So true. If you write things no one wants to read, LLMs can help you immensely.

As I've wrapped up with #seaofcannons v1 for #gameoffjam, I have a few paths... - Start on a 2d rocket game - Expand on Sea of Cannons - Continue my Ultima-like - Do yet another game jam (bit jam, 7drl) - Youtube video on the making of Sea of Cannons

Finished my latest game in time for Thanksgiving. Grab a device and enjoy firing cannons at your family & friends! Highest score gets an extra piece of pie. 🥧 deathray.itch.io/sea-of-cannons #gamedev #webgames #p2p #2dwaves #seaofcannons

Name ideas: Sea of Pixels, Sea of Cannons, Battle for the Ectoil Sea, Cannon Party, ... ? 🗳 The plot/lore is that you're poor ship-captain mercenaries fighting over a sea region that is flush with "ectoil", a fuel from dead leviathans. The gameplay is just pew-pew though, so it's not that deep.

Finally some #screenshotsaturday shots of the game I've been working on for a few weeks for #GitHubGameOff It's a 2d, #javascript, physics-based, #p2p game where you frantically fire cannonballs at each other to get the high score. It still needs a name.

The answer to how do we keep kids safe online isn't destroy everyone's privacy. It's not force people to hand over their IDs to access legal content. And it's certainly not ban access to the tools that protect journalists, activists, and abuse survivors. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Off by a day. Forgot to celebrate.

...More gameplay involving the "Love & Belonging" and "Physiological" needs (of the character).

I decided to let myself be distratced by a game jam for November ( #GitHubGameOff ). Making the 2d waves is fun, as is re-learning #pixijs, #matterjs, #peerjs. The goal is to make a #p2p #pvp game where you fire cannons at each other. Like Scorched Earth / Worms + Sea of Thieves.

Cleaning up #halloween... Does the skeleton spider go in the spider bin or the skeleton bin?

Thinking back on the billions Facebook spent on the metaverse... and wondering why they didn't try to build a Steam/itch clone as a first step? Seems like the obvious move for a for-profit company with a giant network.

This has many of the things I love: ☑️tiny moons, ☑️weird beautifully ugly aliens, ☑️robots, ☑️procedural generation, ☑️ecosystems.

I can relate to this! My #js13k game was rated poorly in part because the gameplay was slow and lengthy. I always set out to make something "fun" that will "win"... and then settle on an overly complicated game that I (and only I) find interesting.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Superdetermimism: Always Has Been

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne: hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o... Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

I've completed my #js13k game: js13kgames.com/drafts/craft... 🧙‍♀️⚒️ Give "Crafty Cauldron" a whirl and let me know what you think! #css #JavaScript #witch #gamedev

I guess you can patent basically any vague thing? I hope this dies promptly in court.

My wife really likes this show Outlander. Unfortunately it does not appear to take place in Vvardenfell.

Age verification via face scans is not safety — it's surveillance. Biometric age guessing is inaccurate, discriminatory, and creepy AF. Stop normalizing it. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

"many LLM users are simply just completely cracked out on dopamine. The euphoria resulting from their perceived now limitless abilities is clouding their judgement." malwaretech.com/2025/08/ever...

😳🐈‍⬛ This is a tough theme. Bad/good luck, witches, night stealth, Poe, ... ? I bet a lot of games just feature a black cat character.

Only 24 HOURS left before the theme reveal and the start of the #js13k 2025 competition! Are you ready? js13kgames.com #gamedev #gamedevjs #compo #competition #countdown #start #JavaScript #HTML5 #indiedev #indiegames

I'm four years late to this, but still found it funny. steamcommunity.com/app/1507780/...

Games are art Some art sucks

The view from the International Space Station as an aurora meets the sunrise in space.

Brianna is building an Ultima-like -- like me -- but hers is so much more advanced and polished. Finally it exists on Steam for wishlisting.

🔥🛞While reading Burning Wheel: "These are the most amazing rules ever!" After a moment of reflection: "How on Earth could I ever convince someone to play this?" 🙃

Exactly 13 DAYS left to start #js13k 2025! js13kgames.com We've added first batch of this year's Partners, Experts, and Prizes to the website and will be announcing them all in the coming days. #gamedev #gamejam #compo #competition #codegolf #challenge #JavaScript #HTML5 #indiedev #indiegames

My next game will be co-developed with Blinky and Clyde. 👻👻 😂

What are your favorite weapon & armor rules for a #CRPG? Looking for inspiration that is less complex than Dwarf Fortress, but more complex than "X weapon damage minus Y armor rating". #rpgdesign

I didn't work on #WULF too much this week, but I did build a town, complete with shop names, and added some new sprites for townsfolk and crops. #screenshotsaturday for a #webtech #Ultima #Ultimalike framework, a #CRPG #gamedev project

I'm working on implementing a shop and inventory/equip UI. It's a challenge to keep it simple, retro, and yet easy to use and understand. #screenshotsaturday for my #WULF ( #webtech #Ultima #Ultimalike framework ) #CRPG #gamedev project

having an already-popular youtube channel before releasing a video game is like being a nepo baby except my famous dad is also me

Wow, this is super shady and sad. Publisher pushes back Subnatica 2 just to avoid paying a bonus. ...but also I am shocked at the amount. $250M? How much did Subnatica earn? www.gamedeveloper.com/business/rep... #gamedev #subnautica

My #WULF #gamedev checklists: - 106 items on To Do list - 112 items on the Done list - 35 items on the Wish list You would think I'm halfway done, but in reality those "To Do" items will expand into greater detail, maybe even 10x.

Waiting for my generation to be in old folks' homes, binging X-files for nostalgia, mixing Mulder's theories with our dementia. It'll be fun discussions. #xfiles

Progress is slow but steady. Rudimentary combat ⚔️, a few monsters 👹 (maybe placeholders), and a preview of transportation options 🏇 (sorry, no landspeeders). #screenshotsaturday for my #WULF ( #webtech #Ultima #Ultimalike framework ) #CRPG #gamedev project

Looks like bitchat is not really ready for anyone to use. ...except maybe the DoD. techcrunch.com/2025/07/09/j...

1977: why would the bartender in star wars even care if some robots with artificial intelligence came into his bar 2025: ohhh ok

If you hold CTRL, it will pause Task Manager so the processes don't move around when you're sorted by resource usage

Yes. ⬇️ (Although I think Brian is real. I think I am real too.)

🧙🏼‍♂️Become a playable character in my game! This is not a clickbait! Rules are simple: 1. follow my profile 2. retweet and like this post The character below is a winner of the previous contest! You can pick the look, skills and the character's class! Good luck! #indiedev #indiegame #rpg #gamedev

My Ultima-1-like game now lists all commands that will (one day) be possible #screenshotsaturday It will be customizable in case someone else wants to use #WULF to mimic #Ultima 1's commands exactly.
