The new enemy-AI is already smarter than the old one.
But there is still work to do.

Not sure if I've shared this game before but..
it's called PaperKlay and it's on sale over on the digital storefront Steam.

If you like running around and jumping then give this a chance!

I had the weirdest dream:
I was old, trapped in a human-AI with feelings intact. The people around me tried to find out what I wanted based on my reactions.
I woke up with tears in my eyes.

Just came back from 1 hour walk with a friend, feels really good afterwards :)

I should really get out more. Have been too much inside, which is affecting my mental health.

I have been thinking of doing an expriment...

I'm very bad at posting stuff, mostly because of being a bigtime introvert and thinking that I don't have anything smart/clever to say.

So to challenge myself I'll try to write something everyday. Nothing fancy, just what's on my mind. Small things.

I tried my hand at making a video codec. I didn't know the first thing about video codecs when I started, so was quite fun to learn about the concepts and how to implement them.

I packaged the result in a stb-style, single-file header-only lib, < 2500 loc with no dependencies.

Here's an update on my small-voxel renderer, inspired by the look of games like Doom and Quake. The work I shared last year focused on handling simpler environment geometry. Since then, I've greatly expanded the scope of what I can depict in this art style. More info in thread.

I've been making indie games since 1997. Here is my condensed bluesky-sized advice: SELF PUBLISH YOUR GAME. Yes, its hard, yes you need to downsize your ambition, Yes you need to learn a ton of stuff, yes its stressful, but IF your game does well, then the financial implications are worth the effort
