Resident Evil 9: Requiem - YouTube

I might not get many views on the second channel, but it's a great creative outlet for something traditionally low effort!

Now it's been over a month since Resident Evil 9 released - here are some of my favourite thumbnails I made for my Let's Play series.

Love thinking up ways to represent the episode instead of the traditional thumbnail style. Takes a lot more effort, but proud of the results!

Well since I'm stuck in my own game I don't need one........... BUT if I WAS to use one πŸ‘€ then yes it would be time consuming haha

Sometimes my footage for a 10 minute video is 40 minutes because of the takes

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

DLSS 5's only understanding of how a scene 'should look' is based on what it's been trained - superimposing its idea of what is intended over the developer's.

Companies like NVIDIA are looking to skirt around generative AI vs Art concerns by wrapping DLSS 5 up with a poorly generated bow.

1 month ago 0 0 1 0

NVIDIA are pushing for a world where Art is no longer Human-authored, but AI-tampered.

Daniel Owen asked NVIDIA clarifying questions about DLSS 5, to which it was admitted that the tech essentially takes the frame and overlays an AI filter - no regard for what's actually in the game scene.

Let's talk about DLSS 5, game development, and why this oversteps into video game art direction.

Video Games may soon no longer be Human authored, but AI-tampered.

The Dog said he was lonely, so I invited Chat to invade my game as Ducks πŸ¦†

I built a Twitch integration library which works with Godot 4.6 .NET C#.

Made to provide a bridge between your game and Twitch Chat chaos. Check it out below!

Game development can feel painfully slow, even when real progress is happening.

I made a video about why backend work can mess with our perception of progress and why you’ve probably made more than you think.

In a time where we’re always on the grind to create, remember to take some time out to look after yourself.

Burn out is real. Don’t let it affect you. You got this πŸ’ͺ🏻
