i worked with our director RJ to put together a web page compiling phone numbers, emails, and petitions where you can make your voice heard - protect queer artists and sex workers and tell payment processing companies to end their awful policies harming safe spaces for creative art

Apparently a lot of people online think games aren't as fun anymore, but that could not be farther from the truth. There's more great games than ever now, so where is this coming from? As always, the culprit is capitalism.

Step to the rhythm, move to the rhythm, slide to the rhythm, spin and do it all over again with my song Twist Sound in Unbeatable!
Fun fact, I sampled myself acting as a dance instructor for that song and even did steps to it to get clothes rustle in there and make it sound more authentic.

Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

i still remember when we were at ONL, there was someone in line who recognized Andrew's UNBEATABLE shirt, and they were like OH MY GOD I LOVE UNBEATABLE and Andrew shouted "THANKS! I WORK ON IT!" and they look starstruck. I wonder how they felt when they saw that final trailer play at the event

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

The fact that we INTENTIONALLY decide to make it get dark earlier and worsen seasonal affective disorder intentionally is nonsense
We were SUPPOSED to have already thrown it away but they keep going "nah actually" for some terrible reason

Our industry does have peer-voted awards, the most visible being DICE, Game Developers Choice Awards, BAFTA. There are scores of smaller developer-led awards too. We do have spaces to celebrate and uplift one another, please support and watch these shows! The teams work hard for the devs!

A note about the TGAs worth remembering as this Future Class story unfolds: it’s a marketing beat, consumer-facing, and voted on by media/influencers. Developers are, by design, not included or considered in the structure. Which feels bad! www.polygon.com/explained/49...
