this is the most important piece of video game writing since the original SBI piece. read it, and realize that if you're not in the industry, you're being sheltered from a firing squad that picks targets randomly and with impunity, ruining lives with wild abandon

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Being seeing more artists, creators, podcasters pick up on this and I love that we are letting the audience know that refusing to use GenAi isn't just an indicator of inherent quality but a demand to have some personal integrity about our work.
I want to see more of it in the future.

We openly blocked bigots, racists & homophobes on social channels for one project. The result? Huge social channel growth, record MAU, positive sentiment shift.
By avoiding challenging the tiny sliver of the toxic players, you're sacrificing the retention of your larger audience

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.

As a kid, I wanted to make games, but dad convinced me to learn physics. For 15 years, I studied arcane symbols, listened to sages, and risked my life among the particle beams. When I was able to derive parton distributions from naught but symmetries of space, I ran off to join a c̶i̶r̶c̶u̶s̶ game studio.

Doors! Cryptic Studios, 2015(ish?). I'm working on expanding path-finding for some upcoming games, building on top of path finding used in Neverwinter, fixing some bugs along the way and optimizing the search. Everything's going smoothly. I get to testing how AI responds to changes in nav graph.->
Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2".
I wrote it up over on Mastodon (I find it's better at long threads):

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”
