This is usually my go-to argument against AI. They made the machine that's incredibly good at math, bad at it. Also that explanation just makes my head hurt...
A google search result for the query 'was 2010 15 years ago' with the AI overview summary reading: No, 2010 was not 15 years ago; it was 15 years ago in 2025, which makes it 14 years ago from the current year, 2024. The year 2010 was 15 years ago from the year 2025. Here's the calculation for the current year: Current Year: 2025, Target Year: 2010, and Years Ago: 2025 - 2010 = 15 years. So, the statement "2010 was 15 years ago" is correct in reference to the year 2025

Imagine using AI generated images for placeholders instead of looking at 'Default Fish' and 'Firework Dev - No Art :('
Do those people hate whimsy and fun?

#gamedev #indiedev
An inventory grid showing two items next to each other. The first one titled 'Default Fish' with very bad programmer art as an icon and the 9 in the item's lower right corner. The second is called "Firework Dev" with an icon that's just says 'NO ART :('

Always reminds me of this classic from tumblr
Three tumblr posts by the user 'dragonbleps' who has a lizard head frontal as an avatar. First post says 'survived checking my bank account. i deserve a little treat', second post 'this had better not alter the Numbers in my bank account' and the last part 'by Talos this can't be happening'

Surely, I'm not alone with colour matching named reroutes in the node graph.

I don't know what I expected

#gamedev #unrealengine
3 lines of text on the top of the image. The first one says "> use FText::IsEmpty()" Second one says "> look inside" and the third one "return ToString().IsEmpty()". Below the text is a up close perspective of a tabby cat's face that's slightly distorted by a fish-eye lens effect implying the cat is the one looking inside.

A meme edit of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but all the zones are blended together by purple paint with text added on top that reads "cock flavored soup mix". At the top of the image there's a tumblr user's handle "souryoghurt64".

The soul is willing but the flesh is brusied. I love hilarious bugs like this. I guess the AI was tired of my testing and wanted to run away.

How much organization is too much? Sometimes I feel like I overdo it, but then it also pleases my brain to see everything neatly structured.

I love books! What I don't like is placing them one by one. So, I made a procedural tool to speed up my workflow while still giving me control over the end result.
I decided to release it for free, because I couldn't find something similar.

Fun fact about me is that I love ARGs and I want to put some aspects of them into my game, like password protecting a terminal that contains extra lore and players have to figure out what it is. 1st pic is reference.
Unsure about the difficulty, so let me know if you solved it!

It might not look like much, but I tackled the other task I've been dreading, Inventory Nesting. Well, specifically loading and saving items recursively. Changing that part of the logic was a pain in the butt and took up my whole day. But it works!

[1/4] This is something I've been dreading to rework. The weapon moding system was one of the first things I've made for the game and as a result it was pretty rough around the edges, but it worked. Most of the time
So here's a before and after comparison.

I love making smaller tools that help me make the game world more believeable and lived in, like these signs.

I'd love to see how other devs do stuff like this, show me your time savers!

Sometimes you gotta spend a few (a lot) of hours so you can save more in the future. My game is pretty loot heavy and nice icons are a must imo. Having an in-engine way to make them is a lifesaver compared to the previous method. Made with BP & C++
