DELTARUNE WINTER Newsletter Time! We're sending it out now, but it takes a good while to process hundreds of thousands of emails. Fortunately there's a cheat code to look at it whenever you want. Ha ha ha ha.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

"oh, we just use it as reference for the final artwork, that's all" your reference is boring as fuck. the sonic adventure devs flied out to peru on sega's paycheck and got to visit real ancient ruins, citadels, and jungles. that's the kinda shit that inspires someone to do genuine work
The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Fuck every single one of these assholes. Once again, this is *literally* what the Nazis did.
The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.
Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)
Indie Dev discovers the game they're making basically already exists, worried of being deemed a ripoff. Original dev responds.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

I finished annotating (most of) the translation with 8-4's assistance. I skipped a couple unfinished parts, but it's enough for the translator to properly start work on Monday! Yay!

Valve and Nintendo will collaborate on “absolutely nothing” later today.
There will be “no details, whatsoever” announced because, as my source puts it, “They literally aren't doing anything together. Stop messaging me.”
It remains to be seen what - if anything - this collaboration is about.

Before i can explain the origins, I have to preface something first:
Play It Loud was mostly a US thing, certain bits of it went into the UK and some other parts of the world but it was US centered. Japan never saw this at all as far as I'm aware. In fact when I say "Nintendo", assume I mean NOA.

Now that's Winter, I'm thinking about NEWSLETTER. But I haven't written anything for one yet...
Right now, my energy is going towards preparing Chapter 5 for localization. The translation process begins next week. We have extracted all the English text and we are now annotating it.

New commercial from Fangamer! I wrote the spoken text, but I didn't end up seeing most of the visuals until the commercial was basically finished. Steve and Everdraed did an amazing job with them. (Also, it goes without saying, but commercials are non-canon.)
