My engineers sent me this and it made me tear up this is why I don't work in offices. I fired them all.

This doesn't reflect Mark, because he is obviously fucking wrong and his take is objectively stupid.

At SAGE this morning, Big Ant Studios COO Mark Bracken suggests you can go and get a games degree and walk into a video game job.

It's why my emails have prompt injection attacks in white font.
It’s official. Studio Execs are now using Chat GPT to evaluate screenplays. Here’s proof from a friend’s pass letter:
Not only is it vague and unhelpful, it references one specific — an antique camera.
The problem?
THERE’S NO ANTIQUE CAMERA IN THE FUCKING SCRIPT.

I realized I am too dumb to figure out how to build our frontend, and just dumb enough to build CLI frontends for each of our modules.
Rich CLI facilitates my stupid with:
- 'Live' multi-console
- stateless (running off FastAPI server)
- async message handling
- pretty colors/widgets

Best part about GDC was to check and validate our research findings across several games with the studios that made them.
What I have learned is that my all consuming, hyper-focused, nerd-rage vendetta against lazy market analysts/consultants needs to be more consuming, focused and enraged.

My reflection of GDC is that I can definitely have 8 edible gummies at the airport gate and still prefer the chicken over the salad by the time flight dinner service rolls around.
And then wake up 12 hours later back home.

Seriously play indika!!
The reason I'm being weird about this is indika SHOULD be a "game industry" celebrated video game. It makes me as a game dev think about what the future of games could be. It's a marvel of scope/scale, interaction, and narrative between characters, but also dialog between the game and the player.
The (low) number of people in the game industry that have played INDIKA is very apparent in all the awards shows I have been to this year. What the heck y'all

I dragged the corpse of a NFT executive, presented the skull to her, and did a courting dance before screeching the song of my people.
