The solution to wanting to make and popularize a small game with some relatability is simply package it alongside others in a bigger game

Realizing we've hit critical mass on infinity scroll addiction because not long ago everyone pushed back on YouTube obscuring subscriptions in favor of a discovery algo and now I see people unwilling to spend 5 minutes curating interests and want their doom scroll algo to be better. It's weird.

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.
Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

there's few feelings of guilt stronger than talking with a coworker who's been around the internet block, but not so much that when you jokingly bring up vore they ask "what's that?"

Studio heads believe "GenAi is so fucking magical and will take us back to the old days of smaller teams and shorter production times" when the obvious answer is either make a smaller game or Universal Basic Income 😀
But when the bubble pops, the artists will be the first to suffer, not him.

"It’s time to face reality, AI is here to stay" - Kingdom Come: Deliverance head Daniel Vávra says Larian got a "crazy shitstorm" for doing what "absolutely everyone else is doing", and that while he's "no fan of AI generated art" it's going nowhere.

Larian’s usage of genAI is by no means close to the worst I’ve heard of (not a defense-just saying) but if companies can learn one thing from this backlash, I hope it’s that nobody wants this and you will actually EARN goodwill (with gamers AND creatives) by outright banning genAI usage.
