Former Elder Scrolls Online devs just launched Sackbird Studios—employee-owned, self-funded, and delightfully unpolished (check that MS Paint homepage 🎨). Small team, big ambitions, zero corporate mandates. Hoping this one sticks. 🐦

Looks like a Cryengine community version is in the works as no word om Cryengine 6 but some limitations still apply as it’s not fully open sourced.
Cryengine Community Edition
Games from scratch just reported about the current Cryengine 5.7 being updated by the community into its own community edition. Since Crytek has no word about the next update to Cryengine 6 this is a semi open-source solution to take the Cryengine forward. A previous forked happened with Lumberyard as a fork of Cryengine 3. But Amazon did not managed to make it as mainstream as Unity or Unreal and spun it off to its own open sourced project O3DE.

This , this, 1000% this!

GenAi companies, wether they be OpenAi, Meta, Google and so on, are absolutely out of control.

However, WE have so much power in our hands if we just pay attention, call, send letters, and vote! Yes, even in this messed up era.
Mark Zuckerberg has a vision for how A.I. could be used in Meta's universe.

But the actor and filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt is here to point out a flaw in the technology: an apparent lack of guardrails around how the company's chatbot interacts with underage users. nyti.ms/3ILwCNo

Spent months fighting Unity's C# just to make a simple vampire survivors clone 😅
Switched to Unreal Engine 5 + Blueprints and built my UI system in 2 days vs weeks in Unity.
Sometimes the "wrong" engine choice is actually right for YOU as a developer 🎮
#UnrealEngine #Unity #GameDev #IndieGameDev
Pivot to Unreal Engine for future projects
After months of struggling with Unity's C# requirements, I made the switch to Unreal Engine 5. Instead of spending weeks learning programming concepts and debugging templates, Unreal's opinionated structure and Blueprint visual scripting let me build a complete UI system in just 2 days. Here's why matching your engine to your skillset matters more than following industry trends.

Dan Carlin on why (in this age of AI) people are increasingly seeking out real-life experiences:

"As it becomes harder and harder to tell what's real and what's not, I think human beings start to seek authenticity. Maybe old time theater comes back... maybe this creates a thirst for authenticity."

Gamers buy on emotion, not logic. They'll grab your metroidvania too "for later." Price for your value, not your fear. Big releases create opportunity, not competition 🎮
