having a life outside of the internet really makes you realize that some of you people are unnecessarily weird and cruel. i am begging you to go out and talk to real people.

CONTROL Resonant is my Game of the Year with Blood of Dawnwalker a very close second. I didn't expect to love both Dylan and Coen so much, but they both became two of my favorite protags. Two amazing games you should play if you have not! 🏆

ALT 4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob in a suit and tie (the boss) with a smile on his face says “how’s the project going?” Panel 2: we see it’s forg who he is talking to. Forg is at his desk with a computer. He replies “great and excellent!” Panel 3: the boss walks away, satisfied with Forg’s answer. He says “amazing Forg” Panel 4: close up of forgs computer screen. It’s on a search engine page. In the search bar forg apparently typed “what is a “project”? above a search button and a cursor about to click on it. In the very foreground we see forgs silly face looking at it.
Hi new followers, sad to say I don't post much gamedev stuff here and I probably won't after yesterday. People are awful. If you would like to chat games do let me know!

"It's just a tool"
It's not. It's a service. One that AI CEOs are desperate to find an audience for after the massive backlash against gen ai art. It's consistent rhetoric also used by tech CEOs as they continue to eliminate jobs across all of tech. Code IS art.

It's insane how people pick and choose.
When this all first dropped many refused to put writing on the same priority level as artwork. Music and voice work less so.
And now people have no respect for coding. It is ALL plagiarism from ART.
People can say its "10 lines". Where do we draw the line? Usage means complicit and normalising it.
I'm sorry, but I'm disappointed. And we only hear about this after the game is safely out. Our industry here in Australia is small. We need to be better.
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere.

The use of genAI is bad, regardless of whichever aspect of production it is used for. Throw a rock and you’ll hit an intersection of issues: hastening climate collapse, polluting largely minoritized communities, entirely built on nonconsensual scrapping, risk to jobs, etc
There is still time to make this the most refunded. I wish people were smart.
