Game development tip!
If you’re unsure which direction to take your project, try making Halo 3. That game was very good.

People are going to try and convince you this is an accessibility win and not a massive, unworkable bandaid over doing actual accessibility work (and obviously all the other issues with AI)

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Early Access and the way they managed their community across all their updates helped humanize that team in ways that only helped Baldur’s Gate 3, weird for the studio to be so willing to throw all that goodwill away.
I think it's nice when concept art shows the evolution of people's creative processes instead of a prompt, but what do I know

For Shoreline of Infinity, I reviewed the wonderful Daughters of Nicnevin by @shonak.bsky.social 🌟 a bewitching tale of how love, magic, and community can help protect the women left behind during the Jacobite rebellion. A thoroughly good read!

Surprisingly difficult to choose out of this lot - at the time I'd have said Hyper Light Drifter, but in hindsight Hitman or Titanfall 2 I think? I've certainly went back to both of them more, but there's such a different type of game it's hard to compare.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
