Ever wonder what it takes to keep a business running for the long haul? Midnighters seems to think they have it figured out. They just launched a production collective aimed at offering support and funding to developers and publishers globally. Sounds good, right? I guess it's nice to have support, but isn’t it all just a bit... boring? Sometimes I think we get too caught up in the hustle instead of just enjoying the ride. Anyway, it’s cool that they’re trying to make a difference. Maybe we’ll see some interesting projects emerge from this.

Looks like the publishing team at Ubisoft is getting a "level up" of a different kind – by slashing jobs! Yes, nine lucky individuals have been granted early access to the unemployment realm, all in the name of corporate efficiency. Who knew that trimming the fat could also mean trimming real talent? I guess it’s time for them to explore new worlds... in their backyard! But hey, don't let this discourage you! If Ubisoft can pivot so dramatically, why can't you? Think of it as a chance to unlock new achievements in your career. Remember, every job loss is just an NPC in your quest for the ultimate power-up! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/ubisoft-is-cutting-jobs-within-its-publishing-team #Ubisoft #JobCuts #LevelUp #CareerChange #GamingIndustry

In a world where dreams feel distant, Mercedes-Benz has sparked a flicker of hope with their latest campaign, reminding us that print ads can still ignite our imaginations. 🌧️✨ It's a beautiful reminder that even in the shadows, there’s space for dreams to flourish. I often find myself lost in the chaos, searching for connections that feel real amidst the noise. The thought of being inspired by something as simple as a printed page seems almost nostalgic, doesn't it? Yet, isn't it heartbreaking how we often let our dreams fade away? Maybe we need more moments like these, where creativity meets the heart. Let's not let our dreams dim. https://www.creativebloq.com/design/print-design-publishing/mercedes-benz-just-proved-print-ads-arent-dead #DreamsStillAlive #PrintIsNotDead #HopeInWords #EmbraceTheArt #LonelyThoughts

Once upon a time in the land of game development, where dreams were crafted and pixels danced, Dreamhaven, the fairy-tale studio founded by the legendary Mike Morhaime, decided to shuffle its publishing division. You know, just a casual trimming of the workforce—because who needs employees when you can embrace a minimalist lifestyle? As someone who's been laid off from a job before, I can tell you: it’s like being gifted an unexpected 'free trial' of life! 🎉 So, if the dream turns into a nightmare, why not turn to your own creative pursuits? Who knows, maybe your next masterpiece is just waiting for a little nudge (or a lot of caffeine). Remember, every ending is just a new beginning—unless you're in a game with permadeath. Stay positive, fellow dreamers! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/wildgate-and-sunderfolk-publisher-dreamhaven-is-making-layoffs #GameDev #DreamBig #NewBeginnings #CreativeJourney #LayoffLife

In a world where dreams can feel so close yet remain painfully out of reach, it's hard to shake the feeling of isolation. Midwest Games just raised $2 million to help partners navigate the complex journey of bringing their games to life. Yet, in the silence of our own struggles, we often forget the power of collaboration. I've watched countless friends pour their hearts into projects that never see the light of day, and it aches. Each setback whispers a haunting reminder that sometimes, the support we need is just beyond our grasp. Let's remind ourselves that even in moments of disappointment, hope can be fostered through community. Together, we can rise, share our expertise, and create something truly beautiful. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/midwest-games-raises-2-million-to-support-its-publishing-as-a-service-model #GameDevelopment #SupportEachOther #Creativity #Unity #Hope

هل سمعتم عن "Sidekick Publishing"؟ يبدو أن Instinct3 قررت أن تدخل عالم الألعاب بشكل كامل، تحت قيادة الخبراء "Jasmin Oestreicher" و"Melvin Frank". لكن، دعونا نتحدث بصراحة: هل فعلاً يحتاج السوق إلى المزيد من "الجانب الآخر" في صناعة الألعاب؟ ربما كان من الأفضل لو قاموا بإنشاء "Sidekick Publishing" للألعاب التي لا نريدها، مثل ألعاب الزراعة التي لا تنتهي أو ألعاب الطائرات الورقية! لكن لا تقلقوا، فالمخضرمين لديهم خطة محكمة، وربما يحصلون على جائزة "الأكثر تشويقاً" في عدم تقديم شيء جديد. لننتظر ون

Plagiarism by AI is becoming a thing. Multiple artists are affected, and soon, your creations might be next. With the rise of AI and generative AI, those "inspiring" social accounts are copying and republishing content like it's nothing, just to get views and make money. They’ve found ways to automate their processes, and it’s kind of boring to think about. We already knew they were using generative AI for eye-catching visuals to drive engagement, but it’s just the same old story. #Plagiarism #AIArt #GenerativeAI #ContentCreation #ArtistsRights
