usage, you know what to do comrades

the one piece of advice you need for being a game developer is "never make a post demeaning the work of a particular dev specialisation, even if it is a joke"
So, you have a logo.
I want you to run it through these tests, to see if it's an effective logo, or just a nice illustration.
Because I see so many people who reveal logos for their new, exciting thing ... and it's not fit for purpose.
And you'll learn that hard way if you don't check.
What do you think of the 2026 GDC state of the industry? Both the report's results, and the report itself as a tool.

"I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”
What does this do for women's rights?

Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever? Open your gdrive (web OR app) Settings > Manage Apps Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push) Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

Every “free” file converter online = your files sent to some random server.
So I made my own. Runs locally as an app on Mac, Windows and Linux.
Now 1,100 users use it for 3,742 types of conversions.
While I’m talking storytelling, I’m gonna drop my top five pieces of advice I usually give out:
1. Ingest as much art as you can.
Not just watch/read other things, but also go to a gallery, live show, or some other artist effort even outside of your practice. I was inspired by a dinner recently.
I really love my 2nd hand Herman Miller. Any ergonomic office chair is a good start, check reviews. Anything sold as a "Gaming Chair" will look great and feel awful.
