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.

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.

So, here's to another year. May this one be softer on us. Less grieving. More love. Taking the time to see friends, to write stories, to design and develop games. And thank you to everyone who contributed to my wonderful year. It wasn't that bad, eventually. Wishing you the best.

I remember losing my company, my relationship, and my mental/physical health when I took a break, years ago. The trauma prevented me for taking another break when I needed it, and I burnt out once more.
