dev time is often the cheapest thing in a budget

remember....open ai burned something like 500 billion dollars in one year and hit a wall where company incompetence and tech limitations slammed hard into eachother and adobe is 100% guilty in causing that
Execs always claim bloated budgets increase retail prices. This is a lie.

They will always increase prices to whatever they think they can get away with. Always have, always will. AI is merely a new get-richer-quicker scheme.

And execs will never admit the most bloated costs… are themselves.
- AI is used to offload the "tedious" work so devs can focus on the artistic side of things

- AI will make games cheaper to and faster to produce

Still a $70 game btw...

hey remember how that one big tech ceo was on a panel in like 2021/22 where someone asked him about how remote work gave a lot more power to the workers and he chuckled and said “yeah well a little recession will take care of that”

I think about that often.
Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

a company cared enough in their testing recruiting to make a decently bad website and ask folks to list all the "bugs" on it. heres hoping it means im interviewed today

it is with great regret that the 5g antenna aliens has been recalled on fears its been hacked by china, Wutani refused to comment beyond reiterating that Aleins are "dope" and we need that 5g installed in our domes~

(amazing sketch, the back things continue to be freaky to this day)
Xenovember day 12! This was my take on what, up to that point, had been known as the praetorian #alien, done as a private commission. It would also be used by both NECA and Tindalos for both toys and video games, which were both wild to see!

completely agree, its batshit insanity and reiterates the undeniable fact that the majority of "devs" involved with it are either extreme perverts or so antisocial that they think stage plays are the only answer on data analysis. Hell , actual performers are probably insulted
A lot has been said about the ills of Gen AI but the fact that you need to roleplay with it to get anything done is just ridiculous to me

Indeed and linkedin are flooded with 1099 jobs from companies like mercor. Theyre demanding 60 hour work weeks non ot paid where you spill your career secrets to ai over a 6 week period

its a depressing time in games industry...actually safer to say its always depressing but boy we keep finding declaring that we found bedrock but then some sadistic founder finds a new aaaa bedrock thats 3% worse than the previous years bedrock & now that bedrock is 50x more expensive due to nvidia
I interviewed with 20 studios in 2023 before finally finding a home at CDPR. Studios closed, projects got canceled, devs got laid off. As of today, only 1 of those roles remains. It's a wild time in the games industry

Australians will be getting 3 hours of free electricity a day because of how many people have installed solar - this is seriously huge considering the massive solar uptake in Australia happened while the federal government delayed action on climate
