I made a free rules hack for ORC BORG this month that lets you fly spaceships around and crash them into one another (and/ or the ground). It's pay what you want on rollinkunz.itch.io . Here's the layout and illustration process 💛

Following #over/under I had a lot of feelings about play, about searching for the "right" system, and about making time enjoy whimsy, even when things are dire. Waking up the old blog (which also has notes from my work on Dissident Whispers uhhh 5 years ago?)

One of the best things to recognise in yourself as a creative person is when you are Sauceless.
Not art blocked. Not struggling with a difficult creative problem.
Being Sauceless is when you've done good work but have been staring at it for too long, and risk making it worse through noodling.

“It’s important to assume every game company is now using AI.” Nexon CEO comments on role of human creativity as AI tools become the norm - AUTOMATON WEST
In an interview following the launch of ARC Raiders, the CEO of Embark Studios' parent company Nexon shares his views on AI.

No.
What I'm really worried about is that the folks not in the know are going to point to Embark's CEO and say "they're using it." All of these guys talk to each other in a big AI Echo chamber.
We don't use generative AI at either Minor Key Games or Question. Partly on principle, and partly because we're really good at what we do.
We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.
Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.
