Feel like retreating to your own island away from the chaos and heartbreak of these days?
I have the game for you: Eilands.
It’s along the lines of Tiny Glade and Townscaper, but the focus is on nature.
Still in early development. Stay in touch for more info!

With depravity on such open display on all levels, these people have clearly crossed the rubicon. They are all in. It’s you or them at this point. I’d be surprised if the midterms happened at all.

Looking forward to video games where all the bad guys are ICE

Love it when people make UI logic the entry point of their app initialization, and then get frustrated when a minor UI flow change mucks it all up in all the places.

Upgrades to iOS 26 and I hate it so far. Visually it’s not doing much for me but the part I hate the most is how it now takes 2 taps to see my browser tabs on Safari where it used to be just one. If the goal was to make me stop using Safari, well done there.

People say there is no money for public services, but then spend untold billions to move heaven and earth to build deep fake porn machines.

I mean of course brutalism is the primary design aesthetic with orcs.
love how orcs are well known for their mastery of smithing and then their weapons look like this

This is so ridiculous I'm gonna quote post twice. Someone let Sony know there is this thing called STORY MODE in some games.
Sony has patented an AI gaming ghost that will play PlayStation games for you when you get stuck www.eurogamer.net/sony-has-pat...

Looking at the comments, I think people don't understand the role of concept art in production. The quoted guy is saying they use AI for the reference gathering phase, which is BEFORE the concept art phase. That phase would otherwise happen on Google image search, Artstation, Pinterest, etc. 1/2
Cmon man maybe you should double check your posts before towing the company line.

Unpopular opinion: concept art isn't just art, but is also a communication device. If I were on a team that spoke a language other than my native one, AI translation could help convey my ideas. Visual art is not my native tongue and I have used genAI in the past to convey ideas to actual artists.
I think it's nice when concept art shows the evolution of people's creative processes instead of a prompt, but what do I know

While I greatly appreciate all the folks producing free audio samples and virtual instruments, I can't help but notice how many of them really like that "this was recorded at the bottom of a very deep well" vibe in their demo tracks.

Last couple of days I've been trying to fashion my own homemade midi breath controller, a specialized electronic instrument that retails for hundreds of dollars...
...and boy, did I nail it! Using a headset mic, masking tape, a paper straw, some lego pieces and an inexpensive audio plugin = $40. 😆

Me: found a great sampled instrument at pianobook and it’s totally free!
30s later: …and it can only be played with the $300 Kontakt 8 sampler.
