Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

The *actual* old school revival we need in RPGs is that glorious post Vampire pre D20/Magic period when everyone was putting out stuff like In Nomine, Unknown Armies and Underground.

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨
You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment.
This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

gonna be annoying about this but this is exactly why every dependency is a liability. particularly if your game relies on some service you have to pay a regular subscription for, you're now completely reliant on nothing bad ever happening to that provider for the lifetime of your product

Wild story, a font service was bought out by a US company and now they are absolutely dogshit and it'll particularly heavily affect JP games, especially service titles.

the only evidence given here that sweeney is "probably right" is microsoft's claim that 91% of its engineering teams (not individual engineers) use github copilot, a stat substantially driven by the company declaring LLM use, in their words, "no longer optional"
Sweeney is probably right that AI use - at least to some extent - is going to become ubiquitous. What might matter more is labels that reflect how AI is used - just as a coding tool, or to generate scripts, art, and voice lines wholesale?
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says Steam should drop its ‘Made with AI’ tags
‘AI will be involved in nearly all future production.’

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

I promise you you can work with a custom engine and be completely normal about it. you do not have to bang on about how BRVTAL your process is or make a random word generator read the documentation for you

the reason people still want to go indie and put themselves at tremendous risk is not wanting to put up with this kind of shit anymore. it's completely insane and completely humiliating how normal it is for companies like this to put people through all kinds of weird torture to prove their worth
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
