Been seeing a lot of videos promoting Chat GPT Astra making One Shot games. like it or not the technology is here to stay and be part of the developmental process?

Here are my thoughts after watching the video and trying out some of these AI games.

Dev Log Series of Projects

Bottom line My take is Death Stranding 1&2 didn’t really hit the marks for SONY. And also a retreat from PC and Single player games is causing SONY to reevaluate PlayStation portfolio. Kojima is also AAA prestige gaming in 2026 which means high budget like Movie Director James Cameron which is a gamble but can brings some prestige to the platform. I think this is a clear win for Xbox as Asha Sharma reshapes the platform's strategy. Xbox has an opportunity to relaunch and gain ground in japan and gaming pc and console.

saw this post on Gaming on Linux about the Carbon engine go open sourced on GitHub, used in their games EVE Online and EVE frontier. Fenris Creations (Formerly known as CCP Games) made the announcement a while back, my guess this is something to do with the Google team up for AI and then going independent again. it’s good for open source but the engine like Dagor is in Parts and probably not worth looking at it now until they release the template or how to use it, this would probably interest game engines developers but not general developers wanting to make games, as there is no editor.

As an industry, we’ve neglected our players and abused our staff to focus on ever increasing profits projections,” he says.

Friend slop is in this trend of playing with friends and doing hilarious things. The game was made by two developers in two months and became a hit. It’s similar to lethal company where you play with friends and find hilarious moments. These get clipped onto YouTube and TikTok creating viral marketing loops for the game.
