I feel like I keep falling into the same cycle: I start a new hobby, try to turn it into a habit, but it quickly turns into a chore. Then I’m on the hunt for something new.

After a brief hiatus, I’ve dived into the captivating world of dawless music creation. My wallet may be lighter, but the joy of crafting ambient music and soundscapes with physical instruments makes it all worthwhile.

Finished another couple of rounds of playtesting with HiveMind Hijack.
Even if it is just placeholder art, it makes it so much more fun!

Another round of playtesting with my 2p game called HiveMind Hijack.
The players control two collectives fighting for control over the crew of a spaceship.
I've been keeping this prototype in my back pocket for weeks. It might be time for a new version.

My new answer to “How many people should you put in a small spaceship?” is 7.
My initial 13 was waaaay to many. Too many interactions, and even worse, they might save each other.

In the past few days, I've been writing the story of my game.
Now, I have a large graph in Miro with the story without player interaction.

I liked Blueprints in UE, but it was about 5% “coding” and 95% moving around stuff, so they align perfectly.

Do you know the feeling of getting sidetracked by something, only to be further distracted, resulting in a cycle of not completing anything?
Today, I finally managed to finish something! Not much, but the dopamine helps keep Larry 🧠 in line for a bit longer

After a year-long hiatus, Larry 🧠 got the brilliant idea to revisit the board game I've been tinkering with. A couple of playtests in, and surprise - the whole gameplay needed a revamp. So here I am, back to square one, crafting new cards (thanks, Larry 🧠).

Day 12 of #AdventOfCode in a nutshell:
Solve part 1, update code for part 2, realize that it won't finish before the Sun collapses, optimize code, realize that it became even slower, dumb down code to the most basic solution and add caching, runtime: 26ms

#adventofcode seemed like the perfect opportunity to check out Kotlin, and after completing the second day, I must say: it’s an awesome language!

I realized most of my messages could start with “my stupid brain came up with XY”, as I'm not the best at focusing on things long enough to finish them, so from now on, my stupid brain is called Larry

It is horrible how this has become the new norm.
You have a decent product; you make it more and more expensive while not listening to the users; they find a great alternative; you buy this product and slowly choke it to death, and finally, you kill the product as “it’s not profitable anymore”

After reading countless discussions I can see the source of hate from the art community towards AI. Even if it can generate images and text from the smallest idea, it removes the human touch and devalues the years of training and effort people put into their work.

Every time I see an article or conversation about how AI will replace software engineers as everyone will be able to build any app without any knowledge, I always remember one thing:

Idag är det 60 år sedan BBC sände premiäravsnittet av Doctor Who.
Därmed fyller även världens första electronicahit 60 år! Doctor Who-temat skapades av 26-åriga Delia Derbyshire på tongeneratorer och rullbandspelare eftersom synthar inte var uppfunna.

I love the super-focus my brain can produce:
- How is your game development?
- Well… I wanted to work on the atmosphere of it, and long story short, I just released some ambient music on spotify.
