Still don't think #AI companies are terrible? Here's #OpenAI's Shivon Zilis and #xAI's Elon Musk (when he was OpenAI too), casually talking about "slowing down" former #Bullfrog & #Lionhead gamedev Demis Hassabis because his work at #Deepmind was putting it ahead of theirs.
And I mean, they're clearly talking about murder, no?
"I think you know I'm not a malicious person but in this case it feels fundamentally irresponsible to not find a way to slow or alter his path."

Syndicate has always been one of my favorite 💯 retro games 🕹️ because it combines action 💥 strategy 🧠 and economics 📈 in a great way 👍

I found this interview so incredibly inspiring.
Obviously I'm not a games developer, but in some ways I think game dev is emblematic is the fusion between art and craft that represents the soul of computing :)
This gent started out building games for his Commodore 64 and then went on to work for industry greats like Bullfrog, Lionhead and Media Molecule.
His thoughts on AI, "organic intelligence" and the creative spark are super interesting.

Wisst ihr was ich #DungeonKeeper damals wie heute hoch anrechne?
Die Möglichkeit einen bereits gewonnenen Level fortzuführen.
Ihr müsst wissen, geht an die Jüngeren, damals gehörte "freeplay", also nur so zum Spaß rumdaddeln, noch nicht zum Konzept. Dungeon Keeper hatte nicht mal einen Skirmish Mode. Da war es nach bestandenem Level immer eine kleine Wohltat zu verschnaufen und den Kreaturen in den eigenen Gemäuern beim wuseln & hochleveln zuzuschauen, hier und da noch ein paar Fallen zu platzieren, geheime Objekte zu bergen, etc.Beinahe 30 Jahre später noch immer ein großes Lob an #Bullfrog.

"So, did I tell you the #bullfrog #story ?" I ask my kid.
Driving to a party with Kobl one night, we stopped by where the creek had a pool with bullfrogs. He stood on the bank and I waded slowly through the water, while he dazzled frogs with a flashlight.
I caught a big bullfrog, stuffing it in a beer cooler.
We got to the party, walked in and sat down. I put the cooler on the floor, saying nothing.
Host Marb asks, "So, what's in the cooler?"
"Biggest bullfrog you ever seen!" I answered.

🎂 On this day in 1997, #DungeonKeeper by #Bullfrog Productions was released!
This #classic #RTS and #ManagementSim turned strategy #gaming upside down by letting players build a twisted underground empire instead of the usual hero role. Manage your minions, build lairs and torture chambers, mine gold, and research spells to defeat the forces of good.
The unique feature of possessing creatures and seeing the dungeon from their eyes set it apart in #RetroGaming. With an 89% critic score and a loyal fanbase, Dungeon Keeper remains a shining example of #ClassicGames blending dark humor and clever mechanics.

Another early build of Theme Hospital, a hospital management simulation game known for its humor. A 1996 press kit reveals early development footage and scrapped content, including a "curved" game build with a different UI and cut gameplay mechanics like a Hospital Policy screen with exploitative options.

Theme Hospital is a 1997 business simulation game where you manage a hospital, treating patients with funny diseases. This preview demo showed some development features in February 1996.

Pondering a large-knobs desktop monosynth (which will actually almost entirely be a bunch of my #eurorack designs with larger I/O boards, a ton of sane normalling, and a single common panel).
In my defense, I actually have a specific use-case in mind. I spent some time last weekend at BOOM Club in #DurhamNC (https://www.boom-club.org/) and ppl definitely seemed hesitant to touch the synths on display, despite it intentionally being set up as a synth petting zoo.
So what I *want* to do is similar to what the #Erica #Bullfrog does -- a friendly monosynth that demonstrates typical synth signal flow in a hands-on fashion.
Why not just use the Bullfrog? Well, mostly because I don't necessarily agree w/some of their choices :)
Like, I agree with "no built in keyboard" because Too Much Trouble. But I think "make weird squelchy noises" gets old quickly for most people, so I want to include a simple playable 8-step sequencer.
And I want the thing fully normalled so that there's a default working flow with zero patches -- but still make it patchable.
Now all I need is for freaking Trump to back down from his China tariffs . . .

Isn't it funny that all of sudden, no less than three legendary companies came up with such similar games at the same time? Which one is your favourite?

Hier bin ich, im Jahre 2023, und verlange eine #OpenSource Engine für das Spiel "Theme Park" von 1994, fast 30 Jahre nach dessen Erstveröffentlichung, welche auch unter #Linux läuft.
Eine Engine die dieses Spiel ähnlich wie #CorsixTH oder #openRCT2 unsterblich werden ließe. Ich verlange es jetzt und ich verlange es laut!

Un poil trop jeune, j'ai pas passé un temps démentiel sur le #Populous de #Bullfrog et #PeterMolyneux et encore moins sur sa version #AtariST, mais j'ai eu l'occasion de mettre la main pour pas cher sur sa jolie boîte alors je n'allais pas me priver.

I just found out that it's World Frog Day today and nearly missed it! Thanks to everyone whose images alerted me to it.
This was taken at the Miner's Marsh reserve, in the middle of #Kentville , #NovaScotia

African giant bullfrog battle: “The males occupy the center of the pond and fight to hold a place there. Their calls will attract females but they will have to get to the center if they’re to meet the strongest males. So if a male is going to mate that’s where he needs to be.”

I spent far too much time playing this game over 25 years ago when I was supposed to be learning for my final exams in school. But since I'm not in school anymore, I bought this new old stock version to find out if it's still fun. Let's try if it works in #dosbox tonight! #HiOctane #Bullfrog #MSDos #RetroGaming

I gave #ThemePark another look over at #TGOD : https://www.goodolddays.net/game/id%2C199/Theme-Park.html . Once again, I had two great hours with it. And then it went down the drain. It hasn't aged as well as it should have. Too much pretense, too little actual meaning behind all those mechanics. Yet, great-looking game!
