I'm going to recreate a thread that I did on the other side with some of my project/trajectory as a Technical Game Designer in the games industry.
For context, at the moment of writing this (November 2024), I've been working as a TD for 8 years, in 4 different studios

Over 26% of European game professionals were laid off in the past year, more than 10% still searching for jobs
Those in creative professions within the industry feel the least secure in their roles

¿Habéis visto alguna vez cañas de bambú nadando sobre el agua?
Pues claro que no, porque no nadan, bambuseando.

Need to update my portfolio with my contributions to this, but the time I spent at this project really made me reflect about what Tech Design truly is.
It helped a lot that my team put a lot of trust on me, and that I actually worked with another TD! (second one I met in my whole career lol).

16.- Unannounced shooter project
This was my first project at MPG, and I LOVE it to pieces. Probably my happiest time as a game dev ever, and my best work as a Tech Designer. The team is amazing, the game is amazing... In the future I'd love to talk more about it!
Role: Tech Designer
Engine: UE5

One of the things I'm noticing with GenAI is how consistent people are getting at lowering their quality bar and improving their skills on making excuses for stuff that is inadmisible in most jobs.
Feels exactly to what me and countless others did with our code practice deliveries during college.

If people don’t communicate their needs, issues, or triggers and hide things from you only to unleash them like a deluge that’s toxic as hell. You deserve people around you that will have those hard conversations, communicate clearly, and foster actual community. True friends grow together.

Not sure if it is a hot take or not, but I think Silksong difficulty is actually better balanced that Hollow Knight. The game actually trains you for all the challenges it offers, while the original HK just has a flatter curve overall, with a crazy spike for the true ending and DLCs

66h and I still could go for the "over 100%" things, like some missing mementos. Happy with what I did so far, including all endings so I'll leave it here. What a game! #silksong

This is perhaps the most under viewed Unreal Engine video. If you use UMG in Unreal you should really give it a view, Adrienne killed it with this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NHI...

Estoy viendo mucha gente criticando cosas de Silksong que, me da la sensación, es porque no sabían qué clase de juego iba a ser Silksong.

Y como ya dije en directo si el precio de 20€ se confirmaba...preparaos para que todo indie que valga más de 20€ sea cuestionado y tenga que justificarse activamente por su precio.

The idea that 'AI can speed up dev cycles' would require a premise that dev cycles are long because people are taking forever to make assets (so you could replace them with shoddy slop and it'd go faster), which you could only believe is true if you've never actually tried to make a video game
At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

In my experience, content has never been the slowdown for making a game. It's lack of clarity/direction, changing minds, and outside stakeholder influence introducing trash. I fail to see how AI is going to solve that problem.
