Reached the "Is this real? Is this anything? What am I doing??" stage of polishing this video for tomorrow. It's not self-deprecation, more like no longer seeing a word for its meaning, but for its symbols. I'm so ready to be done, but looking forward to revisiting in a year & seeing what it became.

@daryltalksgames.bsky.social showing how the sausage gets made creating videos: the pitfalls, anxieties, life lessons learned and the ghosts left behind (or not?). A heartwarming video about games, but not just games. Check it out!

friends who wish they were artists, go watch it too. it's perhaps more important and pertinent to you than anyone else. watch it, and then go out and make art. it's a revolutionary act.

There's a sequence in my next video that I cut to save time (lol), but having watched it all the way thru, was sorely missing. So I dragged out my camera, keyed the footage, and staged the 3D scene in a midnight frenzy. I'm so glad I did; I think it's my favorite shot. Preview of the scene geo 👀:

Yessssss. This makes me so happy to read.
I’ve probably shared this before, but one of the coolest moments I had in this game was when I was about to be burned by a dragon and had no cover.
So I froze its neck to the ground so it couldn’t turn its head. Then I circled around safely while flames harmlessly enveloped the area I was just in.

One take from a former Larian artist, following my interview with Swen Vincke this morning:
consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

I think these awards felt especially boring because categories like Best RPG and Best Indie each honor overall quality among a subset rather than a specific craft. If a game is the best of the year, and it’s an RPG, obviously it is also the best RPG. Needs an overhaul to avoid pointless repetition

This has been a great year for the engine, but there are still a lot of things we would love to do.
If each person visiting our website donated €5, we could hire 5 more developers to work on Godot full-time.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.
