This isn't a joke, it's not hyperbole, this is what they actually said - and GN mentioned the same is happening to companies like G. Skill who have been selling RAM to consumers for *decades*

AKA I continue to be confused to find I'm living in a world with so many people for whom either ethics don't matter OR who find AI's unfair use of copyrighted training data, licensewashing, bias laundering, job displacement, and environmental harm ethical. Regardless of any benefits.

Added the game version, hash and time of the git commit at the time of the build to the pause menu of a game jam game. Nice way to be sure the version you're testing is the one you think!

I'm looking for an image of a graph I remember seeing on on bluesky (or maybe old twitter), but can't find anymore. It was a line graph about the "emotional rollercoaster of gamedev". The x axis was time, and the y axis was motivation/excitement to work on a game project. The curve has \

In an hour I'll stream some game dev on Ravioli Planet, a cooking game I'm making with my girlfriend. Come say hi! www.youtube.com/live/n8RuF5g... #indiedev #programming #noai #c

I'm implementing row "culling" for my immediate-mode table view. Here's debugging the stability of the row control IDs by visualizing them as colors. Much better than looking a numbers and try to spot a change! #gamedev #c #imgui #handmade

Quite often when using tools you don't really get enough information about what system resources it is using. This is something that specially bugs me when using resource heavy apps, so from the next version of Ark VCS it tracks all its resources in real time. #gamedev

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

I'm soft-launching my compiler project minc today. It compiles directly to minimal native executables for x64 Windows (PE), x64/ARM64 Linux (ELF), ARM64 macOS (Mach-O), ARM64 iOS, ARM64 Android (.so), and WASM. See minc.dev

peak gamedev comedy is when an enemy deals damage every frame instead of once

Enabled -Wimplicit-fallthrough on my engine+games codebase, and it solved a mystery for past seb!

I'm at A MAZE! Hit me up if you're into custom game engines or making game "from scratch" :) #amaze2026

YESSS! This is the baseline latency we should expect from a CI pipeline. Nice to see what can be done when you're in control and not github actions or whatever. (The time it takes for the little package icon to turn white or red is the duration my VPS takes to compile and run a trivial c file)

Working on a particle effect for this evil god. Doing random dithering instead of fading out with transparency, to match the pixel art aesthetic. What do you think?

looked a bit more into how Ark VCS has evolved, and there are really cool features! For example you can have your CI system annotate changelists (commits) with "build flags" (really build status). That will show a little icon next to the commit that can be clicked to open the corresponding build.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Ark VCS has finally reached 1.0! 🎉 youtu.be/XSnIw4siQ6U get it from ark-vcs.com

At long last, the Teardown talk from the 2025 Graphics Programming Conference has been posted 🎉 youtube.com/watch?v=IM1D... (as well as another drop of some other great-looking stuff, check the channel)

Agreed. As a game programmer and as a researcher.

experimenting with a new enemy in City of None with @liamberry.ca (haven't done the creature art yet, not sure what it's gonna look like)

Speaking of hard bugs, reminded me of this gem randomascii.wordpress.com/2018/01/07/f...

That seems incredibly useful! Always thought it was cumbersome to debug shaders by "returning" intermediary values. But a shader graph is not ideal either, I prefer code. This might be the best of both worlds!

This is fucking cazy, I love it! Also the fact the wheels are made many small rigidbodies

Last weekend I refined the scene tree view in Workbench. I used the drag & drop support in dear imgui to implement DAG reordering and reparenting, plus renaming. Custom behavior and drop region draw to show where the node would be inserted, and display where and why it cannot.

Is there a good online community (discord or whatever) for disussing specifically C programming (and only C programming), without being centered around a specific codebase? And to be precise, hand coded C, not AI generated or vibe coded. Got any tips for such spaces?

#GGJ25 has started on Monday already, but I'll start working on it now... Not a very original idea I have, but I like the idea :) Testing out the engine of @sebdegraff.bsky.social#GGJ25#gamedev

I green-screened myself into my new game to tell you all about my new game I’m such a nerd 🤓 My new game is about driving a 4x4 in a Furniture Store youtu.be/NZUTvsWC60Q

Eike is killing it over there! I'm impressed at how little time he took to implement a very functional animation tool. In good old C, using raylib. Nice short devlog too; made using the tool he built for the tuto.

Took me around 1 day to rework this tool to support keyframes per attribute instead of one keyframe for all attributes. Now ... back to what I wanted to start yesterday: Serializing the animations by their predefined types and allow using them in tutorial steps. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #raylib

Some better materials, proper branch scaling, more options for leaf placement, optional removal of the branch or the leaf submesh and various tech and visual improvements in general 🌿 This remains way too fun to play around with 😅 #gamedev #unity3d #madewithunity

John Carmack continues to be a giant disappointment. Romero is King of Doom Johns.

A first beta of my 2D game library Karl2D is now available: github.com/karl-zylinsk... It's raylib-like, written in Odin, has emscripten-free web builds and easy to modify.

for the life of me… how is: “cringe game. made by a liar…” and bringing up my r*pist an acceptable review for a game that a moderator cleared?? i tried to flag it again but it won’t let me. steam reviews that are personal attacks, and not at all about the game, are ok? how? #GameDev #Steam

Rust devs will tell you to stop using C because it's not secure while pulling 400 community packages with zero vetting just to build a calculator app.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

My "No Graphics API" blog post is live! Please repost :) www.sebastianaaltonen.com/blog/no-grap... I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

Since posting my debugging tale, I've learned more: - I can use an NVIDIA stats HUD to show dynamic changes to the GPU clock rate (which are very large). - A D3D12 method, SetStablePowerState, is available to disable these dynamic changes. Some numbers below! 1/

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

Do you already have a present 🧑‍🎄? It is only a little more than a month away! In other news, I managed to get tracks in the snow working 🥳 It just broke a few other systems, but I guess I can fix those 😅 I'm really happy how this is starting to look! #gamedev #raylib #cozygame #puzzlegame
