Today, once again, I saw an indie studio owner defend GenAI as inevitable. I want to say once again: no, it's not. It's only as inevitable as you want it to be (especially as an owner) Do smaller, be smarter, don't use this shit.
And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.

We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.
Skill issue.

today is Rosa Parks' birthday & she would've been 113 years old during this time on BHM. never forget the history people are trying to destroy every day. stay educated, stay informed.

None at all 😬

Un argument Γ§a peut Γͺtre que c'est une bonne faΓ§on d'attendre que Γ§a remonte. Il n'y a pas moins de joueureuses donc pas de raison que Γ§a ne remonte pas quand on aura compris que les jeux ne se font pas avec de l'IA. En tous cas il va y avoir pas mal moins de AAA/AA dans quelques annΓ©es...

Well not sure about that. I have seen a lot of jobs being only shared privately (posting on the afjv means you'll have so many applications to review, and a lot of them will be irrelevant, as people are rather desperate)
February 4, 2026 at 9:07 AM
Frightening, but it matches my impressions and job seekers' experiences :-/ Is it only job offers or actual jobs? (I think in the actual climate, a lot more jobs are never publicly on the market)
February 4, 2026 at 8:24 AM
Oh thanks! That's excellent news :) I'm very honoured that you noticed and picked us! It's a game crafted with love, it means a lot to us πŸ’–

I wish all players a lot of pleasant time in The Abbess Garden, learning about real plants, discovering our love story and unfolding the spy plot!

EspΓ©rons que Γ§a s'amΓ©liore quand mΓͺme. Savoir raconter des histoires, c'est pas ce qui paie le mieux des factures, mais je ne vois pas pourquoi Γ§a deviendrait un jour inutile ! 🌸
February 2, 2026 at 5:52 PM
Soutien ! C'est pas le plus fun,a cause de l'aspect rΓ©pΓ©titif (mais tjrs vachement plus que de faire le dossier/contrat, les factures et de rΓ©clamer les sous, des fois que Γ§a aide a relativiser ;) )
February 2, 2026 at 4:41 PM
Merci du rappel ^^

Ugh... Now I would need also a guide about which films have AI and which does not. A lot of friends in VFX said it's replacing workers super fast in this industry (worse than video games) and they don't seem to be able to do anything about it :-/
February 2, 2026 at 6:29 AM
And if possible, on the release day!

I also cannot afford to buy all my friends' indie games, but please, if you ever can afford that, buy it day one and leave a review πŸ’–

Nothing has more impact (well, I guess except if you're a very well-known content creator or journalist ;) )
