- noise crystals
- I hacked github.com/catprisbrey/... into an isometric character controller with radial strafing... for reasons! #gamedev #godotengine
- diamond hands
- will of the wisps
- The factory assumes execution is hard. In software, understanding is hard.
- mirror life
- finally caved and joined noisedeck.app for early access I fell off the #genuary train this year because... life. My hope is to keep up a (psuedo) daily practice of shader art with Noisedeck 🤞
- Vibe coding is basically 3D printing. Faster, cheaper, do it at home... and mostly produce stuff no-one wants in the process!

- new terrain and too much fog 🌫️ #gamedev #godotengine

- hot damn www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNjY...
- added 'edible' obstacles the swarm can munch their way through - like coral 🪸 #gamedev #indiegame (I almost have a solid game loop here but I think the swarm needs to starve if they don't get energy for a while? the only way you lose is if a purple bomber enemy blows you up currently)
- Reposted by ben ✶you’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song. here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.

- needed to read this thread far more than I expected
- I did one of those 'review posts', 2025 was a big year of experimentation. I am looking forward to less breadth, more depth in 2026. shimmeringvoid.substack.com/p/2025-in-re...

- me: I want to play shadow of the colossus mum: we have shadow of the colossus at home #gamedev #godotengine
- how it feels to use AI
- I am starting to suspect that many of the people discussing AGI are not 'generally intelligent' themselves
