It sounds like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 developer Warhorse Studios' future projects won't be translated entirely by human hands. Earlier today, a Reddit post was shared to the game's subreddit from Max Hejtmánek, a Czech to English translator and editor on the developer's most recent game, where he claimed that yesterday, March 27th, he was laid off "in favour of using AI for all translations going forward."

Austria is the latest country to prepare a social media ban for its children, but it's going even further than others by including anyone under 14. In a press release, the Austrian government said it has introduced a comprehensive catalogue of measures meant to shield minors from the harms of social media.

A translator who worked on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 claims Warhorse Studios will use AI for translations going forward

The problem with playtesting is that it is impossible to predict every last thing any given person may do once a game is out in the wild. It's an imperfect science where you do the best you can in the moment. I imagine a live service game like Arc Raiders to be extra difficult, given how many playstyles need to be accounted for. And based on a recent interview, it sounds like some of the team at Embark took an approach that involved a randomiser determining their own playstyle from day to day to...

It's been a little over a year since the release of Wanderstop, the debut game of Ivy Road, itself a studio made up of Stanley Parable, Gone Home, and Minecraft talent.

Hey baby, I think I want to carry you. A lot of arcade controllers tend to lean more towards function over form, sacrificing attractive aesthetics for something that simply works as intended. But what if you could have both? That’s exactly what accessory manufacturer Brook has attempted to do with its Fighter Starburst, a leverless controller that’s as nice to look at as it is to use. It’s got a pretty hefty price tag to boot, but if you’re after something that looks and feels premium, then this...

Ivy Road, the video game developer behind Annapurna-published cozy game Wanderstop, is shutting down on March 31.
