New Siren Engine Devlog all about the switch to Rust! TL;DR - Memory safety features are amazing - Cargo is secretly Rust's killer feature - Porting to consoles will be hard

Hey, happy 30th birthday GameFAQs! Launched on November 5th, 1995! The earliest scrape I can find on Wayback is December 1996, but I doubt the site changed much. But yes, here it is in its earliest days as the Video Game FAQ Archive!

I've been using Rust for a little over a year now. When I look at my early code, a lot of it is really C/C++, but with Rust syntax. So I'm now rewriting the input/event handler for Siren. The resulting code is leaner, more efficient, and more idiomatic. 🦀

Alone In The Dark (1992) by Infogrames It was such a unique game at the time it launched. Needless to say my young self didn’t understand what I was supposed to do, but I loved the simplicity and the mood of the game. Spend hours exploring the manor and dying.

Stumbled upon a reddit post that basically said "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if they made a game like this!" ...and it's exactly my idea. It's encouraging that people in the thread love the idea. But I'm terrified that the idea is out there now, and I'm nowhere near ready to reveal anything.

My primary
#gamedev
project is still the Siren engine. But I also dabble with the
#playdate
a bit... I'm now wondering how feasible it would be to get some kind of version of Siren running on the Playdate via
#rustlang
bindings for the Playdate's C API.

This should be obvious and shouldn't need to be said. But AGI will NOT come from an LLM (if it ever comes at all.) When the day comes when Altman, or whoever, says their LLM has achieved AGI, they will be lying to you. Don't expect the media to fact-check them on it.

AI companies steal from developers to generate code, the same way they steal from artists to generate art. If I copy code from a repo I'm not licensed to use, that's a fireable offence. But if an LLM steals it and I use the LLM, it's suddenly ok?? That doesn't make sense.
