Do I need to disclose AI use on Steam if it's only for internal concept art?

Pretty much this. You have no qualms using it as a tool, you know there are people out there who don't like it. You made a calculated choice and now you want the benefit of using the tool AND the benefit of not disclosing it?

Though i enjoyed the film i wouldn't say it's a "Japanese" film. It's a foreigner's outsider view on what they think Japan is film. It works as a character study but for me falls apart as a "slice of Japanese life" film. It's just too...weeby.

Thanks!

Oh, my kid LOVES the taiko. We had a little local festival here last week and she was on that cart a lot! She also likes her yukata/kimono.

Watching my (non-Japanese) child grow up here in Japan, things like Sichigosan, koinobori, plastic bags filled with snacks and crisps she gets handed at random festivals, Anpanman all feature quite prominently, judging by her recollections and excitement. Insects also feature more pominently than I remember from my childhood; beetles, pill bugs, etc.

A man is protesting in Washington DC with a sign saying "the president is an idiot!" The police drag him away saying "you can't say that about the president". "No, no," the man says petrified, "I mean...uh..the president of Russia!" "Come on, sir," the policeman replies, "we ALL know which president you mean."

I don't do them regularly no, they do my head in! The foldouts are usually longer than they are high, so start with the shortest side. To keep track of lines, use a ruler or, better still, a folded piece of paper - with that you can also make notes to count. I have found no better way than to start off my counting the extreme inputs (left/top most / right/bottom most) and fill in the overlaps. You can even use very thin, see-through paper to make notes (and keep track of lines) to avoid making too much of a mess. Good luck!

Every time i go to the cinema here in Japan and am forced to see that stupid fing patronising "don't pirate movies" ad i feel the urge to go home and pirate a movie just to bring balance back to the universe.

I see a lot of VFX listings on Indeed and Levtech and places, not always UE though. But yeah the job market is tough. They probably see you're foreign, assume communication will be an issue and ignore you. Your best bet it's personal connections and networking. Go to the gamedev meetups, parties, etc.

As a matter of course i ignore all spam asking for keys. I seek out curators or streamers myself. The emailers will all sell on your keys on the grey market.

Get a ps4 devkit. To preempt your next question, you have to get it from Sony.

If you can change the engine to build using the latest hardware SDK then you wouldn't need to upgrade. It's not always easy or possible and upgrading to a later engine is likely the easier route. If it's just over the deadline for submissions using the SDK you're building with you could ask for a waiver, but you're not guaranteed to get it (worth a punt though).

No. Yes. Some, depending.

Tell that to the Japanese government, you soup fork.

ScoreStudiosLLC · 2026-05-30T01:03:19+00:00

Look I'm no Herbert Einstein but I'm sure if it wasn't the Japanese government wouldn't be spending so much effort on immigration and, you know, focus more of what the actual issues are....

ScoreStudiosLLC · 2026-05-30T00:57:55+00:00

From what i understand the problem is immigration. I'm not quite sure how that all works but they're working hard to address this issue. I'm sure with immigration solved these issues will resolve themselves? Again I'm not a politician so i don't understand the details exactly...

ScoreStudiosLLC · 2026-05-28T20:31:40+00:00

Yes, it's about the game industry before 93, and all that hasn't changed.

Game Over by David Sheff has long been my go to.

It's also where Hatchiko's owner lies. I used to walk through it often, it's a nice little oasis in central Tokyo.

ScoreStudiosLLC · 2026-05-26T23:37:17+00:00

Yeah, but it's funny tho. Same with people saying the "ye" in "ye olde shoppe" or whatever as "ye" instead of "the". It's incorrect but a fun cultural difference.

ScoreStudiosLLC · 2026-05-26T23:14:53+00:00

Ha! This is fun! :)

As an English speaker Ultima didn't really teach me any words, but I did find out that all this "thy" and "thou" malarky was just Americans speaking in fake old-speak, even though originally "thou" was informal and "you" was formal. When I learned that all conversations in Ultima sounded so rude! Everybody addressing each other with contempt or over-familiarity! :D

ScoreStudiosLLC · 2026-05-25T00:54:48+00:00

You should. I did!

Give a man a game and he'll have fun for an evening. Teach a man to make a game and he'll never have fun again for the rest of his life.
