🎄✨ #helios and I, back on #Twitch we're streaming, Grid fields we're building, pixels gleaming, Bugs getting fixed while the season's still bright 🎮 - Live coding magic under #christmas lights! ✨ #gamedev #streamer #indiedev #indiegames www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

New devlog: #ImGui integration, frame pacing, and some breaking changes in #helios 🎮 Debug overlays are in! FPS widget, #gamepad visualization, log console. Also refactored the rendering setup with RenderPrototype for better resource sharing. #tooling #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Never forget this: you are the core of your game You’re the reason this project even exists. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

Command-Pipeline architecture deep dive continues! Let's optimize those draw calls and make the GPU go brrrrr 🔥💻 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #RenderingEngine #helios #GameEngine #LiveCoding #TwitchDev #twitch #streamer 🔴 twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

there are two kinds of people in this world... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #programming

My IDE: "What if SPACESHIP isn't the answer?" Me: "It literally is" My IDE: "But what about SPACESHOP? SPACEHIP? SPACEHOP?" Me: *stares into the void* Sometimes the real #game dev is the autocomplete we encountered along the way. 🎮 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #helios #autocomplete

I'm diving back into work on helios/#111 - excited to make steady progress and bring support for tooling into the framework! #indiedev #indiegames #backseatcoding #streamer #twitch #gamedev #helios www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

#Manifesto for #AI -Augmented #Software #Craftsmanship - a 🧵 (1/5) With tools like #GitHub #Copilot, #Claude Code and #Gemini CLI, our work has changed massively. The models keep getting better - but with that, the question grows louder:

Streaming more #helios development on #Twitch! Building a #game #framework in C++23. Current boss fight: Camera system vs Scene Graph ownership 😅 Come hang out → twitch.tv/garagecraft_games #cpp #gamedev #livecoding #indiegames #indiedev #streamer #gameengine #streamer

Don't let your codebase become the logical equivalent of an asset flip ✋ Use #AI tools to handle the grind - but keep the ownership of your #architecture and #game loop. 🕹️ Principles for keeping the #craft in #gamedev: ai-manifesto.software-craftsmanship.dev #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #coding

Working on #milestone 2 of the #helios project. Issue helios/#97 mandates some major #refactoring to the #rendering pipeline - let's get it on! 🕹️ www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_... #twitch #streamer #gamedev #backseatcoding #indiedev #indiegames #ccp

After finishing a technical report on helios, I’m diving back into #helios development this weekend! Focus is on #Gamepad #Input! Planning to build a small graphical demo to show the progress - visuals avilable in my #twitch stream! 🎮 www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Working on #milestone 2 of the #helios project. Today, I'm implementing #gamepad input #management with a focus on efficient per-frame state capture and processing. 🕹️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=rciL... #gamedev #indidev #gameengine #backseatcoding #indiegames

Just make it exist first: From #SceneGraph to #Snapshot to #RenderPass to an animated cube - Rendering pipeline for #helios is taking shape! 🕹️ Ready for the next subsystem. Details in my latest #devlog: garagecraft.games/devlog/2025/... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #programming #coding #games

Coffee, #progressive #house (Adriatique's Cercle set from Alpe d'Huez is 😙👌), and a dialed-in IDE. That's the vibe for pushing code on weekends. What keeps YOU in the zone? 🕹️ #CodingLife #FlowState #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #cpp #streamer #twitch www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

Happy with how the #renderengine semantics and syntax for #helios turned out! Aiming to wrap this up this weekend, write some intro docs, then on to the next #subsystem! 🕹️ #gameengine #gamedev #indievev #indiegames #backseatcoding 🕹️ www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

Trick or treat - some enemies are wearing masks during Halloween season! Now I really have to get this Towebound update out before Halloween. #gamedev

Someone on #StackOverflow nailed the essence of #defensive #programming: "When writing industrial-strength code, you should always assume that your coworkers are psychopaths trying to get you any way they can (especially since it's often yourself in the future)"

