Marsh, Chris and Alex attempt our first remote pod to discuss AI-augmented game development and the various verbs of Doom Eternal.
This is a shorter pod than usual as we get used to a new way of recording – but we’re going to do our best to continue to deliver hot pods every week. We hope you’re staying well! Washyerhandseverybody.
- Here’s that interview with Google’s Erin Hoffman-John about game creation using machine learning. Who will reach the end of Mike Cook’s Takeshi’s Castle with their dignity intact?
- Here’s Ganbreeder (now Artbreeder), and here’s how Pascal Blanché has used it to do art.
- We’ve all been running and jumpiung and shooting and finding and chainsawing and flaming and grenading and glory-killing and collecting Funkos in Doom Eternal.
- Podcast recommendations!
- The BBC’s Boring Talks, particularly this one about Watergate tape silence.
- This American Life‘s backlog, specifically, Squirrel Cop and squid or bung.
- Sophie’s Dice! Ideal for yer remote roleplaying. Chris has also been getting used to roll20.
- Here’s Chris and Pip’s podcast about Animal Crossing, if you missed it.
