I think it's taken me like 20 years to truly internalize why creativity thrives under constraints I used to conflate creativity with some notion of competence and the ability to realize your vision, but creativity is more about being able to find a meaningful artistic path in spite of constraints

i think my hottest game dev pro opinion rn is that both these things are true: the status quo of game development best practices is breaking down at scale. a lot of gospel needs to be challenged genai is often the least ethical, least humane, most anticreative and antilabor path to change possible

Hello! Are you a game developer who has been impacted by restrictive or confusing contract clauses that essentially prevent you from working on side projects in your own time? If so, I'd love to chat with you (anonymously or otherwise) for a report I'm working on for @gamedeveloper.bsky.social!
