Game funding is in a drought, yes, but not because good games aren’t out there.
It’s that no one with money wants to fund something that isn’t already a success in disguise.
That’s not investment, or partnership- it’s financialization of art.

So this was a talk about magic tricks. Things that anyone, at any scale of development, could do to make their work more special. It's also a bit of a manifesto, it's kinda funny how much of this I ended up applying to TRON: Catalyst, which we started on a couple years after I wrote this.

the problem with gen AI characters just from purely a game design & player experience standpoint is that the characters are unmemorable and boring, there's no way to feel clever when talking to them, and even if you roleplay when talking to them they won't remember or react to that meaningfully

Ok lets get into it then. Hi I'm Valentine, I was one of the employees who led most of the walkouts and who was part of the original group pushing for unionization at Blizzard, especially on the WoW team where I worked at the time.

The trauma, discrimination, and abuse that our coworkers and former coworkers endured is not fake or a "plan to drive union membership". Our unions were born from the very real and harmful way executives reacted when made aware of these situations.
