ProjectHack v0.5.2 release post, Bosses get their revenge, and research is now active. projecthack.net/blog/boss_pen... #incremental#incrementalgames #indiegames

I don't know what patch release caused the problem, but trying to wake my MacMini M4 running macOS 26 from sleep is almost impossible these days, I have to power it off via the button and back on.

🎙️ Just published a new episode of PW Podcast: Prototyping with simple on-screen elements. Have a listen:

Email from Unity this morning saying I will loose some packages I purchased because of rule changes in China. They said purchases in the last six months are valid for a refund if desired.

First two months this year have been crazy busy, and it looks to keep going! buymeacoffee.com/pwcom/busy-t...

When you try to animate cows in the new game and it all goes a bit weird! Maybe the Aliens already messed with them? LOL

I find it weirdly funny people are worried now about loosing their AI jobs since they are essentially helping to replace themselves and therefore succeeded at the job they were hired for. Just a little Friday humor and sadness.

Human 1, AI 0

The eternal decision. Work on my apps or work on my games or Podcast or livestream. It’s tough being a creator these days

Agentic coding in Xcode 26.3 www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/0...

Project Hack version 0.2.0 release notes pwitham.itch.io/projecthack/d...

It's coming, do you feel the need to Hack the truth?

The “Apple Experience” died a while back, they are just as bad as everyone else whilst spending money on PR to try and convince users otherwise

There are some really interesting things in this release of Godot godotengine.org/releases/4.6/

IntelliJ IDEA turns 25! Become the hero of our birthday postcards too. #IntelliJIDEA25 postcards-service.labs.jb.gg/postcard/b1e...

OK this is not Apple's fault and I'm not implying it is. But this whole thing is getting out of hand. The Internet is World Wide (mostly) and this path of countries having their own requirements for stores is a slippery path to control and oversight

🎙️ Just published a new episode of PW Podcast: Life and project balance. Have a listen:

Why yes, I do read daily.dev a fair amount :)

Working hard to finish the Android version of Job Finder Tracker. It now supports multiple resumes, something that the iOS version does not have yet. Learn more about the app at peterwitham.com/mobile-projec...

A note for those running Unreal Engine 5.7. x on Linux. I've found that the UI behaves weirdly, especially with menus and pop-ups. For me, going back to 5.6.x fixed it on CatchyOS at least.

Is it just me or are AI related activities costing more tokens than they used to? I feel like I'm burning through them on the same kind of tasks a lot quicker than say 1-2 months ago?

I am enjoying my first play-through of Star Rupture on the early Steam release. As a bonus, I'm playing it on Linux, and the performance is better than Windows youtu.be/PKiI5B-IXgc

I've just submitted a holiday project to the App Store - MathDown! A markdown editor with LaTeX support and in-document math evaluation and simplification, fully native for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. If that sounds fun to you, sign up to be notified when it's released! mathdown.app

Currently working on Job Finder Track for Android, you asked, I listened. Here are some screen grabs to tease. iOS version at peterwitham.com/jft

Woot, what a way to end the year! I do love reading daily.dev @dailydotdev.bsky.social

As one journal prepares to be closed forever, next years looks forward to fresh ink ready to hit the page. Going with some Color Verse TexMax. A nice deep spicy Red.

Today is all about fixing up my YouTube channel, I have been very negligent in keeping the content meta updated. Https://youtube.com/peterwitham

Medieval Dynasty is a fun game. I feel like I'm making progress by not dying and by actually starting to build my village. A great way to relax over my vacation, assuming the wolves don't get me LOL youtube.com/post/UgkxqWw...

I am curious how developers that make those cool vlogs showing development over time make the videos? Do you literally record your screen and whatever for the whole session then edit (huge files) or is there a trick? #vlogs #devlogs

A great use of AI was creating a quick username profanity filter for ProjectHack.net #indiedev #indiegamedev #ai

🎙️ Just published a new episode of PW Podcast: End of year review and thinking about 2026. Apps, Journaling, Learning and Plans. Have a listen:

OK it’s happening. My project over the holiday is to install Linux on my old Intel iMac and make my new offline media center. Screw you streaming service overlords

It's another rough Monday with tragic events around the World. Hang in there, everyone. We win as long as we stay strong and believe in the good folks out there to combat evil.

I'm very excited to have a first beta out of a new SDK that I so far call MediaKit (I regret the name already). The idea is to make it super simple to create streaming media apps with Swift and SwiftUI. It's is so far pretty simple, but I look forward to working on it. github.com/Kankoda/Medi...

OMG, it is finally Friday, and it seems like this week was longer than usual. Happy Friday, everyone. Let's make the weekend count before those Mondays keep coming around.

I am curious to learn why Claude bought Bun. Anyone?

New episode of my UIBuzz Podcast -> Game balancing as a game developer and other updates. peterwitham.com/2025/uibuzz/...

Pen and paper is still my go to for initial prototype thinking, especially with game development.

The crunch to get everything done before 2 days is real. But I think I'm winning the battle.
