Well, we did it - more than $250k for game devs who have been laid off, to be distributed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who donated their time, games, and money to help folks out in a time of need.

As someone who has professionally run thousands of hours of D&D for entertainment: NPCs should be flavorful, memorable, and provide the player with what they need to have high agency. LLM AI chatbots have a hard time doing all three, especially over a duration.

ANUBIS: whoa, whoa, easy there. let's not make any hasty decisions. or do anything we might regret. my name is anubis, what's yours? imhotep. nice to meet you imhotep. now we're talking to each other. we're friends. so how about you put down the gun, let the girl go, and i'll put away my feather.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

a meme — the top says “My dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life together” and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the “before,” he’s scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the “after,” he’s clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.

Reminder that video game journalism cannot exist without functioning newsrooms that have the capacity to mentor and train new talent and the bandwidth to pursue long-form investigative pieces and break news—all while paying writers a living wage.

Ah a new TTRPG might help me with anxiety over current events

CHAPTER ONE
WELCOME TO THE ELECTRIC STATE
What we're doing isn't civilized, I know that.
But I know it must have happened to you too. Like me, you must have woken up one day and suddenly realized the inevitable: we no longer live in civilized times.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder

“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

People use “TGA” to stand for the award that “The Game Awards” awards which means when someone says a game “won a TGA” they are saying it “won a The Game Award”

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Credits for Brent Porter (3D art lead) and Catherine Menabde (2D art lead) are shown here. There's a lengthy description of what they did, with a pastiche of various Demonschool characters underneath, messing around with a computer.
