for context here is my own open world city computer software product that I currently spend 12 hours a day staring at. It's about horses. It looks like fucking shit and I think that's also cool

I get that not everyone's special interest is game art and what computers are now capable of rendering in realtime but I mean LOOK AT THIS HOW IS THIS A REAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE PRODUCT. Fuckin kudos to the five hundred trillion developers whose fingerprints are on this thing

I know if I worked there, I'd feel like my work is written off as popular-slop on here, with no interest in celebrating its artistic merit oh and also the people who ARE celebrating your work? The worst gamer chuds on the planet, lurking in the typa forums you wouldn't even go with a gun.

another reason why being a dev at r* must suck: You work for a company you cannot trust - years spent breaking your back to create some of the best game tech/art humanly possible, and rather than that work being celebrated on places like this? It instead feels like an incredibly uncool thing to like

quick elephant in the room check!! Do I hate it when developers get blatantly fired for trying to unionize while working at the Already Being Overworked Factory? Of course I do. Reminder that Rockstar and Take Two are run by total shitheads. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Lil nervous about JUST how linear it looks, but one thing I loved about RDR2's narrative (that a lot of RPG's tend do as well) are times when the pacing feels less like a movie or TV show and more similar to idk, a book? Just characters existing in the world. This looks to have that same tone

Jay @ ENIGMA|STUDIO (tolt.horse) @enigmastud.io · 28/08/2026
If they can bring over the best parts of RDR2's focus on immersion while avoiding some of its fuckass redundant game design (seriously RDR2 had one billion mechanics that straight up Did Not Matter Or Sometimes Even Work), then that's a world I'm DYING to spend endless time in.

Jay @ ENIGMA|STUDIO (tolt.horse) @enigmastud.io · 28/08/2026
It's so good to hear that they're focusing on giving more weight to the smaller things you do, sorta like they did going from San Andreas to 4. There's no point in going deeper on detail if you're not also going deeper in interaction

Genuinely I found GTA VI mindblowing. Absolutely exceeded my expectations for what was possible with a base PS5. Defo a Rockstar flavour of open world but sure only they can make games like this. If this works the way people are saying it does, then there's totally never been a game like this before

God damn what a great time for videos about making videos gaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u37... slight gripe I have is not showing more pixel art as it would have appeared on a CRT, but 10/10 genuinely

Xbox Wire post about the Gears of War controllers is like "commemorate the tragic brutal loss of life of E-Day with a sick controller dude, it is what the dead would want." Anyway, Xbox is still on the BDS boycott list

Buying ram a few days back. 64GB for €950. Thought I'd sleep on it. Woke up the next day. It was €1250. A literal overnight price hike of THREE HUNDRED QUID. Would make ya sick.

Does anybody have an online shirt/merch distributor that they're happy with? I've been with teespring for a while now and they're literally the worst in every possible way (and even a few impossible ones)

If you're wondering why TÖLT is taking so long, it currently contains over 10,000 lines of dialogue so far (and I'm not even close to done). 😭

Anybody know of a gaming laptop they'd recommend? (specifically for game development). I need a new Windows laptop and I'm not even certain a good one exists

Jay @ ENIGMA|STUDIO (tolt.horse) @enigmastud.io · 03/06/2026
I THOUGHT THIS TOO. There's a definite chance that at least a few people making this played your game and brought some inspiration into an actual Silent Hill game, how potentially sick is that

Window shopping for adobe software (i know I know) and doing a quick Ctrl+F for "AI" on the Buy page revealed a disgusting density of the term. You really have to wonder what percentage of Adobe's userbase is actually interested in this crap. Like how is this not just totally alienating your users?
