potential EME alert 🚨- apparently the Japanese are signing up to bluesky in droves. If you check the newskies feed 99% of posts are now Japanese

Also, the "huge uproar[...]some reason" is so dismissive. The "journalist" did not even bother trying to genuinely find out why the community was so outraged. Attributing it to amorphous, random reasons invalidates actual concerns over using a harmful tool (if you want to call it one).

also the escapist article has been updated, turned out the writer's understanding of the subject matter when confidently asserting every game uses AI includes believing "NPC behavior" (which to the best of my memory... is also not in blue prince?) is the same kind of AI everyone is concerned about

besides the obvious near-term concrete win here (congratulations Blue Prince, new winner of GOTY) I appreciate this also hopefully makes ultra clear to newer teams that even if their work was as well received as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, AI'll make it ineligible or get an asterisk in awards shows

Hi! I'm a queer indie dev. In my Winter Sale, a bunch of my games and assets are 50% off. All sales go directly to paying my artists and VAs.

I'm trying to reach the $100 goal to fund my dream project. It would be a great Christmas gift! ❤️

Related to this disaster of a move by @girlswhocode.bsky.social, is there an organization/non-profit focused on increasing the number of women in computer science that we could support instead?
kenney.nl Kenney @kenney.nl · 14d
Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

not to beat a dead horse but i also think that inexperienced, aspiring devs think concept art is polished and clean which is simply not true. it doesn't help that artbooks and promo material often show very well-rendered images as concept work. there's a lot of scribbling during the initial phases.

It's been one year.

I’ve written a long post reflecting on nearly quitting game dev, on rejection, on why I make deeply personal games, and why I will continue even if doors stay closed and resources never come.

meiri.itch.io/one-last-sto...

#VNDev #indiedev #gamedev #DoceFim
And if this ends up being a quieter path, without industry validation, without the kinds of opportunities we’re told are the measure of success… then so be it. I’m no longer interested in contorting myself or my work to fit into systems that cannot hold the stories that I wish to tell. I am interested in making work that is true, even when it is inconvenient and hard to look at. So, I will keep going. I will keep writing stories that are personal and messy and sincere. I will keep making games that reach out a hand instead of offering an escape hatch. I will keep believing that there is value in making art for the sake of connection, even when the world says otherwise.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good
