i've been saying, one path forward for the mid-budget games industry is just... going and making expansions to popular old games. there's a market here. bring back the era of outsourced expansion packs. i'm so serious.

the combat in onimusha is super satisfying but i still wish it was 50% less filler and boss health + stamina pools were smaller i am confident in my abilities but most boss fights feel like they go on for far too long i like that there’s phases and huge move sets! save something for boss rematch.

The Internet, Social Media and AI are facilitating the churning out of obscene atrocity denial propaganda to deterritorialised global audiences in a way that feels unlike any prior epoch, and I feels like nobody in power is even willing to confront that because they expect to exploit it themselves.

pretty alright! funny in a good way but not really scary. propulsive plotting, great set pieces. fun winks at night of the living dead’s farmhouse, diehard, etc. nice to see the monster designs veer away from RE video games in many instances. i’d easily watch another cregger RE film if he made one

Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ

that’s a wrap on my 2nd tour of duty at ubisoft toronto if you ever get the chance to work here, you will be joining some of the smartest, kindest, snackiest and whackiest people out there — do take the opportunity if you get it i’ll miss them all so much! wait until you see what they’re doing.

This really puts stuff like publicly funded third spaces in perspective for me. It's so relatively cheap to build out community centers, gyms, makerspaces, studios etc.

"There is no joy or sense of accomplishment. No pride in making something clever or quickly, and all progress is associated with the AI and not with you. Everyone hates this. Most of devs my age are planning early retirement and are just waiting to be laid off."

Our dev speed has ~5x almost overnight

Quality has not gone down because we're all experienced devs and we're careful how we use AI and we don't let it make decisions regarding project structure or design patterns. However, I'm seeing less and less glaring mistakes made by the AI.

We're still reviewing generated code but I suspect not for long, the code is better than what most devs I know can write, at 20x the speed. The temptation to just push and move on is huge and irresistible.

There is no joy or sense of accomplishment. No pride in making something clever or quickly, and all progress is associated with the AI and not with you.

The market is dead. Nobody has money to spend. We're still working but leads have dropped off a cliff.

There is no going back. If we stop using AI we'll be out of business in a month.

There is no space for junior devs. I honestly don't know how to incorporate a junior into a team anymore (which is something I used to do for decades). Every time we tried they just become a meat proxy for AI while learning nothing, and getting in the way.

Everything regarding managing a team and a project has changed, and nobody knows how to do it anymore. I lost the ability to correctly estimate work required for a task, for example.

Everyone hates this. Most of devs my age are planning early retirement and are just waiting to be laid off.

People that use AI for coding don't learn anything. To understand code you have to write it, and nobody is writing it. Maybe understanding and reading code will become obsolete soon? I don't know.

Everyone I asked feel they are becoming dumber and losing their focus. I know I am.

the halo studios stuff and the halo 2 tease is bizarre to me now because… what was the plan? ship a single and coop PVE halo in UE5 (without core MP suite) to prove out some of your pipelines and get directors and leads in place and then gut the rest of the team? now what? change your tooling?

shedding staff and consolidating into buckets of IP looks great for P&L but it will not be great for the outcomes players care about, nor for the labour that is supposed to underpin all of this

bungie news is cool i think restoring old content is neat (if only for narrative “completeness”) and a more gradual first time use experience OTOH, even based on napkin sketches and my failing memory won’t unvaulting the red war require some hefty gameplay systems realignment to modern D2 spec?

Nardin confirms it’s falsified bullstuff

Julia Nardin, CD on Marathon at Bungie posts a tweet on her personal twitter account. It reads:

“As someone who’s worked on both Destiny and Marathon, I can confirm that the “leak” about us merging the two IPs is fake. They share a lot of the same Bungie DNA, but like siblings they’re also their own independent entities. Please don’t believe everything you read online. [green heart emoji]”