Sure, #thelifeofashowgirl is wild, but have you ever built a #gameengine from scratch? 🕹️ Today: wrapping up refactoring + adding API docs ✌️ #backseatcoding #gamedev #indiedev www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this:" - Smaller than a tweet, mightier than a thousand Polygons ⚔️: How 32 #bytes are the building block of every #rendering #engine: My latest #devlog has (almost) all the details 👇 garagecraft.games/devlog/2025/... #gamedev #indiedev #helios #indiegame

It's #saturday, ya'll. Time for your weekly dose of #ducktales cartoons, or coding on your favorite #gameengine as an #indidev. Pick your poison! 🕹️ (Today's episode: The Golden Lagoon of Subsystemia) #gamedev #backseatcoding #twitch #programming www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

No reason not to order one of those gems.

Diving head first into the #gameloop! A Weekend full of coding kicked off by EventDispatchChains. Let's put that SceneNode-abstraction to good use. #gamedev #twitch #streaming #indiedev #gameengine #backseatcoding #helios www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

Saturday #programming bliss with the #Helios #gameengine 🎮 Nothing beats that weekend #devflow ✨ #GameDev #indiedev #twitch #streamer www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

#TGIF - time to crank up the #IDE and put the learnings to good use! Continuing work on #helios and striving for #RAII Guard and RenderDevice Abstraction. Say #hello if you find the time! #twitch #streaming #gamedev #indiedev #gamedev #backseatcoding #programming www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

I'm continuing my exploration of the #OpenGL rendering pipeline's mathematical foundation, examining #projection #matrices, one of the final computational steps before #rasterization. #indiedev #gamedev #math #linearalgebra #computergraphics #games #programming garagecraft.games/devlog/2025/...

Trading garbage collector for existential dread and stable frame times! In the spirit of yesterday's refactoring efforts, the 1st tick() has found its way into #helios: garagecraft.games/devlog/2025/... #gamedev #indiedev #programming #tickable #devlog

Continuing #helios development! Focus on implementing a first draft for the InputManager. Poll all the Events! #GameDev #indiedev #indiegames #backseatcoding #programming #twitch www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

Refactoring #helios: Clearer module responsibilities, better #abstractions, and neatly wrapped 3rd #party libs for flexible #architecture. Pointer/ref management still tricky, but it’s why #C++ leads in #gamedev ❤️ - more #control! #indiedev #indiegames 👉 garagecraft.games/devlog/2025/...

Continuing #helios development - join me on #twitch! Focus on housekeeping and perspective projection. There's something deeply satisfying about watching homogeneous coordinates collapse into screen space through matrix multiplication. #GameDev #indiedev #indiegames www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...

Plot twist: The generation that mastered Mega Man still has some wisdom to share. Our muscle memory from 90s platformers finally pays off. #jumpnrun #VintageWisdom #OldSchoolGaming #gamedev #gaming #retrogaming #indiedev #uuddlrlrba

There has been a recent debate about #Silksong's difficulty and how the hype has pushed users into buying the game w/o knowing what they're in for. Those sentiments being echoed by my network 👇 🧵 (1/3)

I sometimes think of #matrix composition as a form of #storytelling. Each matrix is a new chapter in the game and transforms the story's world. The order in which you tell the story changes the narrative for the transformed object (and in a way, the state of its universe :) ) #gamedev #indiedev

Layer #Abstraction initiated! No #feature #creep this time, I promise! Here's my short summary from a sunday spent with c++ and architectural planning - and why I think #domain #driven #design isn't just for #enterprise software. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames garagecraft.games/devlog/2025/...

After cleaning up the scene node and mesh representative, I prototype the first implementation in a GLFW app today! Join me on Twitch to see how it's coming along 🚀 #gamedev #coding #cpp #opengl #twitch #indiedev #programming www.twitch.tv/garagecraft_...
