Open Source fan remakes of Red Alert, Tiberian Sun and Dune.

I’ve played RA multiplayer and it’s a lot of fun.

I completed the original Dune single player mode with its micro management hell. OpenRA make it much more fun

It’s been fun playing Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition to see where it all started while having a few user friendly updates. The menu systems are still complicated to use. For example it’s easy stack items like healing potions, but then can I give one potion to a character rather than the stack?

Anyone tried BlenderGPT? There’s a few 3D generators on the market. The last time I tried them about six months ago it was still quicker for me to model it and get something higher quality.

#blender
is an advanced artificial intelligence program that creates 3D models from text or image prompts in ~20 seconds.

Upgraded my game’s code to Unity 6. One crash in four hours work, so not impressed by stability, but it seems to load faster and I like the UI and settings changes.

#Barcamp London was awesome! Lots of great talks and people. Here’s @zmolek.bsky.social discussing #fractals

Getting those pre #barcamp excited vibes. Can’t wait to see a bunch of random talks and make a ton of new friends

I love looking at the night sky and spotting satellites. It’s so much easier to see them than it used to be. There are literally thousands more in the sky!

Funny seeing me on social media
Hello new friends! Bluesky is great for those 😎

We're on a week-long admin break to handle some boring real-world stuff before jumping back into VR development.

First priority is revamping our gesture controls! Always thankful for the feedback🥰 That's Monday's adventure.

Happy weekend! #gamedev

The fun part about being a game dev is that playing games counts as research. Right??!

For my own curiosity I’m developing a game that uses: ChatGPT, MongoDB Atlas, Stripe, Auth0 and Azure. The backend is built in ASP.NET and the frontend is Blazor (coming from Unity C# using .NET has been great).

It’s been fun to work on a project that doesn’t use Unity. Very quick loading!

Looking for #XR people. I’m making a #VR game for Quest. I often experiment with all kinds of XR
