Remedy continues to demonstrate that narrative is worthy of investment. People want stories. Good stories take time, expertise and patience/trust from devs who are less au fait with its mechanics (because it IS every bit as mechanical and design heavy as every other aspect of your game).

This was a fascinating exercise: find out what went wrong with creativity in the games industry. The conclusion: there are too many cowards controlling too many critical levers, and until we figure out how to put people -taste, creativity, and craft- back at the top, we're going to be stuck.

For @mothership.blog, I talked to over a dozen caretakers about the reality of being a caretaker while working in games. The short of it? It's *very* difficult. Here's a glimpse of the current experience, its consequences, and coveted standardized practices: www.mothership.blog/the-games-in...

Ok I have more bad takes: one of my worst takes is that I always feel a twinge of suspicion at all of the "you need to kill your ego/you need to allow yourself to be brutalized by criticism/you are bad/your ideas are bad" takes that tend to accompany most game design ethos manifestos.

The only way forward against LLM and genAI is: more Your game, your story, your ideas have to crazier, funnier, more violent, more chill, more whatever you're trying to achieve. There's no neutrality is our world.

Suites aux annonces catastrophiques venant de M. Yves Guillemot (plan de réductions des coûts, projets tués, arrêt du télétravail, etc.), la section Solidaires Informatique appelle à un débrayage ce Jeudi 22 Janvier matin.
Nous appelons les salarié-es d'Ubisoft Paris à 1/2 journée de grève, avec les revendications:
• fin du plan de réduction des coûts,
• maintien et extension des conditions du télétravail
• des augmentations décentes pour l’année qui vient

Ceci est une première réponse à l'absurdité des décisions managériale.
D'autres mouvements de grève sont actuellement discutés. Il est hors de question de laisser un patron en roue libre démolir nos conditions de travail. Peut être faut il lui rappeler que ce sont ses salarié-es qui font les jeux.

‘everyone in gamedev is using AI’ the business dumdums are using it to generate decks and write bad copy. They think it’s good because they think their basic lore ideas make a good game. that’s it that’s who is using AI

Stop using AI for placeholder assets. Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else. If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT
