My tiniest task manager. I like the idea of a task bucket, you drop in random stuff you need to do, and when you have time, you pull one out and do it. I just made a small local app for this. Adding tasks is easy at any moment with a hotkey. I really love minimalistic apps haha

I just opened the repo of my tiny horror game that runs in the terminal. You can play it with python.
Story: in the 80s, a deep cave was found but couldn't be explored. A robot was sent 3km down. You're the engineer controlling it from the surface.

Wanted to try something new. I like that it's that simple, mostly just sine waves, and only 29 lines of code. Shifting arpeggio notes 4 chords behind was accidental, but turned out surprisingly well and I kept it.

First time trying Strudel. Spent half a day reading docs and playing around. So fun!
Also I love the McCulloch interview, I think it aged so well, go watch it.

If I didn't need to earn money, I'd definitely spend years making hundreds of tiny games alone, hidden in some cave on a picturesque mountain.

Apparently, Midjourney is unaware of the "brain rot" term. Who would've thought it'd be the last aesthetic humanity kept organic. The frontier of human culture if you will.

We all know human memory isn't perfect.
But do we really understand the extent of its imperfection? We do, but it's fun to pretend we don't.
Imagine if your expectations were way off. What if your life isn't actually 95% like how you remember it, but more like 50, 30, 10%?

I gotta finish this mf to complete my set of Notion #gamedev tools!! This is basically everything I've learned in 7 years of managing game development. All my HP went into this XP.
A full workspace for teams to build a game in peace. Hoping to finish it soon and find some indies to test it for free

Is there a website collecting data about indie #gamedev s? Like, how many games have been made, how many players played them, how long did it take, how many times the release date was postponed etc?
Could be very enlightening and inspiring for others

I've been shooting film since 2018, but I've never tried to grow an audience for my photos. I think that was a mistake, this support could really help me in life.
So, I invite everyone who loves #filmphotography to my Instagram: instagram.com/denisbondare

Isn't a video game the ~perfect~ form of art?
It's versatile, inclusive, engaging, and expressive. It offers countless ways to absorb and convey the creator's ideas and vision.
And all you need to create one is a laptop.

I wonder what percentage of game devs make what they actually love? Game development became such a huge industry, poisoned by the mass market, business, even ideology sometimes, it must feel like finding an oasis in a desert if you got lucky to work on smth actually valuable and authentic

Interesting proposal, but impossible to implement. Still interesting to think about!

What If We Made Advertising Illegal?
What if we banned all advertising? Not regulate it—abolish it. This proposal would transform manipulation machines, and maybe save democracy itself. A thought experiment worth considering.

I made my first game with Unity in 2016 and spent the next 7 years coding and managing many game projects.
I've seen a LOT of.. let's say good and bad practices.
The major obstacle to success when making a game is chaos.
Trying to make our work less chaotic led me to Notion (thread)⬇️

The best thing I've done for myself this year is turning off my laptop and smartphone two hours before bed. It's refreshing to be able to think clearly and feel alive again.

This is the Pixel World, a small 64x96 2D simulation populated with AI creatures making their own decisions to survive.
They explore, gather resources, build, talk with each other.
There's no scripted behavior model. Just a prompt with a list of actions, short memory, current state, world info.

Over the past 4 years, I've read 209 books.
I enjoyed a lot of them, but only a few really stood out to me.
I just want to start sharing my top picks in this thread 👇

Game devs, what was the first game that made you think, “This is what I want to create someday”?
For me, it was definitely Flashback on the old Sega Mega Drive.
It was such a masterpiece—unlike anything else I'd played before. I still remember all the SFX from it vividly.
