it is also stupid to imagine that consumers will not change how they value your products when you replace their substance with surplus, easily-available AI slop
your whole market advantage is scale, and you're actively working to decimate that
your catalog of legacy IP will not save you

humans intrinsically value doing shit. no matter how far back you go. even gilgamesh was fundamentally about some guy doing some shit
nobody stopped playing chess when computers got better at that, because it really doesn't matter that much if you value being an active participant in your own life.

THIS IS SO TRUE
i'm doing a web project right now, and the only reason i'm not using C#/SDL is because .NET is still a little too jank/cluttered for those builds, but it's getting better all the time!
C# with its manual memory management features + HPC# in Unity with burst is like. ideal

i've heard a lot of weird percussive sounds, where it seems like they're trying to avoid clashing in the mix
obviously this is an all-timer, but it feels like an exception? idk if it even plays during gameplay, haven't gotten around to it yet

people want to feel connected to the art they experience, they want to imagine there's a reality to it, and process stories are central to this
it's why tom cruise tried to kill himself on camera every time he made a mission impossible movie
this will only get more important with time

"it's important to assume every game company is using AI"
true! yes! it is important to do that! because we're past the point where you'll easily be able to tell!
and if you're not using AI, be fucking loud about it and make it clear HOW YOU MADE WHAT YOU MADE
you HAVE TO DO THIS NOW

we aren't witnessing the death of craft, but genAI is creating cultural shockwaves we have to ride with clear intent, or we'll be thrown around like a ship in a storm
the way people value commercial art will shift to be increasingly process-focused, and we have to *push that*

both of these thoughts might be deeply flawed for reasons i don't have the experience to recognize yet, i'm still learning, but if i don't get them out somewhere it is going to haunt me. and now it is done, thank you, i yield my time

my first impulse is just ('just') baking the volume mesh + slapping a realistic fake-volumetric material on the surface - but you could totally try the exact opposite, leaving it real-time and using a worse, obviously-thin material, evolving the look of PS2 light shafts with heavier dynamics
