Le "tabou", ici, c'est le travail de sape du macronisme: en 8 ans, ce Président aura méthodiquement asséché le financement de l'audiovisuel public, puis supprimé sa principale source de financement. Volontairement ou non, il crée ainsi les conditions de l'avènement d'un régime illibéral.

Are you prepared to make Important Choices?
A man in traveller’s clothing and a small, stout lizard man in a waistcoat stand on the overgrown ruins of a train platform on an alien planet. The following dialogue options are visible on screen: 1. You shouldn’t say “could of”. It’s supposed to be “could’ve”. It’s a contraction - short for “could have”. 2. (It doesn’t bother you that much - let the mistake slide) 3. (It bothers you very much but you only just met him and you don’t want to be one of THOSE people)

OMG I'm sitting in a hotel lobby in Tokyo listening to two AI salespersons talk way too loud about which game companies "have their shit together", aka which ones are buying into AI. Anyway, good on GameFreak for "definitely not having their shit together" ♥️

[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.] JANET: Ugh... LIZ: What's up?

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

the appeal is "what if you didn't have to talk to those gross people who dedicated their life to lowly crafts like using photoshop, writing process, or coding instead of doing something truly valuable like networking at clubs with hedge fund managers and being given a cushy job at the top of a bank"

something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end

business person: there should be a game where you can shoot zombies with shotgun people might buy that

*experienced specialist team makes a hundred thousand decisions expertly about how to develop something compelling that fits those 2 criteria*

business person: I did it everyone look what I made

gen AI speaks to people who overestimate their role in the success of games they've been part of because they underestimate how specialist expertise has filtered, corrected or made great their requests in the details by why things look, sound, work how they do, protecting players from their nonsense

It's purely managers wanting to live in a world where ideas guys write a prompt and a fully-formed game comes out of the machine (and people buy that slop because their ideas are soooo goooood of course). I don't ascribe it serious motives. It's coming from a place of hating creatives, period.

This is peak fucking Animator right here

You got a problem? You solve the problem with style.

Never do "the best you can" to emulate something other games have done better, always opt to instead overact it in a way you can fully and memorably sell

Excellent way to avoid the whole "dealing with fabric and other fancy animation stuff" while highlighting Clem's character

WIP script excerpt with "shirt" for #WIPSnips today!

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #indiegamedev #gamedev #vndev

From Catalyst: Blind Faith, my dark fantasy and #horror VN 🩸❤️
You emerge—exhausted, head splitting—out from the woods. The silhouette that you cast on the treeline is as thin as a twig. You're young. A teenager, dressed in stolen common clothes. Disguised, wanting anything other than to be seen as a member of the Church. The moment that you slow to a jog, you hide your symbol of Mercy beneath your faded linen shirt. The gold chain may yet give away your identity, but you have not abandoned the Gods. You're just tired.
