People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

He recuperado la fe en el futuro después de que un jefazo alemán en una reunión haya echado tremenda bronca por una cagada en un informe hecho con Copilot diciendo "¿Hecho por IA? La IA es lo que usa mi hijo para hacer dibujos de cerdos bailando flamenco, aquí quiero trabajos hecho por un ingeniero"

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is a “reimagining” of the original 1996 classic due out sometime in 2026, as that’s when the franchise celebrates its 30th anniversary. https://bit.ly/48OBzy6

So I was in Paris this week as Ubisoft invited me to check out their new generative AI tech demo.

Chris gives a really good breakdown of the experience, and I'll be talking about it in next weeks @aiandgames.com newsletter as well.

Last week the venerable @georgeosborn.bsky.social reached out with a question submitted to this @vgim.bsky.social newsletter regarding the ethical issues surrounding the use of AI in Arc Raiders.

What started as a short one paragraph response became a 4000+ word newsletter issue.
aiandgames.com AI and Games @aiandgames.com · Nov 19
The release of Arc Raiders has raised significant concerns about the ethics of utilising generative AI in a AAA game. It’s important we understand that for whatever gains AI delivers, who is losing out, and what impact does that have on the industry?

"why are games so expensive"
"why are mass layoffs happening"
"why are games getting cancelled"
"why did that popular studio close"

it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.

This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.

probably the realest thing ive ever seen posted on that website
Happy Friday everybody! I don't know why, but I feel like spilling the tea this morning, so here are some hard truths about the game industry. A lot of people who got into the industry early were terrible game developers. This shouldn't surprise people, but we used to look at numbers in the early 00's like half of all people rolling out of the game industry in the first three years as though all of those people were qualified. Hiring in this industry has almost always been untrained amateurs looking for people they like and who remind them of people they know. Most interviewers decide in the first five minutes whether they think you're worth hiring. Even the people who get training in how to interview almost never get coaching on how they do it, or real feedback on the success of their techniques. As a result, a lot of people walked in the door unqualified to do the job they were hired to do. Some of them survived for multiple cycles. Some of those were even promoted to leadership positions. There was a lot of nepotism involved - if you were friends with / had worked with the head of studio, department director, etc., then you were a known quantity and better than having to go out and find someone. Combine this with the prestige halo that comes from branding, and you have real problems. People tend to ascribe god-like powers to successful game studios - EA back in its heyday, Blizzard, BioWare. People who worked on hit games at big / known studios carried a ton of prestige - regardless of what they actually did. It's easy to say "I worked at Blizzard", and what that meant was not that you were part and parcel of the magic that made those games awesome, but simply that you were employed there; it takes hundreds, if not thousands, of people to make AAA games, and I promise you that inside every large, successful studio, there is a cadre of fuck-ups that no one has the heart, willpower, or political pull to get rid of. I've fired people with over a decade of expe…

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make
The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme

Me salen casas para comprar en las zonas que llevo 1 año mirando por Madrid que ahora que valen +50k euros mínimo de lo que valían el año pasado, esto no tiene ni sentido ya, es desesperante, la capacidad de ahorro es mas lenta que la velocidad a la que suben los precios
