Would people be interested in a thread of UX, UI and graphic design resources? Been sharing some fonts and other bits and bobs around but I thought I could make a bit of a thread if people would find it useful ☺️
Okay! 1x Design resource thread coming up! 🫡
For context I've been a UX Designer for ~7yrs and working in games for 4. I'm constantly learning / finding stuff and no magically perfect unicorn ninja design guy but this is some stuff I've found useful! Feel free to add your own stuff in replies! ✨

I’m honestly pretty good at helping arrange UIs and other game screens to make the hierarchy clear and making important info accessible 😌
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Keep getting a gemini ad that "helps" someone jumpstart a car and if you think I'm trusting an AI over a random 2minute YoutTube video with 5million views and the worst voiceover ever, you've got another thing coming

Fucking hell. Sucks for all, but very sad about Twisted Pixel. Fuck Meta/Zuckerberg.
Update: Meta has shut down three game studios and laid off all employees.
-Armature, the devs behind the VR port of Resident Evil 4
-Twisted Pixel, the studio that made Deadpool VR
-Sanzaru, which developed Asgard's Wrath 1 and 2.

in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping

Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."
