the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

How The Game Awards voting works It’s the press and fans, not game devs, who vote on The Game Awards

A note about the TGAs worth remembering as this Future Class story unfolds: it’s a marketing beat, consumer-facing, and voted on by media/influencers. Developers are, by design, not included or considered in the structure. Which feels bad! www.polygon.com/explained/49...

The story an environment tells is as important as the dialogue you hear. That’s why concepting is such an important part of our design process.

wanted to boost this again since, unsurprisingly, nothing has panned out (remember this isn't normal!) open to contract and full time work, games-adjacent or no

In about 2 weeks, this game dev is going to celebrate their 39th birthday while stressing out about being unemployed for more than 6 months. I don't expect much for a birthday, but if you have the opportunity to share my consultancy services with someone else that needs it, that'd be a great gift.

“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!”

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors.

We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

we are a serious development team and we are making a very cool and serious game. the crab hands and furbies with oversized teeth and presentations about how cursed the grinch is are all part of the process i swear
