I’m developing DUNEOPOLIS, - a hybrid cyberpunk film/game set in futuristic Middle East. This is an on-going introduction to its concept & production prior to Early Access release this Fall 2023. #art #gamedev #portfolioday 🏙
🎤 I’m rescheduling Early Access release of DUNEOPOLIS to 2025 & resuming dev updates, - catch up on intro 🧵 below & standby for progressive release of new artwork, trailer, playable demo & wishlisting on Steam 🔜 , inshaAllah! bsky.app/profile/moha...
🎯 I hope to see Gen-Z catch the bug for personal websites to ensure they have *some* online autonomy left.
Personal websites would be the way to go - these days social media handles aren't future proof... I regret putting a "tweet" button in past games for example lol.

This is the way, I’d even go further and include social media handles in the credits.

There seems to be a CPU bottleneck when #unrealengine saves large volumes of static meshes from memory to disk, due to lack of multithreading support.
Simply saving a level with 10k+ generated static meshes takes hours because only 2.5% of CPU is used for this basic task.
Please note, UE devs.

One way to stop refugees is not burning down their countries.
Refugees’ jewellery could be seized to pay for asylum costs, says Home Office minister
Refugees’ jewellery could be seized to pay for asylum costs, says Home Office minister
Idea borrowed from Denmark is latest attempt to reduce number of refugees coming to UK
Refugees could have jewellery or other valuables taken to pay for the costs of processing their cases, a Home Office minister has said, in another detail of changes to migration policy likely to cause worries among Labour MPs.
Speaking to broadcasters before the formal announcement of sweeping changes to asylum policy on Monday, the Home Office minister Alex Norris said while this would not involve seizing wedding rings, jewellery without sentimental value could be taken. Continue reading...

Every time you use AI slop in your game, even as a placeholder, even if it's supposed to be temporary, you're helping to destroy the video game industry little by little.

Everyone knows Blade Running Man would never drive to his destination.
WHAT BLADERUNNER WOULD'VE DRIVEN
Y'know, Bladerunner! The title character from Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic Bladerunner!
Oh that wacky Bladerunner, always up to his shenanigans! What wacky predicaments WILL Bladerunner and his sidekicks, the Bladerunner Kids, get into next?

I think it was Ed Pressman, film producer who said the biggest factor in creative success is staying in the ring the longest.
idk who needs to hear but: you’ll get there. it will happen. it may not look the way you expect or feel the way you wanted. but if you keep working it will happen

We don’t need to overcomplicate James Bond, - it’s a 2-hour sports-car & cigarette commercial that values style over substance, - and that’s fine, - cinema is a spectrum.

We need a different mechanism for crediting & licensing creative work, - current legal & distribution systems are simply unable ( and/or unwilling ) to protect professionals.
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Unironically true, - evolution in UGC will allow for some wildly interesting experiments developed by massive teams working asynchronously.
So if we can just get everyone on earth involved we can hit AAAAAAAAAA gaming
