A side project for the past 40 days. 'Harbor' a Deadlock 4v4 map. gamebanana.com/mods/719980

PHYSINT and OD! Proud to build both with @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN in Japan. A big moment for XBOX.

Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 doesn't use any generative AI. Instead, they made over 600,000 animations by hand and used human artists for every asset in the game.

Everyone keeps telling me this comes out "on Tuesday." Nobody says which Tuesday. It's not Tuesday today, so either my informant is bad at dates or it's a code... Anyway, here's some WIP footage of the ezEdits Addon for Axiom.

Here's a full revamp of my original Warden fan redesign for Deadlock

The Odyssey is proof that "on my way" has never meant "be there soon"

Axiom has reached 10 million downloads on @modrinth! modrinth.com/mod/axiom Thank you everyone, you've changed our lives. Here's a cool cat.

Run fast

Robert Eggers Moby Dick movie with Willem Dafoe as Ahab would genuinely be life changing

I’m going to discuss this from purely Gen AI art, not code or other tooling. I just see this narrative a lot and have been thinking about it since Epics concept video. Speed. Acceleration. Faster. I don’t understand why “it’s faster” has become the default justification for AI. Faster isn’t automatically better. The value of art has never been measured by the speed of its production. Instant ramen is faster than making it from scratch. We know it’s not better than made from scratch. Faster in crafting something rarely means something as good or better. There’s also a broader cultural issue. Every time we replace a professional artist with a tool because it’s quicker, we create fewer paid opportunities for people to develop into exceptional artists. The industry becomes more efficient at producing images, while becoming worse at producing artists. Critical thinking and creativity declines, so all we end up with is mass-produced meaningless art and a small workforce of diminished creatives. Worse yet the overall talent pool diminishes. This obsession with speed also reflects a wider trend in modern work: every technology promises to save us time, yet we’re rarely allowed to spend that saved time creating something better. Instead, we’re expected to produce more. If AI lets an artist make ten illustrations instead of one, the commercial incentive is usually to deliver ten, not to spend ten times longer refining the one that matters. The work loses meaning. Art occupies a strange place because, unlike manufacturing, the process itself has value. With art, the choices, craftsmanship and individual perspective are often what people are paying for. The output is the culmination of that process. Efficiency can increase output while reducing the very thing that makes creative work meaningful. We’re removing consideration whenever we remove a human from any part of the process. Yes there will be some higher quality projects, but I guarantee the most creative projects will always be made by those who reject AI art and master their crafts to create something with meaning. Before everyone comes in and says “yes but games is a business”. It is… and? Do we not laud beautiful games that are the peak of our craft? When the industry keeps laying people off do you really care to defend the business model games currently operates under? Do you only want microtransactions? Some of us don’t. And well crafted, authentic and creator loved media tends to be more marketable than corpo-slop.

I wanted to just get a few of my own words out in relation to this. I've been working at Spark now for over 6 years. Every single person I have worked with during my time has been nothing but immensely passionate about Minecraft, and clearly do what they do because they love it!

Having a reputable company like @SparkUniverse with a genuine love for Minecraft and its modding community becoming the backbone of Modrinth is exactly what this scene needed.
