Eiji Aonuma, réalisateur des derniers Zelda, est devenu ce matin au Ministère de la Culture Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres
Il a conclu son discours en français pour son épouse, présente dans la salle : "Merci de m'avoir suivi jusqu'ici, continuons l'aventure ensemble" ♥️
My take on the "code is art" topic is that some forms of programming, especially in game development, are inherently an expression of design
There are so many ways to make a character move, all of which might be "correct". But games like Celeste or Metroid Dread would lose so much of their identity if their characters controlled like Mario. Every line of code that makes up their movement is intentional and expressive
The reason I think AI code in video games sucks is because a soulless monoloth that only spits out homogenized systems will never make something so intentional and beautiful. If you disagree with this, you don't appreciate video games the same way I do
If you wanna use AI to optimize the auth flow of your internal timesheet app at your job and make it easier to get your salary, I don't really give a fuck
Ravenous will be the first truly new 2D Metroid in ~20 years, excited to see what they can do with a blank slate after the genre has done so much evolving
