Still in leveldesign land with the time I get, but I wanted to see how far I could get leveraging the portals I did way back when to also work as mirrors. Theres plenty of little details still not covered but it largely works with some handwaving! #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #3DPlatformer

Olivia Just Wants Tech To Be Fun Again @kingdomfantasy6.bsky.social · 13h

This is what I'm talking about when I bring up that genAI bots are making it impossible for an open web to actually exist. It becomes expensive, a pain, and domain providers like cloudflare are profiting off both the people making bots and the people who don't have the tech skills to fight them off

All dogs are angels.

a drawing of a dog sleeping on the stone tiles of what seems to be a mossy ruin. The broken wing of a nearby statue lays in line so that it looks like it's a wing of the dog. Sunlit kisses the dog. It sleeps contently in its warmth.

By the way, this is a "Complete Your Collection" bundle so if you already own some of my games on Steam you can still get the bundle discount on the remaining games if you buy them together in the bundle

you arent a burden. you are a human being with wants and needs. having desires does not make you selfish. unless you are sonic, in which case you are not human and everything you do sickens me.

Are you a cis man feeling disgusted at the news? Good. Use that. Talk to your fellow men about what you're going to do to make our industry and our world safer. And then actually do it. You may lose friends or opportunities, but a better and safer industry and world starts with you.

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

I'm not super excited about blurry 50 fps gaming where it takes your $3000 gpu several frames to converge light into a discernible picture. I love how great games got to look but the tradeoffs we took aren't very good imo We need nice baked GI again that runs on a laptop you found behind a dumpster

As workers, our strength comes from our solidarity and our labor... and the right and threat of withholding it. Games don't get made without us. The bosses know this, too. As CWA says: when we fight, we win.

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.

if you want shit to get better you HAVE to look for opportunities to leverage what little power you have towards that goal. you must. the world will not improve if people simply sigh and do nothing.

the most depressing person to argue with about AI is the doomer types who're like "AI is bad and ruining everything but also it's never going away so there's no point in getting upset when ppl use it". Like.... you have pre-emptively chosen to be a person who will not fight for a better world
