Happy #portfolioday !

I'm a 3D artist who loves environments. I'm working with Know Buddy Games on a horror game right now. I also run an ambience YouTube channel with environments I made in Unreal Engine: www.youtube.com/@cozybunnyam...

Oh EA's gunna go BANKRUPT bankrupt. Like...fast.

Wait was EA’s big GenAI push a bid to convince potential buyers that it could lower operating costs after a purchase to help pay for debts??

They have like four whole game studios making the Battlefield series, you can’t run a CoD-competing juggernaut with automation.

Interesting section on EA's £55 billion takeover, I'm sure this is all gonna work out so well... "The deal is a huge bet that artificial intelligence can significantly cut EA's operating costs, allowing the equity consortium to manage a large debt load on a company that historically carried limited net debt. Al is already widely used across Silicon Valley to accelerate many kinds of computer programming. In games development, it can be used to replace voice actors and create backdrops and other assets, as well as automating play testing to avoid bugs before release." "The investors are betting that Al-based cost cuts will significantly boost EA's profits in coming years, people involved in the transaction told the Financial Times."

Interesting regarding AI and Kpop Demon Hunters 1/2
Artists Against Generative Al 15 AGAINST Andrew Unferdorfer • 14h • G A Redditor caught this. Looks like a possible instance where a translation bot fabricated pro-Al misinformation and that got picked up and amplified as real news. The misinformation states that ChatGPT was used by the creators of KPop Demon Hunters to help them write the song "Soda Pop". Problem is, when somebody went back to the original source in Korean, IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING AI OR CHATGPT! The article was translated with Al, and it looks like the Al itself made up this complete lie, and the truly terrifying thing is how nobody questioned it until this one person went digging for the truth. We launched the OpenAl Korea office yesterday! Fav moment from the launch celebration was hearing singer/songwriter Vince share that ChatGPT helped him write "Soda Pop" from KPop Demon Hunters! It apparently gave him ideas to make it sound "more bubbly" OpenAl 코리아 Tweet's now deleted, but here's a bit further down the web of this: The original article this was sourced from, from Korea JoongAng Daily, says this: "Prior to the unofficial event, producer Vince also spoke with Business Director Oliver Jay at OpenAl's official launch event. Vince stated, "We sometimes use ChatGPT to generate inspiration when producing K-pop," and also mentioned that Al technology is already being utilized in K-pop." The thing is, that's only in the English translation. The Korean article it's translated from doesn't mention KPop Demon Hunters using Al at all. So, how did it get there? Well, the English article, as confirmed by a note at the bottom, was translated using generative Al. So, since different language versions of the article contradict themselves, there's a nonzero chance that this entire debacle is an Al hallucination ITSELF, spawned from an Al translation

It's funny because all the devs & pubs I heard from at Gamescom had strong anti-AI and "let's take our time" sentiments. Yes, they're all indies.

You're only listening to and parroting the side of the industry that's completely lost the plot and will chase infinite growth into a AAAA-sized grave.

Just sitting here thinking about that one time I accidentally sent a client a link to my animal crossing museum tracking spreadsheet instead of a link to my design deliverable.

Honestly I think it was an accidental flex, I was so locked into completing that museum for blathers (my other client)

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

lol I will never turn off the option that lets the boys show up like this randomly. I accidentally poked him when I was taking this screenshot and of course he spits out the funniest line possible in this situation.

Wishlisting is free — but for a dev, it’s fuel.

A wishlist isn’t just a ‘maybe later.’ For a lot of indies, it’s the difference between visibility and obscurity. If you’re even a little curious, hit that button.

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi.

Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes.

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it
Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.
