    Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii releases game he says he made with AI in about 30 minutes

    Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii shared a text-based interrogation game on X, saying it took about 30 minutes to make with AI. He said AI now lets people make a decent game alone by giving instructions, even without drawing or programming skills, and compared it to making The Portopia Serial Murder Case by himself in 1983. In the game, players question a 72-year-old former locksmith named Komiya before a lawyer arrives at 11pm, using evidence to break his lies as his agitation rises and his resistance hits 100.

    Circana analyst calls US hardware market most precarious since the early 80s after Xbox and PS5 sales slumps

    Circana analyst Mat Piscatella said Xbox hardware unit sales fell 33% year over year through August 2026, while PlayStation sales dropped 25%, putting Xbox at an all-time US year-to-date low and PlayStation at its lowest since 2013. The average price paid for an Xbox console in 2026 is 26% higher than in 2025 and PlayStation 20% higher, both all-time highs that he attributes mainly to a component crisis. Piscatella said the US hardware market has not been in a more precarious position since the early 80s, and the piece notes the 1983 market crash and the later recovery led by the NES.

    I Ranked Video Game Houses By How Much I'd Actually Want To Live In Them

    A GameSpot piece ranks houses from video games purely by how practical and pleasant they would be to actually live in, judging layout, facilities, location, storage, outdoor space, and "the vibe." Each property is also weighed for the odds of being murdered in your sleep, supernatural interference, and signs of an impending apocalypse, assuming you can afford it. Stardew Valley's farmhouse comes first, praised for space to keep animals and grow your own food.

    Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams on why he hates generative AI

    Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams says he has never been tempted to use generative AI in the game, calling AI-written code bloated and saying you can tell a vibe-coded game when your computer fan starts spinning. He notes he has worked with traditional AI for decades but now avoids the term entirely, and says only platform pressure from Microsoft could force him toward generative AI.

    Haunted Chocolatier Is 'More of an Action RPG' Compared to Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe Says

    ConcernedApe (Eric Barone) said Haunted Chocolatier is more of an action RPG than Stardew Valley, with its main focus on adventuring, finding equipment and getting more powerful, plus monsters and boss fights. It is set in a more "metaphysical" locale and is aimed at Stardew Valley players who go into the mines. The game still has no release date, as does the Stardew Valley 1.7 update.

    Why Games Workshop's Falling Share Price Is All of a Sudden in the News

    Warhammer 40,000 maker Games Workshop has drawn news attention over its falling share price, down 13.76% over the past six months despite record profits. Two financial press reports last week, including one citing a confidential Dragoneye document that wiped £480 million off the company's value, fueled investor unease about slowing growth. Games Workshop said in a mid-September update that trading to August 30 was in line with the Board's expectations for the current financial year.

    Why Paying "Market Price" for Rare Pokémon Card Sets Became the New Normal

    Supply and demand have made buying Pokémon TCG products at MSRP nearly impossible, so "market price" has become the default metric for many collectors. Marketplaces like TCGplayer estimate that price using factors such as rarity, artwork, contents, and meta impact — for example, Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Boxes listed above $350 on eBay are estimated at $153.54 on TCGplayer. The Pokémon Company printed over 10 billion cards last year and improved pull rates in the 30th Celebration expansion, but demand remains too high for MSRP to return as the norm.

    Stardew Valley creator's Haunted Chocolatier is "more of an action RPG" than a farming sim

    Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone said in a GQ interview that his upcoming game Haunted Chocolatier is "more of an action RPG" than a farming sim, focused on adventuring, finding equipment and getting more powerful, with monsters and boss fights. He described it as a more "metaphysical" experience and said it's for "the people in Stardew Valley that go into the mines." There is still no release date, with Barone saying no one is playing the game until he's ready to show it.

    The Blood of Dawnwalker's lead actor on why AI will always struggle to replicate a human performance

    Will de Renzy-Martin, who plays lead character Coen in the English version of The Blood of Dawnwalker, says generative AI can only replicate the way his voice sounds, not his personality or the choices he makes in the room. Developer Rebel Wolves previously used text-to-speech AI tools to plan cinematics before hiring actors, though nothing in the game was created with AI. He added that anyone using AI-generated voices would still need someone to interact with it and get the desired performance, and that person would cost more than an actor.

    Stardock's Brad Wardell on Clairvoyance: Most AI Work Is Not About Replacing the Creative Work

    Stardock founder and CEO Brad Wardell discussed Clairvoyance, an app that began as an internal tool and is now free, running a team of AI agents locally on Windows, macOS and Linux on top of tools like Claude Code and Codex. He said much of game-making time goes to grunt work such as build errors, importers and hunting for assets, so AI's best use is freeing artists and designers to create rather than replacing them. He argued digital distribution, not AI, is breaking AAA economics, with around 30,000 games expected on Steam this year making attention the scarce resource.

    Doom 2016 Composer Mick Gordon Says 'F**k AI'

    Mick Gordon, the composer behind 2016's Doom soundtrack, said "F**k AI" when asked at PAX Australia 2026 whether he would use generative AI in his creative process. He argued generative AI is always behind humans because it is trained on what humans have already created and can never predict the new thing. Gordon has contributed music to Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, out October 14, and is still working on the soundtrack for the squad-shooter Defect.

    Game Developers Debate: Does Game Jam Still Matter When Everyone Uses AI?

    Game developers on Reddit are debating whether Game Jam still has meaning as generative AI spreads through the scene, with one poster saying nearly half the participants at a recent jam were "vibe coding." Critics argue AI-generated entries flood the field and undermine community exchange, noting that GMTK and Brackeys jams have disqualified a considerable number of games, while supporters say AI only removes tedious mechanical work and the goal of shipping a complete game still stands.

    From Top-Grossing Genre to Halved Revenue: Why MMO Mobile Games Collapsed

    MMO mobile game in-app purchase revenue fell from $5.3 billion in 2021 to $2.8 billion in 2025, a 47% drop that far outpaced the RPG genre's 38% decline and the broader mobile market's 1% dip, according to an analysis by Naavik. Downloads also dropped 40%, from 345 million to 206 million, and revenue fell another 27% year-over-year from January to September 2026. The report attributes the structural collapse to engagement fatigue, spending fatigue and gameplay homogenization, compounded by open-world adventure RPGs like Genshin Impact raising the bar.

    Star Wars Galactic Racer devs tested its roguelite progression system by turning it into a board game

    Fuse Games prototyped Star Wars Galactic Racer's roguelite progression system as a board game to validate how it feels. The system hands out tuning points for one of three random stats and parts that affect a speeder's abilities or grant status-effect bonuses, with credits spent after several races on upgrades, parts, or a new ability. Creative director Kieran Crimmins said a board game was the fastest tool for validating the emotion behind upgrades and meta progression.

    Yahtzee Is Still Out There Being Mean About Videogames, and Good for Him

    Yahtzee Croshaw's Zero Punctuation continues as Fully Ramblomatic on the Second Wind YouTube channel after The Escapist shut down. The piece argues his rudeness about games reads as deep care, with praise as well-observed as his criticism, such as noting how South Park: The Stick of Truth's turn-based combat leaves natural gaps for jokes. The videogame industry deserves to be disrespected now and then.

    Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's achieved his career dreams, but keeps working because it's 'good for preventing dementia'

    Yoko Taro, creator of Nier and Drakengard, said at the Tokyo French Institute last month that he had already realized his vision as a director and has considered retiring. He said he continues working in game development partly for the money and because he fears mental decline from idleness, calling it "good for preventing dementia." He also said he hopes to dodge the "flames" of competition from younger, AI-assisted generations before he dies.
