I'd love to eat mugs.

Have a nice cup of tea and then eat the mug like a waffle cone

Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same.

Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush.

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

Introducing The Sims Maker Program and The Sims 4 Marketplace A new in-game platform designed to support custom content creators and help more players discover their work.

The Sims 4 is now allowing modders to sell their content through an in-game shop and EA takes... 70% of each sale. I think that's way out of line and 40% above the already controversial typical revenue share for platforms. Creators deserve better.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

No generative AI was used in creating The Mermaid Mask - this game is the result of nothing less than a small group of very talented artists working hard for a long time!

A shame it even has to be said, but it's important to restate our values when making games:

No GenAI. Ever.

This is what the dialogue tool looks like in our Mermaid Mask Unity project. I write the script directly into these boxes, select facial expressions if it's for an examine box, as these are, and I include voice directions, since it later gets exported as a script for the voice actors

It's a shame you had to clarify yourself further when i truly believe all your arguments were very well elaborated. I can understand wanting to clarify for people trying to say your arguments were reductive, but know that many of us understood where you were coming from πŸ‘ It's an excellent vid
