Hi, are you working in the video game industry in a chiefly creative capacity (artist, writer, designer, etc)? Is your boss/company trying to foist AI on you against you or your team's wishes? If so I'd love to chat. lukeATaftermathDOTsite, or a DM here if you prefer, thanks!

Idk... if a developer doesn't care enough to pay actual human storytellers to create a game I sure as hell won't care enough to play it.

Novice level designers LOVE making blockouts of playable spaces! Portfolios are filled with them. Reality of many projects is that plenty of LDs will ship zero original maps in them, instead re-scripting gameplay in existing spaces or retrofitting them for a different purpose. #gamedev #leveldesign

Canadian friends, here is how weird the USA is: Living in Canada since 2015, I vote absentee ballot in US elections as a Massachusetts resident. Because of a prior ~3 year stint to live and work in Massachusetts at Irrational Games. They can’t manage 50 states or 51. Unless taxes are needed.

My Level Design Learning Path videos for #UnrealEngine at Epic Dev Community! This series of videos was contracted for Epic Games to show how to use the UE Editor specifically for #leveldesign. I hope to continue these videos privately at some point. #gamedev dev.epicgames.com/community/pr...

I've started a new project: Game Dev Foundry—a community-driven resource to help empower game devs build and run successful studios. Game development is hard, but we don’t have to figure it all out alone—let’s build this together! rikukat.github.io/game-dev-fou... #gamedev #indiedev #gameindustry

What y’all have seen on tv and on your phones ain’t nothing like the devastation and heartbreak in real life. My heart goes out to everyone in greater Los Angeles that lost their homes and belongings and pets and loved ones. We will recover. @chuckdpe.bsky.social www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebui...

So much older style tech still has tremendous potential for originality and gameplay. Crazy to think I cut my teeth on this stuff and now this is being produced.

Beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way. I re-watched so much David Lynch during the pandemic, really helped me through it. A real beacon of creativity, originality, and above it all, optimism. avidly.lareviewofbooks.org/2020/10/12/b...
