I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below 👇 #threejs #webgpu

When struggling with a design, I've always known when I've had a breakthrough because the solution is obvious in retrospect.

I think this is why a lot of good design goes unnoticed - because you think that's obviously how it should look and work. But getting there is always challenging.

Ah this is great! Game design has a similar concept in “core pillars” or “design pillars”. What you wrote seems to work there too.

Just updated one and it got way more useful:

“The party shares resources”
→ "Have the party share resources"
→ “Have _and make_ the party share resources"

Why Most Design Principles Fail Many design principles are really statements of values. Values describe what a team believes. Principles guide decisions. Values express intent. Principles h...

Most design principles fail.

Not because teams don’t have them, but because they’re written like slogans instead of decision tools.

Beat Elden Ring, no idea where you find these guys from the intro

i got room scrying working. it seems promising. i just murdered 2 gold eaters and used the contents of their internal organs to pay for augury.

this spell is "golden oracle". you pay 1 gold to (imperfectly) reveal what's in another room. you re-cast to make the reading more accurate if you want.

Here's a quick intro to FragCoord, what it can do and how to use it! Hope it helps!

Been really excited to get this out there!

Arranger feels (surprisingly?) great on mobile, especially at 60fps now. And you can finally support it with your money!

Quite proud of how this trailer turned out. #gamedev

It’s worth mentioning that this was made by six guys in their dorm room for a sci-fi convention, and all six of them (which includes the creator of Evangelion) would go on to define the anime industry for decades to come.

Oh are those a wider thing? The only one I’ve seen is Sokpop. :D

I don’t know, not sure if I would fit into very communal setups. Just a 39-year old probably-autist tinkering with graphics in the corner of a living room here.

Not sure why I bother doing all this admin, dealing with all this stress, and paying other people money, just so I get to keep doing things I'd be doing anyway.

Man, I've been a solo entrepreneur since 2017, but this is the first time I've considered quitting. Got a big pile of extra tax-related work and stress thrown at me because… I haven't made enough money.

We cannot meaningfully separate everyday usage of “AI” from the machine of death and war. If you’re upset by the military-industrial complex? These tools feed it; they *are* it.

I’m not entirely sure! The black thing must be inverted hull outline mesh. There was a possibility of a super rare near-zero division in some lighting calculations, but I don’t know why it would affect the outline mesh like that. So… it must’ve been a ghost.

Thank you once again for taking a tricky technical subject and moving it from out of reach to within reach!

"Critics of LLMs" are constantly told the need to acquiesce to the terms of debate set by those who seem utterly incurious as to why so many people reflexively recoil from LLM output
