Saying it for maybe the 50th time: Do not accuse someone of using AI unless you have ABSOLUTELY AIRTIGHT proof, because if not, you're just adding to the paranoia and causing stress for hard-working artists. And yes, going onto social media and going 'Hrrm, I've no proof, but...' is an accusation.

My take is, if execs want to erase the fun of the concepting phase by using AI, then maybe they need to take a moment and think about whether they actually enjoy their job anymore. There are plenty of other people who would excitedly take on the job given the opportunity.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

I’m not great at posting at all. I’m probably quite late to it and people know all about this but if you have the capacity you should read Cobalt Red by Siddharth Kara. It’s about cobalt mining in the DRC. It’s harrowing and not an easy read but I think necessary.

I want to make it very clear that the art and skill set I have are 100% compatible with a PC first approach. I have helped port several games to PC such as Assemble with Care, Monument Valley 1 & 2 as well as helped the workflow for MV3 to be compatible with PC/console from the beginning.

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment. It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Any London based game devs out there, I think this would be an important demo to show up to if you can. The UK industry has to show Rockstar and Take Two higher ups that union busting will not be tolerated.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.
