A RED STAR SHINES OVER BRAZIL! Lula is reelected! Brazilians managed to mobilize and beat Bolsonaro, Trump, Meta, Google, Netanyahu, media oligarchs, corrupt judges, fascism, imperialism, apathy and hatred! May this victory bring hope to all our comrades fighting across the world! We can beat them

The top two frames of the slop comic are pretty much the first part of how Marx explains technological innovation to work under capitalism. But it's missing the stage where once everyone is using the same technology, you end up back at 1-year development and only breaking even again.

Anyway, I really do believe the flame of Bioware will live on in studios like Larian. I actually think that story-based games are among the most likely to survive the industry pivot towards AI. Because whatever else AI does well, great game writing is not it.

To honor one of the studios that defined PC gaming, we've republished more than 20 articles about BioWare today. The pcgamer.com homepage is dedicated to interviews, retrospectives, and making-ofs about some of the best RPGs of all time.

Epic Games claims its new "vibe coded" launcher runs 46% faster than Steam from cold start to store page AI was "used as a tool as part of [its] development process" to "rewrite the code base and be able to launch it faster across platforms" www.gamesindustry.biz/epic-games-c...

Great advice thread, really like this tip in particular. I feel this rings especially true for young, ambitious devs that believe theyโ€™re going to build the next fantasy epic on their own. You need to have ambition and a plan for your studio, but as with almost anything in gamedev: start small.

Absolutely no need for a colon. "Oh but loads of games have a title with a colon -" What was the FIRST Assassins Creed game called? The FIRST Zelda game? Game names with colons are for series, editions, and DLC. Don't give people two names to remember.

casual note that IGF submissions close in a week and a half so if you were thinking of getting a game in this year, time's running short! (It's fine if your build isn't bug-free right now, you can patch it over the course of the competition - esp if you submit via a steam key)

Aura/Moom@moomanibe.bsky.social

heyyyyy IGF submissions for this year are open! If you're making a cool indie game I would love it if you would submit it! If you're thinking about it but not sure, I outline some reasons why you might (or might not) in detail here auratriolo.com/blog/2024/09...

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.
