Are physics related bugs the most fun to play with?

Normal game developer: "I will add ImGui to display useful information and help me debug my game." Me:

What I have frequently heard programmers say over the years: (1996) "Lines of Code" is a terrible metric (2006) "Lines of Code" is a terrible metric (2016) "Lines of Code added" is a terrible metric (2026) I have to use AI because it's the only way to meet my company's "Lines of Code added" quota

Adventure Jampilation is now my most redeemed game on Steam! The fact that it's free might have played a role 🤣 BTW... I only have 5 reviews and one is negative because it's "crappy 2D minigames" 🥲 care to give me a hand? store.steampowered.com/app/4096750/...

I have no idea what an extraction shooter really is. I can only think of tfc hunted.

It's been a while since I do a semi technical blog post but here I am, sharing my second part of the "how I use ECS in my games" series (in 2.5y I will write the 3rd part xD): arielcoppes.dev/2026/03/29/d... If you are using ECS, would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for reading!

Just released a prototype I made few months back. Introducing: MICROBIOUS Researchers in Czechoslovakia are studying the properties of a microbe and how it reacts to Anti-bodies. You are the microbe, survive.

Some cool games in here.

So @mikerose.bsky.social & I decided to do a silly podcast comparing notes about indie games & their history & also about suddenly being middle-aged & tired As anyone who knows both of us could have guessed, shenanigans ensued immediately Introducing ⭐ Mike & Rami Are Still Here ⭐ mikeandrami.com

Bennethon made these super cute games using his kids for the voices, they started from PowerQuest jams and they're really fun, easily worth a few bucks!

i am willing to pay at least $50 to someone who can credibly promise, with a high degree of accuracy, that they can hit me in the head with a golf club and destroy the part of my brain which can read and understand this

Matt found the original "brainstorming document" for FTL - Written on a big roll of paper in his apartment in Shanghai over beers. You can see a lot of the foundational ideas there, but this was before we even pictured having ship-to-ship combat.
