@georgebsocial I really think a zombie game with a nice trailer can print wish-lists. Hopefully it will rock and rock soon!

Another successful showing of Whispers at the @alamodrafthouse Brooklyn. Amazing that after watching it nearly a hundred times that it can be a fresh new experience. Can't wait for the #UE5 renderer to come online in the coming weeks. Come see it in Raleigh with me on 7/22!

@Stefan_3D_AI Yea, I was able to get closer to Epic's demo using a curated scene and some forced learning. People need to remember that Epic's agents have built that exact demo, hundreds of time and have learned how to make it right. Out of the box will always be worse for a new agent.

That said, if Valve is trying to use the SteamMachine and SteamDeck to start a move towards an alternate OS, then there is something there. But just as a stand alone market, it doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure there is real market for the Steam Machine. Current consoles are cheaper and give similar to better performance. And for $1050 you can put together a PC that's better and can run other apps. So unlike the Deck that serviced a real need, the Steam Machine does not.

@mattworkman AI is out of the box and there is no putting it back in. If you’re in game dev and you are not already pivoting your workflows to utilize AI you are well behind the curve.

@Serellan And now, Epic is abandoning Blueprints to return to a coder heavy solution in Verse. A bold move Cotton let’s see how it works out for them.

@Serellan What’s funny is how it’s gone full circle. Epic abandoned Unrealscript one of the best game specific scripting systems in favor of a visual system that had major downsides but its accessibility to non-coders was a huge plus.

@georgebsocial Let’s not forget George, Covid over hires coupled with the majority of investment capital moving from games to AI. Perfect storm for a down trend. Sucky time to be a game dev on all fronts.

@ScottApogee I remember working to pickup Unrealscript from nothing but reading the code. The good old days.

@vixenovaa It doesn’t HAVE to be used but it greatly speeds up the process. AI is a tool here and Epic is using it well.

EPIC TALKS ABOUT FORTNITE's CONCEPT ART PROCESS (Skins, POIs, etc..) • Artists still start with original ideas & sketches in Photoshop, Blender, hand-drawing, etc.. • AI tools are used to iterate and test ideas faster • Examples shown include: different POI lighting, style swaps, meteor showers, colors, render passes, etc. • Artists fix mistakes, remove unwanted details, and keep creative control

Did anyone else get serious Left4Dead vibes from the E-day trailer.. especially at the start?

I’ve just got to say this. Obsession is over hyped. Granted, the lead actress deserves an Oscar for her performance but the rest of the movie was average at best. Next up… Backrooms!

@therealcliffyb Hey Cliff -- Maul the TV show. It's what you are looking for!

Mando & Grogu was a solid inoffensive C. It would have been better as a TV show but as is it felt rushed. The "big" set pieces where meh but when it was Mando chewing up Troopers, loads of fun! In the end, doesn't erase the good that Maul bought but doesn't build on it either.
