pcgamer's review of Ace Combat 8 directly addresses this. it is uniquely bandai us who wanted to be racist as hell, because ace combat 8 instead is fucking *fascinating* instead. hell yeah ty pcgamer for confirming we're so back i guess?

now i’m not going to say ace combat 8 is going to be insanely racist but i will say its funny to have a bunch of people worried about sotoa being depicted as a bunch of religious extremists and other racist MENA tropes and for bandai us to prove those fears not without merit two weeks before launch

Three days left to get our pack of 13,000 human-made game dev assets for just $10! Every sale helps us to keep making more sprites, sounds and fonts in future: ci.itch.io/all-game-ass...

The trade offer meme, on the left it says I receive $10, food, bills paid. On the right it says you receive 13,000 hand-made game assets.

Please read the entire thread. Excellently puts into words the general malaise I've been feeling about not just game development, but programming in general.

Keighley's disinterest in excluding AI trailers really devalues the whole thing. These events are rarely to my taste, but the experience of watching "ONL" was one of watching slop. Even non-AI games are tainted by the association — we have to second-guess, every time.

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

The fantasy of Ace Combat is becoming something greater than human — faster, stronger, more beautiful and terrible. This journey has consumed me. Have you ever known that you are a triumph? youtu.be/5Cr0p0SmDxU

making ace combat is so easy. first of all you just need to get a top 3 composer in the business. after that it pretty much falls into place.

watched jacob geller's videos on ace combat. more excited for working in the genre than ever before new personal terror tho like one of my favorite media theorists (i used him in the classroom!!!) is now looking at my favorite genre and may look at my work. that's scary. hope he likes it lol.

More people should give Nova Squadron a try when its V.5 comes out for a demo, Clara does a lot of really cool gameplay forward things advised by the loop of her missions and you'll find that NS is probably one of the most consistent feeling of the Acelikes even at this stage

adding this as a comment here in case someone tries to use this reasoning to harass individual artists. not every bsky post is a call for dragging out the online activism pillory/stocks. try engaging in analysis/theory without weaponizing it for once please bsky.app/profile/sola...

thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data

Experimental urban destruction. There's some stuff I need to polish, but its surprisingly performant for what it is. That being said, doing any sort of real time mesh editing is a pain in the ass and I nearly blew my brains out twice trying to do this. It works tough and I'm okay.

just slapped 10 enemies with poorly made pathfinding in to see how it felt performance wise and didn't notice much of an impact. they also can be killed now instead of Just Standing There.

The male and female versions of the Commander player character from Girls Frontline 2 are embracing each other romantically. Klukai is trapped behind a door, screaming incoherently while trying and failing to pull it open.
