What a fun Zelda reveal, time to go online and see what everyone thinks. I’m sure they’re all being totally normal about it!

I bought a copy of The Witcher 3 on sale but haven't played yet. Now with this free remaster, it's my time to shine!!! Surprised they made that free. Everything costs 70 dollars these days...

i hate that AI companies have muddied the word "generative" Generative art: procedural art created using a *system of mathematical rules designed intentionally* by the artist. AI-generated: created by automated systems (LLMs) using opaque, extractive processes unknown to both the user and viewer.

Sad, and shocked to hear about Kavinsky. Definitely one of my favorite electronic artists. Nightcall on Drive made it all more special. Look at this intro scene, it's made for Nightcall... What a loss... Rest in Peace. Kavinsky will be missed!

I've been getting into Ableton Live, but I can't get over the fact that everything feels so narrow and cramped... You need to re-adjust every window or use multiple key command to expand something. People look at FL Studio as a noob/amateur software but you can easily expand everything with 1 click.

earlier this month, i obtained 102 internal git repositories from music ai company Suno, which was hacked in November. that source code is now being released through @ddosecrets.org in the public interest. ddosecrets.org/article/suno... 🧵

Over 100 source code repositories from Suno, a generative AI platform designed to generate songs based on text prompts. In 2024, Suno was sued by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for copyright violations. The leak reveals that Suno scraped music information from YouTube, Genius, and Deezer with assistance from the Israeli company Bright Data (formerly Luminati Networks).

After my SSD died on me, I'm starting to re-install everything (Including OS), and I'm trying to keep things neatly organized. I'm curious for how long it's gonna last.

I'm currently recovering data from a failed SSD (which contained all my samples/kontakt libraries... sigh) and the only software that helped me to do that was TestDisk. A free open source software. No ads, no fancy GUI, no subscriptions... All those other ones I tried and didn't help at all.

Here's a question for all creators: How you guys are dealing with sharing your work (final pieces, wip, etc) on social media these days knowing that someone might try to rip/train an AI without permission? Do you think about that? Or nothing changed for you? Would love to hear about it!

Hi Deconstructeam!
I came across Virtue and a Sledgehammer, congratulations on your launch! 
The graphics, unique ideas and scenarios are the kicks, indeed.
I initially felt, 'updating the background music can make this game a game changer, for sure'.
We provides an Enterprise API plan with 10,000 songs/month for 99.99 USD. This is the lowest price point in the market and you can just quickly patch our license-free AI music API for stylish background music built for your games. 
We lower the price by developing our own AI music engine, not wrapping the existing ones. 
I'm XXX, founder of XXX. We built XXX on the belief that AI should amplify human creativity, not replace it — developers describe a mood, a scene, or a vibe, and it composes an original track shaped by their own direction. Every track is license-clean, fully owned by the creator, and built on our own models (so it stays clear of the copyright disputes around the major AI music tools). Genre-tuned for rock, post-punk, indie, and hip-hop, available as a studio or via a simple API developers can drop into a game.

So when we make original theatre in a group, eventually we have to identify what is sometimes called "the organizing principle", and once that has been identified it's easier to hold up stuff you make and say: "does this serve that thing?" and if it doesn't you just store it for later use.

I've been looking into references and inspiration material for this project I'm going to do and beyond that I always like to come up with a word for it. Not only to describe what it is but also to work in a way that helps me to have a clear and focused vision for everything on it.

Before full development of Öoo, I built a prototype to test whether bombs could push each other, stack on top of one another, and interact correctly. It looks simple, but implementing these kinds of "obvious" behaviors without using a physics engine was actually much harder than it seems.

Let's also remember the trickle down effects that the cataclysmic amount of games industry layoffs has on which are even harder to measure than the firings: 1) freelance and contract workers out of the job too 2) institutional knowledge gone 3) kids giving up on working in games in the first place

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.
