absolutely banging shit right there
totally get it. From the outside I think it looks like you guys are in a good place, at this point it's basically out of your hands and you gotta just focus on getting through it on a human level. Been keeping you all in my thoughts!
lol yeah the rates on necro were awful

Working on an update for Kingdom.

New numeric glyphs to make them more readable, consistency tweaks, and *lots* of kerning updates (truly endless).

Should be out in a few days!

Competitor enters a major AI competition (RNA folding)
GPU poor so can't train an AI
Builds a "classic" eng pipeline instead. (90s tech)
Wins and beat everyone using DL 💀
Their winning "hybrid" model had an AI in it. Their original one did not and had a higher score
So they won despite the AI 😂
While many teams relied on deep learning, the winning team (jaejohn) surprised everyone with a highly optimized pipeline that revived classic template-based modeling. 👇

This would be an even more painful decision than their call to release the first chaotic alliance raid on December 24th, 2024

It’s not even the answer anyway. There’s a fuckton of games you can play right now with the budget range starting at zero, the cost of it starting at zero, and some with graphics, some without, and just all manner of videogames currently existing. Go and play them. They’re right fucking there.
I am on my knees begging Square Enix Creative Studio III to not release the next savage raid tier on December 23rd
the details are soooo good and I love how it’s a bit cloudy. definitely makes me consider eating it
yet another banger

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows
This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

For those that left #gamedev to do something else:

What was the tipping point?
What did you go on to do?
Any other insights to share?

Reskeets welcome and appreciated!
mundaneposting is the truest posting
honestly don’t know how you could be sad about seeing an inchworm

I now have an open work permit for Canada, so the types of work I can take on has really opened up! I'm now open to part-time, freelance, and contract work in addition to permanent full-time positions.

If you're interested in making engaging accessible games, I want to work with you!
My time with Ubisoft has closed, and I'm looking for new full-time work! I have game accessibility experience from indies to AAA.
