The video game industry being so heavily filled with programmers and artists should know how damaging and disruptive AI can be to a profession. IMPRINT is a SAG-AFTRA approved project and DWS is looking forward to the continued protection of talented artists and engineers everywhere.

HEY! HEY! Take a DEEP BREATH. Stop scrolling and just relax for a second.
Here's the intro game footage from Imprint. Feel free to close your eyes and reset (It's not super interesting to watch.) Whatever today brings, you got this.

The deep conversations, dumb debates, insane snacking, and hot takes with your best friends at 3am but there’s a budget and everyone is watching while you share your bad high school poetry.
There's a new Adventuring Academy out now on Dropout with guest Erika Ishii! Join Erika and Brennan for discussions about tabletop romance, wet beans, Elvish poetry, and so much more!

What I say: I'm going to make some quick updates to my trailer.
What I mean: I'm going to spend the next 6 hours fixing little bugs I didn't notice until I started recording footage.

The very first game I ever owned was Pokémon Red on GBC. Now I’m absolutely blown away to join the Pokémon world in this season of Netflix’s Pokémon Horizons as my favorite Elite 4 member, Rika!! LET’S DO THIS, KIDDOS!

Yeah ok, I’m doing this.
Here is some advice for aspiring game writers.
Do not come into games wanting to be a game writer with the attitude that all you are going to write are the cinematics.
Fact: a game’s story is not about the cinematics.

#screenshotSaturday for you #gamedev people. This is from the first implementation of the colorblind filter created for puzzles in the game. It uses the Cambridge Brettel '97 paper math to simulate 3 types of colorblindness. This one simulates #protonopia. Do these look different to you?

Hi. First post here, so let's see. I do 3D art on a basic low poly level most of the time and the majority are different spaceships based on or inspired by Freelancer, a 2003 PC space game. I did a bunch of them since 2009. Lemme post them from the first ones till the most recent.

shame this past week and over half the handful of new followers I had to block cos they’re just bots or accounts mass following tens of thousands of others. Been super slow for me so it’s very easy to spot the non humans in the notifications. Oh well still better than the other site.
