If you follow me here for game dev stuff, I’ve moved over to the butterfly app officially. I will not be posting here anymore. I’m always open to look over portfolios, give advice, and have dumb video game takes so if you still want that, go fund me there! Thanks all! #gamedev

If you like table top rpgs and survival horror ps1 games, definitely give this game a look! Been having a blast playing it. #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity
Murder Mansion, my new tabletop game, is out now on DriveThruRPG! It's an dungeon crawler about escaping from haunted houses that want to kill you. drivethrurpg.com/product/498… #ttrpg #HorrorRPGs #IndieRPGs

It’s almost as if these ai bros don’t actually know what goes into making any form of production art let alone art for games. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.
a guide to why you should hire an artist and never pay for generative 3D services. on the left is an AI generated Squirtle model posted earlier today. on the right is a Squirtle I modeled tonight using only that one reference image. my sculpt took an hour and a half.

NOT A SINGLE COMPANY IN THIS INDUSTRY IS WORTH A FREE WEEK OF WORK. FOR EVERYONE’S SAKE PLEASE LETS COLLECTIVELY STOP AGREEING TO TESTS FFS. It’s outright worker exploitation full stop. #gamedev

At the very least all devs should ask for pay for tests. If they say no, then walk away. Please value your time more. 🙏

If you feel the need to test someone, you had BETTER be paying them for the time. What’s that? You can’t afford to pay someone for work? Then it sounds like you can’t afford to hire someone in the first place.

Do you want another “hoe your potatoes”? Because this is how we get more “hoe your potatoes” for all eternity.
CEO of Crunchyroll is advocating for AI translation. Pretty much to be expected from a soulless businessman, but I have to ask, does this man have even the first clue about what the company he is leading actually does? Because these are some baffling takes

For anyone not an old, I’m talking about the infamous bootleg Wolf’s Rain translation.

Environment Artist of 14 years here. This is how Env art do. We make as much as we can with as little as possible. If you don’t notice it while playing the game, we’ve done our job. 👍
I can't keep this knowledge to myself anymore. EVERY SINGLE ROCK on The Covenant is the same rock. EVERY ONE. ALL OF THEM. THERE IS ONE SINGLE ROCK ON THE COVENANT. NOT TWO, NOT THREE, JUST ONE. IT'S JUST ONE ROCK ROTATED, SCALED, AND MOVED AROUND.

A look into Blizzards treatment of good devs. They definitely aren’t the only company treating folks like this in the industry. Thank you for sharing your experience @NotSoLittleC 😢
so, enough time has passed now for me to talk about why i decided to leave Blizzard. a mixed year with great teammates, but a management that mistreated, lied to me, gaslit me, gave me a fake promotion, and HR that refused to help. buckle up friendos. 💪

I find it cute when gAmErS think these kinds of insults actually work against any dev who isn’t a cis white man. Nothing you say could be as bad as the shit we’ve been through in this industry 😂 #gamedev

I USED to have a lot of money in savings. Lost my first job w/no warning and have never recovered. I’ve lost my job 4 times in the span of 7 years. There’s been no time to build back before the next loss. I don’t think there’s a way I’ll be able to save enough to retire. #gamedev

Point is, this industry isn’t stable enough for us to truly survive the long term. Even IF you’re able to find work pretty quickly. You’re always having to start over. My heart seriously goes out to everyone affected by layoffs this past month.
