Btw, Raquel de Miranda here! ✍️🕹️
I'm a #gamedev & Narrative Designer (now freelance) who worked on "Avatar: Frontiers", Dontnod's "Banishers", "Last Time I Saw You", "The Merlies", and more TBA
I'm big on dark fantasy/scifi/tragedies, cohesion and themes, and unreasonably ambitious side projects ✊😔

Me, and half of my coworkers, have been laid off. I'm now looking for my next position as gameplay or tools programmer (remote, or relocating within Europe). More about me on my website: pauljoannon.com #gamejobs #gamedevjobs
Hi! I'm Paul, a French game programmer living in Lille.
You might know me for narrative-centric games such as “Bury me, my Love”, or “King of the Castle”.
I am also one of the maintainers for the .NET integration in #GodotEngine.

Hey, do people have recs for games that Feel Good? I think I spent the last years of my career building up playing games as a duty more than an actual passion, which led me to basically stop playing entirely.
What are the games that you played recently that massaged your brain perfectly?

So I am sorry that it has come to this, but with my mother struggling with massive overtime to help us, I feel I must ask for help from others, to help us prepare to retreat back home to Sweden with our cats and without going homeless.

Quantic Foundry does legit trustworthy analysis of gamer behaviour, and these survey results are shockingly negative toward genAI, to the point where I’m more hopeful that data driven mobile and AAA backpedals on their uses.
everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most.
sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again.

this is a mild, unserious take but i think with few exceptions you shouldn't name your very first game in a series [Thing]: [Subtitle]. you should just have to name it [Thing] and then if it does well and you make a second one you can start adding subtitles.

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

Right-wing lawmakers in Brazil were voting past midnight to cut down the punishment for Bolsonaro & others involved in 2023's coup attempt
A fight broke up in Congress and Meta simply shadow banned left-wing profiles on IG - including Brazil's president - so the right can dominate the conversation💀

Amanhecemos com um shadow ban generalizado contra perfis de esquerda no Instagram.
Até o perfil do presidente está inacessível.
Shadow ban é uma punição a quem não se adequa à plataforma, então o recado da Meta é bem claro: a direita é amiga, a esquerda é uma ameaça.

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.
