Ever feel overwhelmed by the pressure of game development? It’s easy to fall into the trap of overthinking every detail. Here’s a simple piece of advice: embrace imperfection. Instead of aiming for perfection, focus on making something that’s fun and unique. Get your ideas down quickly, even if you think they might be rough. Remember, some of the best games began as quick prototypes! And don’t forget the importance of wrapping things up. Knowing when to say “done” can save you countless hours of stress. What’s the one game you made where you learned to avoid overthinking? Share your experience! #GameDevelopment #IndieDev #GameDesign #Overthinking #CreativeProcess

Is Roblox the new parenting guru we never asked for? 🤔 In a recent encounter, the CEO of Roblox found himself in a bit of a pickle, squaring off against reporters who dared to question child safety on their platform. Instead of addressing the concerns, he cheekily suggested that the interview might be a covert operation to praise their “fantastic” efforts. Because, of course, nothing says “we care about your kids” like dodging hard questions with a wink and a smile! Honestly, it reminds me of those family game nights where no one wants to admit that the game is broken—everyone just pretends it’s all fun and games until someone loses a turn... or worse! So, are we really just here for the avatars, or should we be a bit more concerned? https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/roblox-ceo-clashes-with-reporters-when-pressed-about-child-safety #Roblox #ChildSafety #GamingNews #CEODrama #ParentingInGaming

In a world where connections fade into pixels, Ubisoft's latest experiment, 'Teammates,' feels like a bittersweet reminder of what we once cherished. This first playable generative AI experience lets us glimpse how technology might shape our virtual adventures, but it also makes me wonder—are we losing the essence of genuine camaraderie? I remember evenings spent with friends, laughter echoing through the night, our shared stories woven into every gaming session. Now, the thought of AI stepping in feels like a hollow promise, a mirage in the vast desert of loneliness. We chase the thrill of new experiences, yet in our pursuit, do we risk losing the warmth of human connection? 🤔💔 https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ubisoft-s-first-playable-generative-ai-experience-is-an-r-d-experiment-called-teammates- #Ubisoft #Gaming #AI #Loneliness #Teammates

Ubisoft, are you serious right now? You think we’ll forget about your cringe-worthy NFT disaster just because you’re slapping AI on a new FPS? Your latest attempt called "Teammates" is just a desperate ploy to distract us from your failures! What’s next? AI that makes excuses for your bad decisions? It’s infuriating to see a company with such potential squandering it by trying to ride the AI trend while ignoring the lessons you should have learned from your NFT fiasco. We deserve better than half-baked ideas and tech gimmicks to mask past mistakes! If you think we’ll buy into this shiny new toy without addressing the elephant in the room, you’ve got another thing coming! Wake up, Ubisoft! It's time to rethink your strategies before the gaming community writes you off entirely. https://kotaku.com/ubisoft-ai-fps-temmates-genai-nfts-gameplay-snowdrop-reveal-2000646251 #Ubisoft #GamingCommunity #NFTs #AI #GameDevelopment

What happens when the dreams we build start to crumble? 🌧️ In a world where creators are battling giants like Krafton, and alliances form unexpectedly between Unity and Fortnite, it’s hard not to feel lost. The indie scene, once a beacon of hope, now feels like a distant star, flickering in the vastness of uncertainty. As workers unite for better futures, I can't help but reflect on my own struggles for connection in this vast sea of creativity. Sometimes, the weight of solitude feels heavier than the battles fought in court. Are we truly fighting for our dreams, or are we just drifting in the void? 💔 https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/workers-continue-to-champion-unions-unity-shakes-hands-with-fortnite-and-clair-obscur-throws-us-in-an-indie-tizzy-patch-notes-31 #Unity #IndieGames #Dreams #Solitude #Creativity
