Hahaha Unity just announced a feature where you make up slop games with friends in a genAI group chat. There’s going to another wave of devs going to Godot, isn’t there? Also, have fun in the comments section everyone!

UE Gameplay Cameras Revived
I hinted at it last time I talked about my camera system for Unreal Engine: it might come back.
Well, now it sort-of has, and if you have some use for it, you can help by sponsoring its development and getting technical support for it! All the information can be found at my company’s website. And yes, my company is called “Brutal Baguette”1.
Obviously, if you were following my Gameplay Cameras articles here, you might want to start following the Brutal Baguette blog from now on. It will be fairly low frequency.

The collector’s conundrum: I have a punched version of White Bear & Red Moon that I can play, but my copy of Dragon Pass is unpunched… should I punch it to play with the newer rules and colour board, or should I leave it and stick to its predecessor?
Last week KamCon started with a bang: a concert of by the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, with local band Tayos opening for them. Too bad the acoustics were bad… I’ll have to try and catch both bands in other venues whenever possible!
After looking at several options for a website featuring payments and subscriptions, I understand why everybody’s raving about Ghost despite it lacking a whole bunch of basic features: it’s the cheapest option, and it has 0% transaction fees.
It’s amazing to see the amount of time, resources, and energy game-devs pour into CRPGs to get even a fraction of the immersive, reactive worlds we achieve in TTRPGs with, like, a handful of dice and a few bullet points in a notebook…
I was just reminded that we actually have a horror movie festival in Vancouver this month? It’s the Vancouver Horror Show (VHS), and it has some interesting entries this year! (ITHAQUA, DRAG, IMPOSTERS, and more)
I often mix up “Watership Down” and “Black Hawk Down”, and since I only know one of the two, I make wild assumptions about the other one which, frankly, would probably make it twice as good.
“Canada’s AI governance has a built-in conflict of interest”: we should really spend all that money to build generic data centres and team-up with the EU on alternative solutions to US tech.
This is lovely: a website that interactively explores the Catalogue of Ships from Homer’s The Iliad.
