We’re thrilled to introduce another initiative of ours: GOG One-click Mods – a curated selection of premium mods directly packed with the game for the smoothest installation! Learn more here: www.gog.com/news/experie...

Peep our game trailer! 👀

Tim unveiling an Unreal coordinate system that'll break everything all,

Honestly, this photographer was wasted on corporate stock photos.

Over 14,000 people pushed Twitch to walk back a fucking *cat emote*, but only half of that number are going against their AI-generated category images. This lukewarm inconsistent pushback is how generative AI is normalized and justified among corporations. If you use Twitch in ANY way...

Someone else said something very similar to this the other day, but. It really burns me that our (millennials') generation was legally terrorized for like, downloading Radiohead discographies But we're supposed to be ok with billionaires stealing human intellectual output in its entirety bc AI

Looks like a recent #SteamDeck update messed up #GuildWars2 for some people (myself included). Until it's fixed this is how I made the game look less like a fever dream on my system: www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2...

You need this today. For morale.

Reminder that I’m happy to help you move your Substack newsletter to a self-hosted Ghost newsletter that you fully own and control (and that scales more cheaply than Substack if you’re monetized.)

Alice in Wonderland is actually a #roguelike game: - MC descends into underground dungeon with locked doors - Drink potions with unknown effects - Procedural Generation, as indicated by the smiling cat saying it doesn't matter what direction you walk - Progression towards a final boss, the queen.

If your industry (AI) can only exist by ripping the work of others without credit, then it shouldn't exist. The big companies are just steamrolling over the rights of everyone because they're getting away with it. Governments have been cowardly to act on this.

if you're at a game dev studio - what percentage of the people at the studio are positive/excited about AI? and is there a specific group/type of person that is more positive about it than others?

Neither can I take people seriously who actually think A"I" created images and videos are art, nor the people who think they're right. Because "Crafting a prompt is also work" You understand nothing, idiot.

There's a thing kicking off in comics circles that applies to game dev too, and the main takeaway is: (we're not in competiton, no really even with the density of releases on Steam we're not meaningfully in competition, don't be weird toward your peers, their success doesn't hurt you)

"And within a short notice ... home no more. And only ruins are left to remind you of what once was there. They say I should be happy I could get away from there fast enough, but it feels like a part of me is swallowed by the event, never to be found again." #Art #VoidState #CosmicHorror #OCArt

I know I'm spamming a lot with this EU initiative to BAN conversion practices but the signature collection stops on MAY 17!!! ⚠️ Not all countries in EU have laws to ban conversion therapy, so many LGBTQ+ people are still at risk. You can vote as a EU citizen even if you don't live in EU anymore!!

Posted by @deanhall.bsky.social on reddit, anyone using #Unity needs to take a serious look at what is going on. This is a direct threat to hundreds (thousands?) of studios and tens of thousands of indie developers with games built on Unity. www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/co...
