Day 5 of pretending to be a gamedev instead of an academic programmer: adding rag doll physics to the cats has not gone well. Surrounded by demon cats. Send help. #indiedev #indiegame

Got a week off of actual work so been adding some stuff to Cat Herders. Needed a low poly mouse that the player wont see much so learnt a bit of blender. Pretty happy with the little man (his name is Clive) #indiedev

Who on earth invented kneading? Like, what was the discussion there? "Hey Dave this bread thing you came up with is really great, but I think it would be a lot better if you punched it into this table for 12 minutes before cooking it"

everyone is talking about LLMs these days but what about the AI I wrote to make the cats blink in our game? I think it could pass the Turing test.
