HARDCORE!
Scorpion drinking mate 🧉 figure on work desk.
Now I'm settled.
The journalling journey.
I feel that the attention to detail that the hand crafted world has is one of the main reasons the devs can engineer the pacing over the game and also how much tension the player feels.
You stopped being GAMEDEV and became GAMEDEV++?
That's because you have NO CLASS.

ok Ill see myself out.
Not bad! (Still need to adjust the building sizes - don't judge my null Blender skills)
Image of Independent Skies prototype. Ranges of buildings.
Game Design challenge: positioning and extension of areas on Independent Skies. Main issue: Logistic ranges (area where the workers reach) make players build just in center (DUH!).
Ideas I'm working on: either "range is limitless on this terrain" or "logitsics extenders". I think im trying both.
Another Journal into the retirement home.
Yep i think ill code standing up today
When you remember how many UI fixes your prototype needs.
As a software eng, it is inherently satisfying to see an open approach beat close approaches in an innovative field.
Linux is open: Windows is closed
Llama, Deepseek, Mistral are open: OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic& many others others closed
Closed approaches winning almost always lead to monopolies.

That UI looks super slick, love it!
Hey why nobody told me Zootopia wasn't half bad?
How about "another resource" being "tower experience"? you unlock the base towers normally but the upgrades happen after them killing X amount of mobs.
Anyone else using this time dilated week to push cool things into your gamedev projects? I would love to see what you are doing 😊 🕹️
it looks super cozy like you could sink your face on it and breath so it gets warmer <3

Being able to see how Amsterdam city lights slowly turn on, giving way to the evening vibes in the city would be super super charming if it wasn't for the fact that it's 4.30 in the afternoon.
20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.
The law only ever serves capital.
A man walks into his apartment and says "glad to be home from work. time to change." He undergoes a Sailor Moon-like magical girl transformation, where a star pendant erupts into pink ribbons that cover his body and turn into his home clothes, a tattered Ween shirt and dirty sweatpants.
The Cerritos Bridge Crew
Last Star Trek Lower Decks' episode wasn't memorable but gave us this amazing scene of the Bridge Crew.
Not a lot of feelings that hit the spot Soo right as coming back from a good date. 👏
Celebrating nice things is not ego-stroking! Contratulations and looking forward to see what's coming!
... there is a 3???
Prepare to have the internet hivemind concluding your politial affiliations out of that article.
HARDCORE

There's been a LOAD of new folks on Bluesky since I created the 'Indie Game Publisher' starter pack as a resource for indie devs, so time for an update.
