Black Creator SpotlightA year of interviews with Black game developers. / Photo by DBLTAP2020 was a summer of rage. Three high-profile killings of Black people — Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd — led to a flood of protests demanding justice. I marched at some of those protests, but it was hard to escape the feeling of helplessness. We could chant for hours, some of us could get maced and arrested, and we could come back to do it all again. But the power to create real change lay

Atari announced that the company was going through some big changes back in April when it named a new CEO and essentially split the entire company into two distinct companies, the Atari Gaming and Atari Blockchain divisions. Now, that decision is coming to a head on the gaming front, as Atari CEO Wade J. Rosen revealed the decision to refocus on premium game development.  This move means that Atari, which previously moved away from working on larger games and instead released mobile and free-to-play titles, will now pivot into a

[embedded content] There’s a ton of video games out there that never got finished. For whatever reason, games just end up getting scrapped and never get any kind of an announcement or release into the marketplace. One of those games that were scrapped and not meant to be played was a title called American Hero. This was an FMV that originally was slated to release in the 1990s, but it was lost to time after the Atari Jaguar CD discontinued shortly after its release. If you don’t recall the Atari

Machine learning models have already mastered Chess, Go, Atari games and more, but in order for it to ascend to the next level, researchers at Facebook intend for AI to take on a different kind of game: the notoriously difficult and infinitely complex NetHack. “We wanted to construct what we think is the most accessible ‘grand challenge’ with this game. It won’t solve AI, but it will unlock pathways towards better AI,” said Facebook AI Research’s Edward Grefenstette. “Games are a good domain to find our assumptions about what makes machines

To many boxing fans who also like video games, the perfect gaming analogue to their favorite sport has been the Fight Night series for a long time. Many know it today as the go-to EA Sports franchise for ultra-realistic boxing that was somewhat regularly released back in the early-to-mid 2000s. Even today the facial damage and fighting styles of certain famous boxers is pretty impressive despite the games being a decade or more old. Collision detection and realistic visual representation of the action on-screen were top-notch and had to be

Dinosaurs! Everyone loves the scaly beasts! Or are they even scaley? I can barely keep up with that particular part of canon anymore. Brontosaurus never existed, all my favorite dinosaurs actually looked a whole lot different, tyrannosaurus rex was ate carrion and didn’t hunt – or did he? Anyway, we are gathered here tonight to celebrate video games that feature dinosaurs. Those beloved ancient beasts, staple food of any healthy boy’s diet. Or girl’s diet. Not that love for dinosaurs would be gender specific. Dinosaurs are a huge thing in
