Investigating potential upgrades for my custom game engine's post-processing chain. I’ve started by replacing the old threshold-based Bloom with a physically based downsample/upsample approach. Source: lnkd.in/d6FGE9uW #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #customgameengine #detisengine

when you ask me about my gdscript code

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/

The blog post about the upcoming experimental sokol-gfx Vulkan backend is up: floooh.github.io/2025/12/01/s... (as always I'll need to do a couple more edits to fix typos and repetitions but first I'll need some food intake)

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...

Here's some cute bounding box functions for 2D shapes. A longer list here: iquilezles.org/articles/bbo...

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

Just released bc_crunch: a tiny (~700 LOC), C99 library for lossless BC1/BC4/BC3/BC5 compression. One .c/.h pair, no deps, no malloc GPU-ready output Zigzag + delta + popcount/dictionary tricks Tested Perfect for games, procedural assets, streaming textures. github.com/Geolm/bc_cru...

Streaming some tools programming on youtube in a bit: www.youtube.com/@seb_degraff I'll add features to the in-game editor that the game designer requested!

My fellow Europeans, I'm once again asking you to write or call your EU representatives and tell them this is unacceptable. They're essentially selling our sensitive data to companies, effectively destroying our privacy and risking our digital well-being. Check the site! fightchatcontrol.eu

🚨 "The Making of Double Fine's Keeper" is now available! 🚨 Many of you have been asking for this one; we're happy to say the cameras continued to roll here at the studio during Keeper's development. Come see how this very special game came to be, from the team themselves! 😊 youtu.be/1OOfRTfMnx0

If you are familiar with Reply All, but have no yet listened to @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social, listeners are saying the latest episode is a “banger”. You should maybe give it a shot.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Yeah, we only had 1 week of break between AI crawler attacks. This one is even hungrier than the last one.

Hi, @jay.bsky.team my name is Alex Goldman and I'm a journalist. I host a podcast called @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social and I'd love to talk to you about Bluesky if you'd be willing to talk.

"Just patch the game" they said. "It will be easy" they said.

A bit technical thread 🧵 I’ve been improving the in-game ambient occlusion system - and ended up with something I call: Blob-based Analytical Ambient Occlusion on Primitives Here’s what it does to the final image: (more examples later in the thread) (1/16)

Very cool to see Eike's progress on his project, and the sheer speed at which he's working. Also I find impressive how the smooth web build is. Try it!

Another attempt to upload this video to Bluesky! Halloween is coming and there is so much left to do! Like, for instance, wish listing 8-bitBot: store.steampowered.com/app/3959370/... #gamedev #raylib #solodev

New blog post! In "Billions of triangles in minutes" we'll walk through hierarchical cluster level of detail generation of, well, billions of triangles in minutes. Reposts welcome! zeux.io/2025/09/30/b...

-Wundef where have you been all my life?

Why did no one tell me you can implement a low pass filter in like 4 lines of C? 😤

wake up babe, new rxi lib just dropped github.com/rxi/sj.h

1 in 10 people in Gaza has now been massacred by Israel.

I love watching playtests, listening to them apologize for being bad at a game they've played for literally 1 minute, then watching them almost immediately proceed to do the sickest shit by sheer force of will.

Another puzzle idea; I am fascinated how nice the "code" of the bots look like and how it works in action, all without any collision. #gamedev #solodev #raylib

🔴 Livestreaming in 30 min: Adding items that entities can drop when they die or are destroyed. This is yet another project – a game we're prototyping with my studio, Asteroid Lab. Made in a custom engine, in C. #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Q5...

i thought i'd spin up the world sim again just to touch the wall and know it's there.

It's happening, we just launched Henry! ✨ Help us spread the word and write a review if you play it on Steam! 💜

I'm rewriting my profiler to support multithreading and it's starting to work! You can see the audio thread chugging along the main thread here:

There is something magical when snapshotting the game state starts working. I wish I'd done it sooner, it's going to be so useful during development. Rewind and replay coming up next! #indiedev #gamedev #c

Automatically adding metadata to struct members upon saving! This works on top of a custom build system that watches for file changes, then parses the structs in the file to generate reflection data. Now it also inserts code in the source file. Feels kind of forbidden, but also feels nice!

i've brought back the grass, which is actually a 3d model i made an engine before and used it for this project. it loads obj models so at first the blocks in my world were all actually 3d models that's why i had to redo a buncha stuff to add the bevelling, since i had to generate the faces myself
