sick of these catholic converts showing up and saying "well I have a different interpretation of the scripture" no you don't. that's protestantism and a heresy. don't like it there's the (incredibly beautiful and heavily ornamented with precious metals) door

There are so, so, SO many of us composers out there, and a vast majority of us are willing to work within your budget. Some of us are happy to work for free, with the promise of a percentage of the game's revenue.

There is NEVER a reason to resort to generative AI slop music. NEVER.

TALK TO US.

Imprinted: Find Out The Truth In This Terrifying Ghost Story Imprinted is an upcoming mystery game that has you uncovering a ghost story from the “comfort” of a fake operating system.

Successfully exploring dread and tension in psychological horror is elusive. That is why a shiver ran down my spine while playing Imprinted. Its fake-OS investigation is too vivid.

Here is my first-ever preview:

A very cool first look (if you speak German) at a project I've just had the pleasure of joining the team on. Looking forward to working on it further!

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

"AI can do translation," sure, if you're using Google translate to help you read the side of a pack of crackers. But real quick, if you write a game in English, and that game has a pun in it, and that joke absolutely won't work in Spanish or Chinese or French, what happens then?

Localising Hotel Dusk, pt. 1 For a game that relies on dialogue and characterisation as heavily as Hotel Dusk: Room 215' , localisation is a key process to ensure the title can be enjoyed overseas.

One unexpected find, an interview with the European localisation team (including English, French, Italian, German and Spanish) of Cing's Hotel Dusk: Room 215 about how the game was translated!

One of my favorite games I played last year! Incredible visuals and compelling, unnerving and mysterious storytelling. Highly recommended!

A quote by Rick Owens. It reads: "Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead."

A quote by Rick Owens. It reads: "Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead."

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body — but they don't really understand Owens's work.

Let's talk about it. 🧵

Nvidia Answers my DLSS 5 Questions
Nvidia Answers my DLSS 5 Questions YouTube video by Daniel Owen

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame.

TL:DR, they sped up slop.

a resource-intensive feature that nobody asked for which solves no known problem AND is functionally not just useless, but actively makes the product worse?

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

It's worth reading her obituary. She went through a lot and witnessed a lot of destruction, but created even more light.

Survey: tell us how you're using AI
GamesIndustry.biz is running an editorial survey (with no commercial involvement) to find out how the industry is using AI, how you think it should be used, and how it should be presented to players. It's quite short, simple, and anonymous, although there's the option to give your email address if you'd like to talk more. Please note this survey is only for those working in the industry, not the general public.

You can fill out the survey here.

The survey will run until Wednesday 25 February, and we'll be reporting the results as part of a run of coverage on GamesIndustry.biz, in an effort to look past the controversy and judge the impact AI is having on how games are made and marketed.

My Five Do’s and Don’ts of Game Translation - J-En Translations I came up with my five do’s and don’ts for game translation in a recent discussion with other translators, editors and project managers.

Had a fun exercise at a recent translator meetup, "what are your do's and don'ts of translation?" I decided to focus on game translation and share them here.
