Game Dev Unchained

About this episode: AI Generation have jumped into the art scene faster and more furious than anyone has anticipated. Artists are at contention with each other on whether it's a technology that should be embraced or is entirely destructive to all creative industries.

About this episode: Ryan Bullock have worked on the biggest games in the industry but in 2018 he was among a small group of developers that moved into Tech transferring the same skillset he has accumulated. This is a move that has become more prevalent in recent years, something that makes Ryan pretty much a pioneer in this space, relatively speaking. In this episode, he explains the differences he's seeing as well as what needs to be done to bridge the gap between the two industries.  https://www.artstation.com/rsbullock https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryryb https://twitter.com/RBullock Connect with us: • 🖥 http://gamedevunchained.com • 🎞️ https://www.youtube.com/c/GameDevUnch... • ✉️ info@gamedevunchained.com • 💰 https://anchor.fm/gamedevunchained/su... •📸 http://instagram.com/gamedevunchained
