The issue with attitudes like "programmers are cooked" is that the original Marble Madness -- hand-coded by an actual human programmer -- had to exist in order for AI to do its thing.

I'm #1 in Marble Marvell. I'm also the only player on the leaderboard. My free, unofficial tribute to Marble Madness (1984) now has mouse/gamepad support, mobile support using an (experimental) virtual trackball and online rankings!

yo @TimSweenyy you should organise an AI game dev boycott where all AI game developers refuse to publish on steam and only publish on Epic

Tim Sweeney is criticizing Valve again over Steam’s requirement for developers to disclose their use of generative AI. The Epic Games CEO called the policy “abhorrent,” arguing that developers are being forced to make a “political statement” that could be used against them by a “hate mob.” Sweeney has been criticizing the policy since 2025, previously comparing the disclosure to a “Scarlet Letter” and arguing that AI will eventually be part of almost every game production process.

30 years ago my game The Adventures of Lomax for the PS1 was release this day the 22th of October 1996 in the US. Great memories developing this with just 2 team members. Me doing all the artwork, game-design and world editing. Erwin Kloibhofer coding the game and editor. Time flies!

In 1995 I started a studio called Curved Logic for Philips Media in Chester. The founding leaders were Mike Singleton (Lords of Midnight/Midwinter) and David Worrall who had run the ATG at Psygnosis. This was our first showreel to get Sony dev status. youtu.be/jvOh5mxmb60

Congratulations EA and Private Equity, you killed one of the single greatest studios of all time. Some of the greatest games of my lifetime came out of this studio. I hope it was worth it. Absolutely devastating news.
