We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.
So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Attention fellow AUSTRALIANS! 🇦🇺
We now have an official petition to parliament to STOP MASTERCARD and VISA from its campaign of censorship, restricting what legal products we can buy.
Please sign it now, and if you're not an Aussie, spread the word!

It's been a while.
Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs.

It has been 15 days since I boredom-stumbled my way into developing a game.
In that time I have vastly expanded the scope in all directions, upgraded engine partway through, completely broken a build moments after not backing up, and implemented several practices that I should’ve had from the start.

After a very enjoyable ~60 hours, I’ve wrapped up Avowed. A lot of fun, delightful characters, very satisfying overall plot, some truly great moments, and I really appreciate how it factored in so many of my choices in different ways (even seemingly minor ones).
Highly recommend as a modern RPG.

First book down. Reading along with @rangedtouch.bsky.social, which I will also give a large portion of the credit for motivating me to get back into reading this year.

If you subscribe to Microsoft 365 Personal, the 40% price increase is a con to upsell you AI. Your old plan and price is still there called "Classic" - but only if you try to cancel.
Microsoft should be ashamed if not prosecuted.
