Microsoft Copilot’s suggestion for “Show my achievements” prompt

It literally responds with a table of achievements and adds some usual ChatGPT blabber.

Apparently a simple “GET /achievements” request now goes through OpenAI data centers to add some usual blabbering to the response. Well done, Microsoft👏🏻 That’s what gaming needs

I didn’t even type this prompt in, it’s a suggested one.

Holy shit

Experimenting with 3D modeling. Came up a steamthrower. It superheats icy liquid and launches a jet of steam at enemies. Has that dwarf-steampunk vibe, but with modern elements.

These animations tickle something in my brain in a good way

#gamedev #wgpu #jailang

Testing a "Nomad Sculpt -> Blender + Substance Painter -> My engine" pipeline to optimise my time as a solo dev. So much fun to see how everything comes together.

Learning sculpting to produce assets for my game. Nomad sculpt is such a great tool even on 2016 iPad

#3D #sculpt #gamedev

Continuing building my game. Jai language enables me to do things so much faster and cleaner than other languages I tried. Even though the engine is built from the ground up, most features are so easy to implement

#jailang #wgpu #gamedev

Starting to look like haste gameplay, good job! Nice to see such game mechanics done with bevy, it needs more cool 3D examples

This frame of mind is very important in most software domains. I totally agree.
However, there is mission-critical software that either lacks mechanisms for immediate delivery or can cause significant harm before the next release.

A 6x difference in app size, with arguably the same features. Love to see such things

And rebuilding without the team is near impossible even if you own the tech.

Overloading engineers to deliver faster is so stupid long-term. Sure, we need to satisfy customers—so let’s burn out our team until nobody’s left to build the quality product they expect.

Seen too much of this.

Loving this version so much more

Oxide’s Compensation Model: How is it Going? / Oxide Reflecting on how our compensation model is going

Our compensation model at @oxide.computer was a very hot topic when we first posted about it over four years ago. But now years later (and a tripling in size!), how is it going? An overdue update: oxide.computer/blog/oxides-...

I have this itchy feeling in my brain that all the #localfirst and #decentralized tech fits very well for a team tooling: VCS, issue tracking, knowledge bases, chat and videoconf, etc.

Infra is private, lives as long as the team exists, is naturally isolated inside a company network. Seems legit.

It’s an offline game that does not communicate with any servers, so there is no surface of attack

Easily. A github actions pipeline that triggers once a month, builds and uploads, and then notifies me would do it (I think).

But it is such a redundant problem to solve. Like a punishment for *finishing* a simple game or app

I released a game on the #appstore a few years ago—it was so polished that I didn’t expect to patch anything after extensive testing.
Well, it got delisted because the last update was *too long ago* 🙃

#gamedev

Oh, my 19 pages now feel like a Post-it note😅

Good luck!

BTW did the same thing in Odin and Jai, but probably will stick with Rust for now. Harder to blow your foot off, you know

Making solid progress on my custom engine #rust #wgpu #gamedev

Thanks to Rust and extensive GPU profiling, feeling confident about not having crashes mid-session—the worst thing in gaming, if you ask me.

Element is a good one, as well as the tech behind it

Doing some rendering with #rust and #wgpu. So far I’m really happy with how much I’m learning while building a game without an engine.

#gamedev is truly a great source of knowledge to grok as a software engineer and designer.

Kudos to Marek Cahyna for the free access to the model

I believe Matt Rhodes is a huge inspiration for a whole bunch of artists around the world
