1. Good news: Embark will make more voice lines with their actors. It's hard to know how many, but they are aiming to replace the AI.

2. Whoever wrote this for RPS is an idiot: Embark was always working with human actors. They were using special people to train a very custom model for each of them to cover thousands of objects and locations. Which otherwise would take years to voice. Now they kinda have these years.

Very odd intro, Oisin Kuhnke...

Tencent might be forced to sell their shares

The US Government Might Compel Tencent to Divest from US Gaming Companies for National Security https://wccftech.com/us-government-tencent-divest-gaming-companies-national-security/

The upcoming Death Stranding 2 costs €80 in Europe for the basic edition. It's €10 more than any other AAA game and KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS overestimate their fans loyalty. On a crowded market being the highest priced choice is not a selling point, it's a hiccup that will make people think twice and go to another game in most cases.

If this spring I'd want to carry around a suspicious kid, I'll pick a better priced game 😄

NVIDIA just casually dropped RTX version of Godot Engine:

The community admired and hated it at the same time. The overall hype over RTX is rather annoying for indie devs. Bugs and overall low quality of the port added up to the negative reception. But for some fans it looks like hope that Godot can further extend to mainstream.

UPD: They vibe coded this shit 🫠

Apparently, even Microslop is not able to push the slop to people. It will reduce AI bloat, will not make AI notifications and settings, and so on.

Official admin's commentary: ahahaha ahahahah ahahah...

You are worried about imperfections in your indie game animations. Meanwhile the hit that helped PlayStation to sell millions of units...
