ive had conflicting thoughts about Arc Raiders. the AI voice acting bit is admittedly a small part of the overall package, but I also think it sets the absolute worst precedent, and I fear for how this gives other developers the green light to take bigger steps into generative AI in future games.
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

feel like Mario kart world was such a blip this year. played nonstop for about 2 days and then nothing. I'm still really looking forward to when Nintendo finally gives it an update though.

theres a good thread on /r/games right now about astroturfing and how it intersects with self-promotion and the fact that many subreddits' rules unintentionally encourage a little astroturfing because of how much people dislike open self promo.
anyway check out SongRunner on @itch.io

use keys 1-8 to play music which creates platforms to reach the end of single-screen platform challenges!
Here's an early level and a later level!

taking some baby steps to de-google and take some of the megacorp leeches out of my monthly bills. I think the hardest apps to really get rid of will be Google Drive and Spotify, though the latter is on a really impressive speedrun toward supervillain status.

I've been thinking about video games that are either about being a musician or which incorporate music into their gameplay - not mere rhythm games, but games where music is a central theme.
Here are 25 good ones (+ some encores!)

trying bg effects today. want to maintain the minimalist look but also levels were feeling a bit sterile. i think i like the first one (the faded platforms bop to the beat) more than the second one (the white squares move up and down vertically - a little distracting imo).

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.
For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:
