Yeah.. there are tools for hot reloading logic but in practice everyone's games are not architected to support the naive way that it's usually implemented by the general purpose engines 😭

This has been the reason I’ve been so burnt out on making games in recent years. The mantra I go by now when it comes to work is Process over Output. You will not cross the finish line unscathed if this goes unaddressed

Love when you put your laptop to sleep and THEN the fans turn on. We've really done a great job with computers.

Looking forward to the Oil Baron DLC

You’re officially an influencer now. Legally required to post

So I haven’t talked much about work stuff in a while but 2026 is kicking off with some big changes: I’m hanging up my freelancing towel and joining the team at Evening Star! 💫

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:

Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.

Make. Friends.

more games where the trailer _is_ the game

glad to hear the kids are sick of renting everything in their lives

buy a PSP. buy a Game Boy. A Walkman. collect the UMDs, tapes, carts, or hack the shit out of it and download roms. add a backlight. no one owns it but you. it can play movies, it can play MP3s.

shit used to be functional

I think I know who you're talking about lmao

Officially started on this 😤 aiming to have the basic setup to share in the next week or two!

Been having a lot of fun making simple custom FMOD DSP effects. I think it's all finally starting to click- considering making a little open source fmod plugin page as I learn more

A movie poster for the film Challengers starring Zendaya. Two muppet-like creatures, Snorpy and Chandlo from the video game Bugsnax, have been edited into the reflection of her stylish sunglasses.

Now watching:

Long time no see! I’ll be open for contract work again mid-december, so if you’ve got dramatic environments that need painting or pitch decks that need art or really any old (visual) thing I could be YOUR gal 🫵 ameliaherman.artstation.com

Now for the bittersweet part of any launch day as a freelance worker, with the game out, I'm out looking for work again. So, need a UI/gameplay programmer, a top-notch senior/lead QA Analyst, a technical or educational game designer?

I'm open to freelance and full-time positions, hit me up! Please!

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Making Video Games in 2025 (without an engine) Thoughts, tools, and libraries I use to make games

I've been making video games in some form for 20 years, so I wrote an article about my process - and why I don't use an engine.

Keeping an eye on this cause i’d also love to see a build tool that isn’t so overburdened. Something like Zig’s built in build scripting would be amazing

Need to get the engine blog setup for real this summer. Learning a lot and need to brain dump somewhere, especially in this case getting harfbuzz and freetype embedded in the project from source, etc.

Been working on font rendering in my game engine and finally got simple Arabic shaping/positioning set up! Hoping to maintain parity of text effects for all supported languages as well.

Text system has a long way to go but wanted to get this working from the start

I haven’t taken the dive but have been getting linux-curious. Is there a core set of tools (IDE if any, etc.) or specific version of linux you’d recommend for game dev?

Sad I didn’t make it to at least r2 on day 2, but happy with how the weekend went overall. Lim is super fun, and more stoked than ever on the game itself 🎉
