I love sharing numbers so here's a video of how much we spent to make Mythmatch.
I break it down by time, discipline, and funding source.

there was a time I was toying with a comic made in Blender
Les gens ne sont pas prêt du tout pour la generation IA qui arrive.Les jeunes devs demandent aux IA de generer tout le boilerplate, de faire le debug, de leur donner des idées, il ne reste plus que les intentions et encore. On ne mesure pas les dégâts sur le savoir faire qui se prépare..

My GOTY 2024
Slow but tenseful gameplay, a childlike yet dark ambiance, and a story waaay more compelling than what we expected : we played it with gf and we thought about the game for WEEKS after
Félicitations ! 🎉
Loving it! Loving it all! The spreadsheets, the feedback, the sticky little problems the team are waiting for you to write the way out of. I remind myself: "what are you here on this earth to do?" I mutter. "This." And get right back into it. I remember my death. It's coming! "So what are you going to do about it?" Comes the inner whisper. I mutter "This!" and get right back into it. If I worry about what other people think, I try to raise my gaze all the way out past the heat death of the universe. This! Mmm, I love it.
Ultimately, you have to put your ego aside and try to enjoy the ride. This advice from Charlene Putney (in The Game Narrative Kaleidoscope by @inkle.co) feels worthy of printing out and sticking on the wall.

“The reason why the Artemis mission has everyone so fascinated is because it is a showcase for the efforts of people who are very, very good at their jobs, at a time when the news cycle is dominated by people who are not merely terrible at their jobs, but awful human beings as well.”
often have i yarned about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and today i yarn again, for did you know: as you climb and roll around, dirt builds up on the prince's lovely pants, and if you stand idly he eventually brushes it off
they bothered to have each bit of dirt remove at the right time. gods

Si vous utilisez Steam, pensez à laisser des reviews positives sur les jeux que vous kiffez, même si la review tient en une phrase type "C'est un bon jeu", c'est important en terme de visibilité pour les devs et studios, particulièrement celleux qui ne disposent pas des moyens d'un gros éditeur.

But the push towards photorealistic, or at least realism-inspired, visuals has led the industry into a corner, where you need to put two screenshots next to each other to understand where the improvements are this time. You need to be told where to look.
That's really quite sad in my opinion.
Si je comprends bien la décision du CNC, mes impôts peuvent financer les manteaux Dior des députées, les nouveaux jouets de la police nationale et le kérosène de notre bon président mais pas la culture juste parce qu'une meuf a pleinement assumé le caractère politique de l'attribution des aides. Ok.
Understandably, AAA company layoffs get most of the attention.
But never forget that every day sees indie layoffs, indie companies dissolving, publisher funding drying up, and even solo devs just deciding one day "I can't do this anymore, I guess I'll be a junior software engineer for Capital One."
