It will have been a decade since I started working in the games industry in May (8 years+ at Rocksteady) and I have just switched departments. Gone from a QA Lead to a Junior Environment Artist. Feeling nervous but also excited about all the new things to learn. :)

Very exciting. I'm so glad they added co-op in now.

The art in this game looks great. Will wishlist later :)

Ah that is interesting, thanks for discussing it and yeah they turned out great. 🙂

Great covers. Out of interest are the art style differences due to an idea that certain cover art will do better in a certain region? Or is it just different because it's an exciting opportunity to have multiple covers by different artists? Not an area I'm familiar with so forgive me if obvious :)

oh i had this realization once

Congrats man, that feels like it'd be such a great job. :D

Glad it’s not just me who’s like this. 😅

The Writer Will Do Something by Matthew Seiji Burns You are the head writer for the third game in the wildly popular ShatterGate™ franchise.

This should probably come with a trigger warning for game devs (especially those in managerial positions in AAA) but I stumbled across this and enjoyed it :D

Witches Den - Beyond Extent Team Challenge - Team 10, Tobias Rintoul Hey all, so I took part in the Beyond Extent Team Challenge recently. For the challenge you are put in teams of 5 and given a random theme that you must work together on to turn into an environment sc...

I recently took part in the Beyond Extent Team Challenge. This challenge puts 5 random artists together, gives them a random theme, in this case "Witches Den", and gives them 5 weeks to get it done.

Here's the post if you're interested to take a look.

Yeah that makes sense. Guess it’s better to do it then overall. I have little insight into how the scraping and prompting works so wasn’t sure. Thanks Des.

I am convinced that all these executives literally live in a different reality than the rest of us.

This is bullshit.

"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.

"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

Glad to know it’s not just my razor that needs that 😅

Yes, that’s the one. Thank you :)

Does anyone remember who posted that video a while back with the capsules doing a hit animation to demonstrate game polish?

A quick gamedev history story.

When I started my career, there were so few 3d artist the company I was hired by had to start a training school to make enough to actually make a big game.

At first we didn't know anything. Real time 3D was new and primitive, and nobody really had mastered it.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

So different to the movie for sure. Some parts of the movie suddenly make more sense (the owl for example) but also feel more random in a way. 😅

Could be a small model used as a representation for mini map or map perhaps?

When you're a "high performing" person it easy to acknowledge in the abstract that burnout is something that happens to people but then it's shocking when all of a sudden it happens to you, and even more shocking when clawing back up to a normal level of functioning takes so god damn long.

wish they were co-op like divinity 2 or baldur's gate. Only thing holding me back from playing them as I enjoy that style of game more with my friend.

Cop the official Max Payne Low Resolution shirt! If you are so sartorially inclined.

Gonna start referring to productivity software like people talk about video games.

"Oh yeah Google Docs is a Cloud-bases Word-like."

"Trello is a Lanestyle Jiracore Tasklike"

"Only weaklings need to use a Pomodoro to get through Sheetstyle work."
