The new Wolverine trailer just dropped on the Playstation channel, so I thought it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what AAA gameplay looks like these days. - AAA treats gamers like idiots. - AAA prefers push forward gameplay over real gameplay. - AAA prefers excessive graphics over game mechanics. - AAA prefers safe boring, 20 year old gameplay vs inniovation. - AAA likes to insert political messaging and personal inserts of their designers/writers. - AAA likes to uglify all their female characters, yet somehow leaves males alone. - AAA loves to monetize you. Monetization model comes first and foremost in the DESIGN at the core. Say no to AAA. Keep voting with your wallets.

A SECOND glitch has appeared on the Starcraft site. It's full of MORE hidden messages, like an ARG. Screenshots of the messages in replies. A huge Starcraft banner is displayed at the Blizzcon convention center ahead of the show. This was my fav game to ever work on.

Do you remember the feeling? It was magical, even for us devs. That sound of the bowstring, the colors. We knew we had something special. We all played the game as it launched, which is rarer than you think for game devs. It's another sign that you did it.

Ah crap. Just when I was getting hyped for Forza. They couldn't stop at 2, they had to add 3 Body Types. And the female "type" is barely indistinguishable from the male. It's a goal: Total erasure of biology to support radical ideologies.

Stormwind was the first city we ever built. Our lead programmer had it load and play the song "We built this city" to our surprise when we first loaded in. The first version of Stormwind had no districts or canals. The framerate was below terrible. Then I thought of Venice. I grabbed a map of the city and slapped it down on the table the next morning. THIS, I said, is how we'll partition the city, drawing only the district you can see, separated by canals. It worked, and Stormwind was born.

Halo 343 Studios: Here's 6 hours of Halo Ring start menu we probably spent 1.2 million making... Random X User: I think AI is better (prompts, 30 seconds later). Internet: Explodes. I'm sorry, but 343 got mogged judging by the reactions. You can nit at the AI video, but imagine if they spent a week polishing it rather than 5 minutes. This is a combination of 343 just not being good enough to deserve Halo and AI getting better every day. The comments are completely predictable. Every artist is defending the 343 version, not because they really thought about it, but because the perceive AI as a threat that must be taken out at all costs. Meanwhile non-artists see a lot of merit to the AI version and the potential. I see the issues with the AI version, but I bet you a few more days on the AI version, perhaps generating 3D assets with it, would end up being the clear winner. See reply for the complete meltdown thread of reactions. (and for those who haven't heard me before, yes, that's my voice)

The situation with Black Myth: Wukong is disgusting. They cite IGN and consulting companies such as SBI as part of a shakedown racket of 7 MILLION in fees. Here's how it all works, as SBI Founder Kim Belair explains: "If they don't see the value of what you're asking for, for when you ask for consultants...and just terrify them with the possibility of what's going to happen if they don't give you what you want." Here is the whole web of people who support each other and make this shakedown happen: Sweet Baby Inc. - "Hire us or else." Reporters - Support the racket by writing hit piece articles, and run defense for the consulting companies. Play down the racket as a conspiracy theory. Alyssa Mercante - Writes hit piece on @kabrutusrambo for exposing Sweet Baby's long list of ruined games. Rebekah Valentine - Defends Alyssa and writes hit piece article on Wukong, leading to the shakedown. Jason Schreier - Gaslights you when it is all exposed, saying it's a "Hallucination" and isn't happening. It sure seems like its all part of a multi-million dollar racket. In fact, DEI and DEI consulting is a HUGE industry (see my post about the Activision Blizzard report). They call us Grifters but they are the ones making bank. Wukong directly cites the IGN hit piece article by Rebekah Valentine, as well as companies similar to Sweet Baby Inc, as being behind the 7 Million dollar extortion attempt.

Nausicaa had a deep influence on so many. What a vivid world. - 1984 film directed by Miyazaki and based on his manga. - He started the manga for the express purpose of getting interest in a movie. - This was actually not a Ghibli film. Ghibli was founded after this. - 263 colors were huge, a huge number at the time. - There is a real life version of the Mehve glider, project OpenSky, and it works. Don't watch the 1985 US version, which was butchered and called "Warriors of the Wind"

This game is entirely "vibe" coded. I spent 6 months using AI to replace Unreal Engine from under our game Em-8ER. Now we're developing 93x faster than we ever did before with Unreal. Because our engine is developed to be 100% AI first instead of tacked on. It is not a toy one shotted overnight, it is a production ready engine. I made a big bet that this was the future and now I'm very confident it is. You don't need to license an expensive game engine anymore. Today's update features: - Advanced character animation system - World collision meshes - AI assisted Blender anim exporter and workflow - Character outfits and outfit swapping - Physic driven character effects - Fully networked client/server player capsules - Pilotable vehicles - Waifus The engine is called Kun-Zhi, the Tibetan word for "Ground of all" that the world springs from. This engine will be released to the public, starting with backers first. Today we're opening up to public backers again after a quiet building period where they were closed. If you would like to support our engine work and get the game, you can subscribe as a patron, or purchase a game backer pack on sale at 50% here: Corporate sponsorships are available. Send a DM. Current partners include Razer and AMD. Follow and subscribe for our first "How To" articles on AI coding and gaming dropping tomorrow.

