This has been my theory for Epic's recent "vibe code everyone loves AI" push.
Its not about developers or game tools. Its about owning a platform where you can syphon profit from the handful of hits in a sea of slop.
Cherry on top: "games" are created for the platform, for free.
Roblox is pushing AI-assisted game development *hard*, and now it's preparing to turn the firehose of games that's sparked onto PC, mobile, and console storefronts. kotaku.com/no-thank-you-robl…

Our HANDMADE adventure, Harold Halibut, will soon be able to come with you wherever you go.
We're excited to announce that we are bringing Harold and the residents of the FEDORA to Nintendo Switch 2 on November 12! 🐟
I’m boiling water & heating pasta sauce for my kids as they hustle to finish their homework since they just got home from sports.
And this fucking guy is talking about letting Iran take out LA & SD? To cheers?!
We’re just people living, working, raising kids, trying to do good.
There’s a 100% chance reading the full transcript will make you dumber. It’s extremely clear what he said about LA and SD.
The transcript is on rollcall.com

The President of the United States calling on our enemies to take out an American city is treason.

The animation count for "jump" might surprise you. Here is a quick clip of the bare minimum anims used in my games Jump system. More variations still to come.
This is so absolutely brilliant. Dammit, Kevin!
I made a book to learn animation by actually moving stuff on activity pages: stopmotionbook.com
It's a digital download so you can print it at home :)

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Heres my Bone process breakdown from my hand drawn roughs, to the hand inked cleans and hand composited final. All 2D animation done by hand in @TVPaint_Anim for fun.

Got to visit the Sage statue while it was still being built. Seeing the incredible amount of work and care our CN team put into this was seriously inspiring.
So proud of this #VALORANTChampions team.

The hand keyed Ratatoskr Intro in #GodofWarRagnarok was full of technical & creative challenges:

The fact Ratatoskr needed to hang from his neck for about 30 seconds while acting between Kratos & Atreus was very important to get just right. 🧵
