*takes a deep breath* ✨MIKA AND THE WITCH'S MOUNTAIN IS OUT NOW ON STEAM AND NINTENDO SWITCH✨

Honestly what year is it?

So proud of DLSS5: Fully generative neural rendering, in real-time, in real games. Mind-blowing realism. A whole new generation of real-time graphics. A decade of continuous research and development. Coming soon to PCs everywhere. 💚

You don’t have to be a gamer to work in video games. You don’t have to have a gaming background to run a game company. The industry could do with some outside thinking, frankly.

Wow, Gemini 3.1 Pro just crushed one of my test problems no other model could solve. "Write a photorealistic 3D ocean simulation" 3D graphics is extremely hard. It has to encode 9-10 techniques based in physics. Being off by just 1 number can lead to bonkers results

Yes. Most of gamedev costs are the salaries, which must match the local cost of living. Oppressive rent prices make it difficult to make games in many cities, but if that game isn't a fucking hit, it's often enough to destroy that studio outright now. No misses allowed anymore. Uncharted 1 didn't sell amazingly. Nor did Demon Souls. Red Ded Revolver and the first Yakuza also suffered from lukewarm sales. Imagine if those studios never had a chance to come back stronger because the sheer financial stress of cost-of-living-matching-salaries wiped them out.
