The inventory bag from World of Gifts, a simple light brown cloth sack, tied tightly at the top with a darker rope. Its shape is round and bulky at the bottom, suggesting it's full of stuff. Drawn in a cartoonish / comic style with thick lines and bold outlines.

Inside view of the inventory bag from World of Gifts a light brown cloth sack with six circular slots visible on the front, arranged in two rows of three, each designed to hold individual items. The top is tied with a darker rope, same as the closed version. Cartoonish / comic style with thick lines and bold outlines.

Are you serious 😂 MeshyAI is totally run by Pro AI idiots, how could they screwed up so badly by calling AI 3D generated Sonic a Pokemon. SEGA and Nintendo please start dropping nukes on MeshyAI for copyright infringement. #sega #nintendo #ai #meshyai #failedslop #aislop #gamedev #blueskygamedev

Men covertly filming women at night and profiting from footage, BBC finds The BBC went undercover to investigate an industry where women are filmed at night without their knowledge.

This is absolutely dangerous, because Genie 3 is going to copy what GrokAI did by exploiting women and children into generated AI objects, so these videos on YouTube are most likely to get eaten by Genie 3 to create sloppy adult games. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #gamedev #genie3 #blueskygamedev

Controversial Steam Game Canceled 1 Day After Reveal Over AI Backlash In an unusual turn of events, a Steam game gets canceled just one day following its reveal, with its developer shutting down due to AI backlash.

What actually happened? Well its quite simple, the developers behind "Postal: Bullet Paradise" lied about not using AI, meaning the game could've been saved by saying we are using AI from the very beginning. Transparency Matters!!! #gamedev #blueskygamedev #gaming #game

I am more worried 😦 about toxic players that will weaponise the AI-Accusations against people who are not using AI when spotting errors in games like bad UV mapping or texture design. Hence why we need to focus more on quality control #blueskygamedevelopment #blueskygamedev #gamedev #expedition33
