Everyone in creative work for hire knows most of the job is clients asking you for something bad and stupid and you figuring out how to make something completely different while convincing them it's what they asked for. The AI era means everyone gets to see what clients actually want

A good start. Currently using a POM, but I don't think I'll keep it. Or maybe keep it for EPIC graphics. #CherubDev #UE5

I think Godzilla should be the blueprint for long-running IPs. Screw canon, give your country's most exiting directors free reig, have multiple conflicting universes, use whichever lore you want and whichever you don't. But I don't think modern fandom culture has the maturity to embrace that.

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse
kayinnasaki

written about this before but whatever.

Videogames as an artform have a problem with nostalgia. Not that people shouldn’t have nostalgia. Or that games shouldn’t draw from the past. But instead the weight we give to nostalgia.

When people go back to enjoy old games, we assume it’s a nostalgia thing. Do people assume that with books? Or movies? Or music? People certainly do go back in time with  those mediums for nostalgia! It happens! I know when my sister is listening to certain cheesy old boyband pop or punk she’s often having a musical nostalgia trip! That’s cool! But we still don’t ASSUME, CONSTANTLY thats why people go back to stuff.

People like old stuff because it’s cool and interesting. It’s historic. People go watch Metropolis still, but how many people alive could even be nostalgic for a movie like that?

I almost want to see the word Nostalgia excised from discussions about video games – not because nostalgia is bad but because we over use it to the point where it’s actually harmful I think.

I mean I made IWBTG and am making an NES style game right now and even for me, the obsession with ‘nostalgia’ seems crazy.

Old stuff is cool. I know this because I see a lot of you kids on my tumblr feed talking about games I know you didn’t grow up with. It’s like finding your parents record or CD collection. Thinking the primary greatness of old games is bringing back memories of eating cereal and playing games on a saturday morning is a great injustice, even if those memories for some are perfectly worthwhile things.

Skullgirls suffered *period*. It was an ill-planned pursuit from day one, which exists today in spite of the very flawed but very skilled people that made it. Caring about it felt noxious at a certain point.

Creating pictures using evolutionary algorithms is really neat. This is an idea going back to like 1991. Rather than theft as genAI is, this algorithm itself is art in exactly the same way DemoScene programming is art. When intentionality exists, procedurality comes from the creator.

tech bros treat art the same way a 2 month old baby treats the world in general, always looking for comfort and pleasure. you can't explain to a guy like this that 'music' isn't a synonym of 'pleasant sounds', that there are reasons beyond 'this is comfortable to my senses' to appreciate art

Beat my first run of Sprawl Zero yesterday and started an NG+ run today. MAETH has gone from merely adopting retro FPS conventions to sitting down and dictating some of its own. Incredible glowup, hat's off to everyone involved.
