After weeks of teasing, I'm very excited to officially show you all:
Gameplay of Calico Wilder!

I've been working with @waveparadigm.com, @littlenorwegians.bsky.social, and some friends to build the first of Calico's adventures, and I'm super thrilled with how it's coming along!

Rhythm Doggo on Steam You wanted to play a video game and just got transformed into a dog! Rhythm Doggo is a classic platform adventure where you play as a dog and make music on the way. Can you go back to your human form?

Announcing that Rhythm Doggo has a steam page now! It'd be super helpful if you wishlist it!

Chatbots โ€” LLMs โ€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When theyโ€™re โ€œrightโ€ itโ€™s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. Thatโ€™s all.

don't be fooled by their charming smiles.

these monsters are bloodthirsty bastards but you can have them anyway as a stock art pack.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off aroundโ€ฆ

GUESS WHO'S BACK

BACK AGAIN

DOC'S BACK

TELL A FRIEND

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

Trying out CrossCode, which has convinced me that games need to do away with silent protagonists and give me more monosyllabic goobers instead.
