Loosely Coupled Game Architecture with Event Aggregator This article introduces the Event Aggregator pattern as a way to decouple game components. A (very) basic space shooter example illustrates how the pattern can be applied in practice.

Behold, a new blog post! shendriks.dev/posts/2025-0... #GameDev #EventAggregator #SoftwareArchitecture

A black and white cat sitting in a garden on a sunny day, surrounded by green grass and leafs, blinking at the camera.

Unfortunately I only have all the other tunes as mp3. I'll probably have to transfer them from my own to an up-to-date tracker format and re-record them when the time comes.

Machine Code, by STA$D400 track by STA$D400

Just found another STA$D400 tune lurking on my hard drive ready to be uploaded to Bandcamp: "Machine Code"

Life of IT professionals 😅

The image is a confirmation dialog for the permanent deletion of a Facebook account. It explains that once the deletion is scheduled, the user has 30 days to cancel the process by logging into their account. After 30 days, the deletion becomes irreversible, and all content and information will be lost. The dialog provides two options: "Cancel" and "Delete account." The mouse cursor is hovering over the "Delete account" button, indicating that the user is about to proceed with the deletion.

Tschüss!

Reposting here an older blog post of mine about a summary of Michael Nygard's talk "Architecture Without an End State" back in 2011. It's now a classic.

TLDR; The best you can do are locally contextual actions! And accept that you'll get not to an end state!

First Game (Pong) on Itch: https://rheyan.itch.io/mg-pongMonoGame: https://monogame.net/Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyl8md3Lj3mrYgp6OR... MonoGame Pong - Devlog #1

First #devlog for my #MonoGame implementation of the classic Pong. I show the way the code is structured, talk about a silly bug I had, showcase some other cool pong games I found on Itch and discuss what's coming next.

Am 12.April spielen wir nochmal in Solingen, und endlich mal mit Lyschko 🥰
Ach ja, und Fehlfarben!

Playing around with a stencil shadow in #MonoGame #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev

A black and white cat is lying in the thick green grass. Its face is looking between the blades of grass, directly at the camera.

The image shows a loaf of homemade bread with a rustic appearance, placed on a wooden cutting board. The bread has a thick, cracked crust with a slightly flour-dusted surface.

Slowly coming along with this #sourdough thing.

A black and white cat is lounging on a textured blanket, with one white paw stretched out in front. The cat appears relaxed, with its eyes closed.

A black cat is sitting on a wooden beam with only its sides and curled tail visible. The photo was taken with the camera pointing up at the ceiling.

Dachbodenfund?

This image shows Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation, wearing his VISOR and a Starfleet uniform. However, there seems to be a costume error—his rank insignia displays one full pip and two hollow pips, instead of the correct lieutenant commander insignia (two full pips and one hollow pip).

The image shows a black and white fluffy cat resting on a green mat inside a wooden shelf.

Got a copy of this #book the other day. Almost 3kg of game engine architecture knowledge.

Corpse Flower livestream: A plant to die for YouTube video by Botanic Gardens of Sydney

Currently flicking between the live images and a few hours ago on Putricia the Corpse Flower.

She's definitely opened up a little! What a thrill www.youtube.com/live/mrylcCA...

This image depicts a foggy, winter landscape with bare trees and frost-covered vegetation. The atmosphere feels cold and serene, with muted tones and the faint sun barely visible through the mist.

My indie game "Arid Arnold" is now OPEN SOURCE!

github.com/AugsEU/arid-...

I also wrote a mini-book explaining the whole codebase: drive.google.com/file/d/1-DV7...

If you want to learn how to make your own #indiegame , this goes through the entire process.
