You miss the days of stacking coins on top of an arcade cabinet and getting hooked on shmups? Here's the latest video of a brand-new shmup for MD/Gen that Ancient is developing in 2023.

12 months ago this tech could barely put a 500x500px image together that didn't look terrible. When you look at the rate of advancement in 12 months, then times that by 10, man, this industry will be a different landscape a decade from now.

The velocity at which AI is stampeding into the art world genuinely frightens me. I'm far into my career but I look at my son who wants to be an artist and I worry that there may not even be a career path for him by the time he leaves education. What you see below is AI.

This is the future of IP. This anime is made using AI. Corridor Crew is a must subscribe youtube channel they show the whole process.

This game looks like a creative masterpiece. Rayman vibes with a good slice of darkness. I've been watching it develop for a while but only just realised it was launching on Switch too, winner, winner!

This shows how mad work has been this past couple of years. I bought this at launch and as my PS5 hasn't been on since the launch week I still haven't had chance to play this yet. Madness!

Two major hurdles. First and biggest being that Darkwind no longer exist after being bought by Facebook so I’ve lost my development partners and the other...oh yeah, I need a good couple of hundred grand spare.

Well that was heart warming! Thought I’d search for ‘Wulverblade’ on here to see what people have been saying over the years and wow, you guys sure did love it. That’s really made my week! My biggest dream is to be able to make another game again one day.

I got to see this early version when I was working on the branding and could tell it was going to be awesome back then. The before and after here is brilliant.

Take a look behind the scenes of our Cinematic Reveal Trailer for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew ☠️. Our trailer director Régis Raffin had a lot of fun creating the animatic and first 3D previsualization, as you'll see in this side-by-side making of video. ⬇️ #shadowgambit

Another dream project from a little while back for Jamestown +. Creating the new brand and bringing together the key art which now adorns the physical release. Such a cool project and a game I’ve loved for many, many years!

I’m also vainly hoping that I’ll get to totally overhaul Fully Illustrated this year as its not even had an update in 12 months. Shocking! This reel is going to need a fresh take too!

I’ve also pre-ordered by FIRST AAA game in over 2 years, Hogwarts Legacy. Can’t wait for that to arrive tomorrow. I’m guessing however that my PS5 will have 18 months of updates to run through though ha ha.

Oooph , I’ll be grabbing this! As the past 18 months have been totally insane (in the very best way) with work, I’ve barely played any games whatsoever but have built up a nice pile of physical switch indie games to indulge in eventually. This will join said pile ;)

A couple of my favourite characters were these two goblins. The old guy welcomes you to the game and gives you a tour whilst the big beastly fella is one of the highest level characters you come across. Can't express how much I enjoyed creating all these!

I never saw AI moving into creative jobs, I thought they'd be safe, not the first to fall. The fact its swept into art, writing, video, music etc is mind boggling. It does make you wonder what AI actually couldn't do.
