Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams is as tired of genAI in the industry as anyone else, and is pretty set on never using it
Another day of news, another day in which I find something genAI-related to write about while sighing. But, lo and behold, for once, it isn't a case of a company shifting gears to prioritise AI usage over paying workers, or a studio tucking its tail between its legs admitting 'yes, we used it, but...

The happiest man in gaming hates generative AI
It's impossible to not be swept up in Tarn Adams' enthusiasm. To speak to him is to feel like you're talking to the happiest man in gaming. Along with his brother Zach, he's been working on the wonderfully chaotic procedurally generated world of Dwarf Fortress since 2002, and he is far from tired...

Poly Fighter Early Access Preview—Building Muscle Through RNG
I remember when I first saw Poly Fighter appear on one of my socials. My love for fighting games had just been rekindled by Street Fighter 6, and its central hook—a tournament fighting roguelike—genuinely intrigued me. It’s kind of a tired joke now that one of the safer genres in the indie space is...

City of Heroes: Homecoming adds new powersets and PvPvE mode alongside its Halloween event
We can understand if people are tired of content that is some mixture of PvP and PvE content by this point, really we can, but will you give an extra pass if the content in question is part of a well-respected and well-known existing game? City of Heroes: Homecoming has released Issue 28, page 4,...

Jagex pull Runescape trailer and apologise for genAI use after complaints about six-fingered knights, pinning the blame on a "trusted external partner"
I'm really tired of writing about genAI today. It's my first news shift with RPS, and within a few hours, I've written three stories that are solely about genAI use by modders, indie outfits and now, somehow, Jagex. Still, the horrors persist, and so I must continue reporting on them. As part of...

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lead is "bored and tired" of "repetitive" RPGs and "games for teenagers"
There are some well-worn tropes in RPGs. The protagonist is often some form of destined saviour, on a quest to defeat a cartoonishly evil villain, with a selection of side-characters along the way. Warhorse Studios actively rejects all of that when it comes to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, because in...

I put UFO sightings in Grand Theft Auto 5, though it didn't quite go to plan
Every nation has its kooks—excepting of course the Swiss—but there's something utterly American to me about the UFO sighting. It's probably something to do with the sheer size of the place. A tired, potentially hopped-up trucker, trundling across the endless plains of… whatever state has endless...
