Like a News Thread 8: Infinite Welp

Oh, I saw some videos of this from the developer on twitter. Seems like it’s going to have interesting movement/dodge mechanics for a TPS. Happy to see it progressed beyond just a combat demo.

I heard talk that the person behind Hauntii is awful, anyone know if there is anything to that?

so apparently riot is selling a $500 league of legends skin. I guess that’s just where we’re at with video games now

i searched and found this tweet (in French) about this site removing an interview with him they did because he was racist/pro-genocide

i think what happened was, Sony wants investors to think they’re using AI, get Druckmann to do an interview where he talks about AI, get investor money.

This game has a demo now. I am probably not going to try the demo, though, because I already know I want to play the game.

yeah it took a little bit of digging, i’m not sure i’m a big fan of the “pro-genocide” framing but those are indeed some pretty bad twitter likes @yorgl.bsky.social on Bluesky
(his likes seem to be hidden now lol)

yep, pretty bad. it feels like at least 1 in 4 european indie game dev guys are like this. what makes this a little darker to me is this game is definitely more twee/not marketed towards the sort of grievance audience a lot of games by those types of developers are. very strange.

it does give more credence to my feeling that like a lot of these cute games are crypto-conservative though. i think it would be an interesting task for someone to go play a lot of games in that genre and pull those threads apart.
