Good morning bsky! 🦋 I've been MIA, and not had much to report. But I miss you all. Hope you're doing awesome! My project jumping brain has me deep into ai and process automation stuff right now I rationalize it as I'm building a lot of skills Found a tool called #n8n & been geeking out since

The mobile game market is a wasteland of crap & 'OK' games that become crap due to the monetization Every time I have a mobile game idea, the thought of trying to market it makes me decide against it Especially with the bs the stores make you go through & the many OS updates over time

I've been distracted by a very busy work schedule & falling into a geeky rabbit hole of building my own AI agent. (Plus AI is big at work so staying current is expected) If this is the future, I prefer a corporation not being in the middle of it. I still 💙 you gamedev It's just a fling

⚔️ My older brother was into D&D When I was little he never let me play When I was older I never wanted to When I was grown It never worked out Couldn't sleep & had AI start to teach me the game. I now have a Half-Elf Warlock w/ powers via an archfey trickster I could do char creation all day long

FWIW... I watched KRAVEN on the airplane home (I otherwise wouldn't have.) I'm glad I watched it. It's not bad. Rhino was a better character though.

I use discord all the time to communicate with friends and small groups But it is a HORRIBLE tool for managing a large community Companies that try are taking a risk. Those that do AND outsource moderation are begging for trouble And then you take a company catering to youngsters, It's terrifying

Ok @thecroissantcrusaders.com what's the secret? I'm in the top 10 in the leaderboard for the apocalypse level but I can't clear it!? Also, how about a "play again" button when the level ends to jump back in right away Great work creating an addictive game! store.steampowered.com/app/3124320/...

The real problem w my game is I need to either completely rethink roads, or use a nasty collection of grid maps for various angles @theduckcow.com‘s road plugin looks great but isn't quite done yet & I'm probs not savvy enough to fill in the blanks Not sure what would be a bigger #gamedev headache

This image shows why vibe coding, and non-technical people trying to create platforms with no real help... Is a very bad idea. I've linked to the article as well although... The article does not seem to cover the fact that this practice is problematic. dev.to/srbhr/top-7-...

Heard a thing I wish I would have embraced earlier. Only start a project if you can prototype it in a weekend I love it in concept, but it assumes a certain level of skill BUT It could be a good way to ease back into #gamedev & #Godot What could a noob prototype in 2 days that’s cooler than pong?

I've been learning a lot about myself & my nuanced dysfunctions I used to think I dove into & then gave things up due to boredom, but I think I get burned out in the context Diving into other things has been VERY slowly restoring my desire to gameDev Guess I need a few things to bounce between 🤷‍♂️
