According to the CEO, basically the entire online infrastructure from the physical servers to co-op implementation and transmission optimization has been put together and run by a single 24-year-old guy that he calls a "genius".

And another thing, if Nintendo is salty about being upstaged by these randos, they should start putting their games on Steam

It'd depend on your definition of bought because I'm sure there's a ton of redeemed keys from bundles or downloaded free games that are in everyone's library.

Feb 29 - FFVII Rebirth (though I have to wait for the PC release)
Mar 8 - Unicorn Overlord
Mar 22 - Dragon's Dogma 2

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Fraud is on sale for $5 so I picked it up and played through it over an evening. Simple but fun game with endearingly stupid (and funny!!) writing that didn't wear out its welcome.

I don’t know what to tell you! Since the sale started, I ended up with DREDGE, LIVE A LIVE, Resident Evil 4, Army of Ruin, and Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Beat them (except Army of Ruin which has no end) while I had a nice long break from work. I enjoyed them all.

You need to start getting bundles of a dozen games that you tell yourself that you'll definitely play them but you only end up playing like two and the rest just kinda sit there and then there's another bundle and this time for sure you'll play every game but well...

Lol, follow up the success of your actionably pokemon/rust game with an actionably hollow knight game.

Tbh its worse to me to imagine that such blatantly ripped assets were created by hand

they are pretty obviously imitating the art style and some game mechanics but that's all and it's really not that close. people saying this is all stolen from hollow knight are out of their minds lmao

My backlog is down to just a lot of the Yakuza games I havent finished or played yet. At the end of 2023 I removed a bunch of games from my backlog and just accepted i'll never play them. I want this year to be dedicated to just new releases, but i'm going to do more than just the storylines and then move on. This year I want to make an effort to play through side content and really try to 100% everything I play.

A few weeks (or maybe months) ago, I read some articles about an SDK being released for Unreal Engine that could be used by modders to create content for games that had been released without modding support. I don't know if it was provided by Epic or if someone figured it out themselves, but I do recall there being a GitHub repo. Does this ring any bells?

'Procedural generation' is by definition based on procedures and generating things based off of them.

AI is a pile of math you cram data in and it shits out something hopefully useable somehow.

Procedurally generated worlds don't take in other, completed game worlds as training data. Would be pretty wild if they did though.
