Horrible and dehumanizing, it’s insane how evil these people are. These projects are clearly built to exploit the weak and those in need of real help. There is NO way this stuff is built for a good cause.

The more you think about the implications and consequences of this choice, the more depressing it gets. I’m not into any of their games, but still very depressing.
Krafton (PUBG, Subnautica, Tango Gameworks) says it is now an "AI first" company, with automated work, AI-centric HR, management systems, and workflows, in-game AI, and a full company-wide AI infrastructure.

A majority of programming will never be seen but it will be felt.
Immense time and effort programming a game doesn't appear on screen in any way but it often makes it easier to put things on screen. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since I first tried pixelart animation. Feels like forever ago and like yesterday at the same time. Every frame since then has been such delightful journey.

I will be forever grateful to Cannonball for letting us choose our favorite way to play OutRun. 🌴
In my case, with the hypothetical SEGA Genesis remix of “Shiny World” from OutRun 2, by Yousuke Yasui. Imho the absolute best song in the whole series!

Honestly disappointed at the hype around the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition. The platform has been actively hindering players and developers for more than a year now, all feedback is actively ignored, the OS gets worse with each update. Is a limited edition really enough to forgive all of that?

So I’ve been working on multiplayer for Downtown Club in the last couple of weeks, and having quite the fun. Very smooth sailing so far and, as expected, several orders of magnitude easier than writing opponents AI. Gamedev is weird.
