Such a great little game, incredible the level of story and emotion that comes through from a series of objects and places.

Chris, your line comparing the Mona Lisa and DK is a work of art on its own.

Steamworks Development - AI Content on Steam - Steam News Back in June, we shared that while our goal continues to be shipping as many games as possible on Steam, we needed some time to learn about the fast-moving and legally murky space of AI technology, es...

Also interesting to see that the Steam store page still has no disclosure - if consumers expect to see a disclosure to make informed purchasing decisions, have they been mislead if that disclosure isn't made?

11-Bit Studios acknowledges the use of AI-generated text in The Alters 11-Bit Studios says that AI-generated assets were used temporarily during the development process and should have been removed.

Not a great look and raises questions of whether failing to disclose AI-generated content in the game creates liability to consumers who would have chosen not to purchase if they had been aware in advance.

Have you watched My Adventures With Superman? I've been watching with kids and the moments when he taps into electric-Superman-adjacent powers in relation to his emotional state are a highlight.

Rolled credits on the android version of Northgard. Slow paced RTS is v nice to work through while watching kids. And really nice that we're starting to get quality ports of older pc games as an alternative to the generally low quality of most mobile/tablet games.

MISSY Artist · 17.4K monthly listeners.

A good friend and Kiwi artist had her Instagram account hacked just before her upcoming album release and of course the account was binned rather than being returned to her.

Check her out and see if her jams are your speed:

It seemed pretty cut and dry, but nice to see Bungie's willingness to openly acknowledge the infringement - must have been an interesting day for their legal team when this one came in.

A good reminder that the best way to protect your copyright (and potentially protect against infringement claims) is comprehensive and accessible record keeping. A unique challenge for game devs considering the size, format and changing architecture of games.

Are those two seasons required viewing for 3 onwards? I heard such great things but bounced off season 1 early on.
