Thank you Snutt! You did such a fantastic job communicating with and fostering the Satisfactory community. Sad to see you go but very excited to see what you do next! And hopefully you get some well-deserved rest in the meantime :)

World generation models are going to be a pretty big deal for game dev. Once consumer hardware is good enough to run realtime inference, these could replace the entire game engine. A game could be a world model with a set of composed prompts. #gamedev #genie2 #genAI deepmind.google/discover/blo...

So gameplay may not be king but it’s definitely important

So if you care about maximally authentic artistic expression in games, don’t just rely on the art/graphics and story.

Double hot take: gameplay is the only thing that differentiates games from other art forms.

stardew valley puts a wizard in your rural farming town and he sometimes does magic but his main thing is he had a messy divorce

I’m ashamed to admit it has taken me this long to sit down and play it, but I can now confirm: half-life 2 lives up to the hype

Highly recommend! I’m sure you’ve heard it many times but try to avoid spoilers if you can ::)

The game is Outer Wilds and the NPC is Gabbro. Time buddies in this life and the next!

I know it’s trendy to dunk on genAI, especially in games, but part of me wonders if we just haven’t seen it done right yet

AAA studios are struggling, not because they're going "woke". Indie game devs are creating better games with more replayability for $30-40. AAA studios release half a game for $70. I feel bad for these incredibly talented devs when it's obviously a management issue.

Games that are excessively spoon-fed can be just as bad! The best games have a smooth on-ramp but also don’t treat the player like an idiot

I’ve been using it for 3D modeling/animation when making assets for my games. I’m no expert though, it’s a powerful tool in the right hands!
