- I've made lots of progress this week on the RTS, and developing a workflow with the AI. I've published some of the retrospectives to my #github io page. This one might be useful for others adopting AI coding workflows with #git and #github #gamedev #ai #claude zinkem.github.io/2025/12/10/a...
- After setting up the hooks and seeding GitHub issues with a 45 minute sprint planning session, these coding sessions practically run themselves-- the AI can find issues, prepare PRs, and present them for your feedback. #agile #software #engineering

- I vibe coded a substantial subset of Warcraft 2 yesterday. I know AI is controversial in games-- but this was created entirely in code by Opus 4.5 during a full day session of design and debugging Tech tree, fog of war, and an AI opponent #ai #indiedev #gamedev youtu.be/ZTP-rZWSXAw?...
- This is the title screen from the end of the day... The game has a dev tool available from the menu, right now it shows the screen I was using to audit the building designs. There is also a configuration screen when you start the game to adjust map parameters #gamedev #indiedev #vibecoding
