33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.
The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

On ne se rend pas assez compte de ce qui arrive. Il n'y a pas tant d'employeurs que ca en France, c'est un gros morceaux qui a pris, dans un contexte où en 2025 il y avait une baisse de 50% des offres d'emploi, alors qu'on continue de saluer l'ouverture de nouvelles écoles privées du JV.

games are made by people with complex feelings and dumb thoughts and complicated relationships in different political climates with the urge to create and the need to play and we should want to see all of that in videogames

🏴Rappel : le #1erMai est la journée internationale des travailleurs et des travailleuses, instaurée en 1889, en commémoration d'ouvriers grévistes de Chicago tués par la police. Le terme "Fête du travail" a été imposé par Pétain, pour effacer sa dimension conflictuelle avec le patronat.

Anyway I found this quote pretty interesting because we used to talk about procedural generation as the solution for this - but studios found it cheaper and easier to just hire more people and crunch for longer. PCG had a setup cost, whereas generative AI has a cost in quality at the other end.

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮
