My name is Luke and I've been a professional game dev for 6 years now. Based in Austin currently I've wanted to be a game dev since I started college back in 2014. Weirdly enough I've only ever been able to attend GDC as a student but I'm lookin to change that eventually! #whatagamedevlookslike

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

Got three job rejections in one day so: I am asking for help finding a new full-stack web development job. My website/portfolio is available at casey.kolderup.org. I'm a great team member and I've worked at small startups and medium-sized companies with success working across teams and disciplines.

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!

technology that makes people more productive is inherently used to perpetuate capitalism, that’s why I make videogames, technology that makes people less productive

In the interest of self-preservation I need to start reiterating: my current contract with KO_OP ends late Nov, and I'm looking for my next gig! I'm a game/narrative designer, writer, & generalist with lots of implementation experience in Unity, some in Unreal, knowledge of C#, Python, and more.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

If anyone is looking for a Software Engineer for the games industry I'm looking for a new position similar to so many people in these past months. 5+ years of experience under my belt and I'm ready to more than double it at the right company.

I hope everyone affected (who can afford to) takes some time today to grieve the conditions that make these layoffs so common and so rough. Wishing everyone a quick hiring.