I made a Draconia Malfoid Visual Novel. I used Vivix's new W1 model, which is unique for it's real-time interaction. No more static cut-outs of characters and still backgrounds. Vivix's W1 model costs $0.003 per second and is fully interactive, shattering the cost barrier while being high quality and real-time. Vivix W1 is also different. It's not a simple clip model, its beta API offers something unique - it lets you modify the video on the fly, a real-time interactive video model. Most AI video is prompt in, clip out, then repeat. Every prompt a break or cut in the video. Vivix W1 is continuous, creating a seamless video experience. That means you can have an LLM handle the conversation, and stream the new chat and emotions and scenes as signals into the API to direct the character's video in real-time, without pauses. You can take characters anywhere in the world, any setting. That's kinda nuts. Vivix reached out to see if I was interested, so I put together a quick AI Visual Novel system with their API. The prototype video is impressive at this speed. The W1 model is directable in real-time. The responses, outfit changes and the dances are all live. The W1 seamless responsiveness is something no clip generator offers. At just about 10 bucks/hour of video, gaming applications are within reach. I do wish the audio was better, it tends to have drop-outs, and it currently doesn't do seamless scene transitions. But the model is in full scale training now, and I hope to have characters moving from location to location with the player. The site is clip-only for now, real-time is the beta API, browser interaction is later. This is the part I am most interested in. You can check it out at: *Sponsored by Vivix.AI

David Jaffe, Creator of God of War, reacts to the reveal of GOW: Laufey. "That looks like shit...reminds me of Forspoken" "So uninsipired, so dull." "It's dead. That game is not going to do well." David is gonna get a lot of crap for this, so props for him calling it. But he's gonna get a call. And a lot of pressure from his "just consume the female protagonist" audience and circle of friends. I'm really curious what he says about it again in a couple of days.

Did Cyberpunk 2077 just beat GTA 6 graphics? The NVIDIA DLSS 5 Neural AI leak allows modders to enable it for nearly any game now, from Gatcha games to Skyrim and now Cyberpunk 2077. YouTuber Swurvgaming shows off maxed out DLSS 5 Neural Rendering, which uses AI to render characters extremely realistically with higher fidelity than even GTA 6 arguable. Whether or not you like the look is something else. Many are calling it the worst thing they've ever seen, with uncanny valley and AI slop accusation. If you look at my other posts like DLSS 5 on Skyrim, you will see the look can be subtle too and there are sliders you can use to tune it. Subtle is better, IMHO. This is done via the RenoDX mod, which unlocks a still experimental NVIDIA DLL feature. This technology was first demo's by nVidia and took TWO 5090's to run. Now it's running at 30fps on a 5060 for many games like CONTROL. I think this tech is going to start dominating games, not just for realism, but for stylized looks and refreshing older games like Skyrim, where the tech works without that feeling of creepy alienation. This is just one filter. With AI you can train it for a lot of different looks, like Anime or even something like Arcane. Changing the look of a game will be something available at the flick of a switch and personalized by you, the player's taste.

I ditched Unreal for AI. Kaiju Engine is a completely AI written replacement. To prove it was ready for production, I tested it by recreating and porting my old game, Firefall, into Kaiju, purely from the Steam download, no source. And it worked. Real game code is messy, full of difficult details and compromises. If our engine could handle a commercially released game, it proves you can ship a game with it. We're developing 2 orders of magnitude faster (93x) by lines of code and features. We have fewer bugs, and iteration is super fast. Build times have gone from 30 mins (Unreal) to 36 seconds. Feature rate is through the roof, days instead of months. Our original engine for Firefall took 2-3 years and cost over 5M to build (adjusted). Our new engine was written in 5 months for a couple grand. We built only what we needed, with none of the Unreal bloat. And we added some features: - Modern meshlet based rendering with PBR. - Vis Buffer/Forward+ with clustered lighting. - Id Tech 5 style megatexture streaming. - Planetary sized renderer (entire solar systems possible). - Seamless flight from ground to orbit and space. - No loading screens. - Procedural planet generation with plate simulation. - Client/Server at all times. - Ozz for animation. Jolt for Physics. - Companion Blender plug-in for AI directed asset exports. - 140fps currently, 200-300 projected after optimizations. You can see Firefall's assets and levels ported over into our engine in the video. Texture resolution and pop-in are limitations of the original game (high rez CDN based textures were lost when game went offline, fog hid the original's pop-in). Our meshlet renderer will be able to do much better with LOD and already supports high rez textures. I used Grok/Codex/Claude to tag team the code. This is not just a boon for indie games, it's a real game changer for game preservation. The reaction to seeing this 10 year old discontinued game revived is very emotional for Firefall fans. But we're not just preserving Firefall, we're going beyond, creating an original game that is the spiritual successor, Em-8ER. Gliding, jumpjets... it's all coming back. Moving past Unreal let us move much faster, without the bloat, and with better performance. If you want to signup to follow news on the game, sign up is free at
