I'm checking on the meltdown by AI users over GPT-4o being discontinued, and there's like, actual posts of people crying and mourning it like if it was a person.

Its bleak stuff. The world might be tough, but developing a parasocial relationship with a mega-corporation plagerism machine isn't it. 😵‍💫

So today OpenAI discontinued ChatGPT 4o, the model known for being weirdly affirming and telling people that they’re religious figures and to kill and what not. This has greatly upset the community who has used 4o’s affirming nature to do AI romances, who are now mourning the death of their partners

That was actually a pretty good State of Play! Really nice variety of games across genres, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how Konami is handling their IPs and giving them to other studios to make stuff with. The Marvel fighting game looks amazing too. 👀

We've had someone ask us for new posts and updates on Townseek. Now that we're past the rougher months, I hope to resume regular posts on our studio/game in the coming days. 🫡

I really enjoy writing about our game and our work, so it's a bit sad when things slow to a crawl. Hoping to change that. 🤞

I'm currently having to explain my logic process, code, and design decisions to an external team in writing for the first time ever, and it's being an interesting challenge alright.

I can see a lot of decisions I've made being confusing understand at first, but I hope they make sense in context. 🤔

I maintain that this is the moment a lot of folks realise that they can just do direct deals with porting houses and marketing teams.

Publishers got used to low risk thanks to platform deals and crowdfunding. They need to remember that ‘absorbs risk’ is their primary non-replaceable role tout suite
"we shouldn't have to work for free on a game until it's nearly-done enough to get funding" and "it's the only thing you can really do so you should do it if you want to make games" are both true imo and it's shit but what else is there really to do that isn't just give up

It feels like my laptop is reaching the end of its life after eight years, even after upgrading the RAM and SSD. The CPU and GPU are the bottleneck now and starting to fall behind. 💦

Unfortunately now's the worst time to be shopping for new laptops because of jacked up RAM prices. Thanks, Sam. 😒

how do we not live in a world where a bunch of the people who made Titanfall can't just push out a quick, solid mid-budget campaign shooter to prove themselves and build up a runway / reputation? How do we jump immediately to "We need to compete with Apex"?

Between this and 2XKO, I can't fathom how these games are considered unsuccessful and are laying off staff only two weeks after launch. There's not even time for the games to find an audience or to evolve. No foresight at all.

Really sorry to those affected by the layoffs. Wishing them the best. 🙇
Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post

"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.

This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."
