Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

diegetic UI is tricky but also so rewarding! Love when games feel like toys 🥰

Another glimpse behind the scenes of making Horses of Hoofprint Bay: We're currently improving on the horse trader visuals. While parts of the game were polished for the announcement trailer, a lot of features currently still consist of sketches and placeholders! (see alt text for more info!)
Screenshot of the horse breeder menu in Horses of Hoofprint Bay. This is how the feature looks and works in the engine/build already. Buttons on the left say Cover Mare, Buy Horse, Sell Horse and Board Horse. Two Windows are labelled "Select Mare" and "Select Stallion" and show options for each, showing the horses' strength and endurance stats as well as their age (in in-game rounds) Screenshot of a rough digital sketch, dark brown lines on grey background, of what the horse breeder menu should look like. There are horses in individual stalls on the top left, an info panel on the bottom right, a side view of a horse on the top right, and an empty space with a question mark on the bottom left. Sketch of what visiting the breeder should look like, from the outside: there is a 2d lineart drawing of a woman in a hoodie, her hair in a ponytail on the bottom left. A stable building stands slightly further back. Pasture fences run into the background behind the woman. Screenshot of how the scene is coming together in-engine. One horse (in final in-game cartoon visuals) stands in the top right section of the screen, other horses' heads are visible in the top left section. A rough portrait sketch of a woman overlays the image from the bottom left corner. An info panel for the horse of the right is visible at the bottom right of the screen, showing the horse's name (Nelli), age, and stats. There is a "Buy Horse" button underneath a "Price: 2604" label

The good thing about everyone being so fucking tired of genAI slop is that you can just show your work and go "look at this, we made it by hand!!" and you're already adding value to people's lives with it💖

did you hear about the time I gave a talk at a local game festival about an old horse game that I loved and can no longer play and then the upload of that talk on youtube butterfly effected into this game getting made seven years later?

sometimes the creators of your childhood favorite games refuse to re-release or remaster their 20yo game despite it being a massive success at the time and you just have to take matters into your own hand 😌
Screenshot from the 2003 PC game My Horse Farm, showing a cartoony 2D horse in its stall, stat bars for health, strength and food/water are visible at the bottom of the screen Screenshot from the just-announced PC game Horses of Hoofprint Bay, showing a hand-drawn 2D horse standing in front of a paddock, tied to a hitching post.

I'm not sure my non-horsey audience is appreciating what is happening in this clip. Are people generally aware that

a) horses are social animals and groom each other, i.e. scratch each other's backs with their mouths

and b) that that behavior has probably never been represented in a video game?
