Honestly, I've never quite seen an ORM and migration management as good as Django. My first company job used it and it was magical for a junior dev to learn about databases
Had the most fun game dev session last night, got a lot done. Mainly moving logic from client side to server to enable this beauty of multiplayer. Ever so slightly one step closer to the vision I want
But also why the hell would you even consider a lisp based syntax in 2026 for a plugin system? Why do you like this in today's world, are you asking only hardcore tribes to enter the ecosystem? 🤣
In other news, a new version of cosmic has been released going to version 1.1.0! Great they're continuing to mature it and havent abandoned the idea surrounding it. Its definitely an ambitious project considering its a different tech stack compared to other desktop environments
Just played an hour of hytale, very cool to see flatpak support and support in general for linux users off the bat. Played with my wife via LAN, seamless connection too. Awesome to see more games like this
Seems like I re-entered heavy into Java at the right time. Less verbose, cleaner APIs, faster start ups. Faster runtime. Modern GC configs. Its not perfect but damn its come a long way
AI is literally just a glorified and albeit worse off code generator because it doesnt have complete context of your codebase, pattern, architecture, intent and best practices.
Yeah sure, I can give it a natural language instructions and guardrails but its still never going to be perfect.
And CEOs want to go on a firing spree because of this untested tech
Environment aesthetics in a game matter so much for me, alongside music. It has to be immersive and hook you right in enough for it to be a core memory for gamers.
Nice start to the day with an iced coffee
Fediverse feels like a nice reset from bot infested, pay to spam ads and glorify rage bait, engagement bait content
There is no underlying interesting with Mastodon. Only to encourage being able to decentralised and keep your data, yours.
Who actually thinks all AI providers, even on enterprise arent training on your data?
Are we actually naive to think they're scared of the law?
RE: @kaplay@mastodon.gamedev.place
Cant believe this level of art and game was made by one person for a game jam no less. Built in KAPLAY!
First week nearly wrapped at work for me and im pleasantly surprised to see an usagi game jam!
Usagi is a home grown 2D game engine based in Lua
🎮️ Game Jam: https://itch.io/jam/usagi-jam-2026
Quickstart template: https://codeberg.org/brettchalupa/usagi_template
📚️ Usagi Book: https://book.usagiengine.com/
- Hotkey bar added
- Player start can now choose name
- Added bow/staff/unarmed anims (cant see this yet but its definitely there haha)
Finally have a reliable screen recorder and now I can showcase bits of functionality I created by focusing on SYSTEMS rather than full blown spec'd games
Super fun and satisfying to get working

@maxleibman@beige.party and also sell a dream to your CEOs with the delusion that they can do all sides of development well

@kaplay@mastodon.gamedev.place Very awesome tool, I'll be using this tool to see how I can reduce and possibily remove redundant game objects
When you're passion ridden and able to grow your community with like-minded individuals, it becomes a collective.
Thats what I feel like with @kaplay@mastodon.gamedev.place.
Response for any help is so appreciated. I have my bias as I support this project monthly now as its been a pleasant experience
Open source and passion for the win ❤️

@atoponce AI infra companies cannot seriously get away with pulling shit like this surely
@stux Are there any tools in place to even see whats AI and what isnt?
Replying to
@PlusPixels@mastodon.social This is awesome! Will be sure to keep you in mind for my project!

@smattymatty@socialontario.ca @Jakester@socialontario.ca this is awesome, great work both of you! Insane to see this done with C
The older I get, the more I realise that principles and morals matter. Being human is mattering a lot more in this fast paced world

@grumpygamer@mastodon.gamedev.place mastodon has a humble game Dev following which is what I want to get into myself. It's great if there is a community out there for you. A lot of the bigger platforms have been extremely politicised which is great if you care about that sort of thing. But that's exactly why I like the fediverse more than any platform right now, I have control of what content I choose to consume and I don't get fed what the platform thinks I'll like
In the age of AI and chat interfaces, is UI still even a thing?
Replying to
@smattymatty@socialontario.ca Interesting regarding data driven design, reminds of the same philosophy that bevy engine went with too
Using AI truly takes the fun out of development. Yes. I HAVE to use it at work. Unfortunately.
Tokens go zoooooom zooooom.
At work I have to prove value and get shit done fast unfortunately so I lean into AI heavily
I wish I wasnt so tired after work so I could scratch the writing code itch.
Just tried out qwen3.5:9b and its pretty damn good for local llm use. Its pretty good for my personal needs which is awesome
I dont want to fund big tech, so I'll run viable models that I can locally and so far its perfect for my use case (handle boring tasks)
Replying to
@cutesobri Depends on particular thing that interests you haha. A really easy one is just a simple 2D top down zelda like game
Are we finally getting helix IDE plugins? That's kinda wild how long its taking to decide on this. Back in the day you just do it and see where it goes 🤣
Couple of days into work life. I don't know if it's because of everything I'm doing different but I feel non tired for once. I'm taking vitamin d and fish oil and also sleeping earlier since I'm 4 days in office. Interesting times, feels like pre COVID era of work! Haha
Replying to
@mcc@mastodon.social oh great idea actually, it means we can do a double take on a project's reliability
I hope qwen and deepseek get more optimized to specific use cases that it blows claude and other models out the water. The only solution left for this AI stupidity to get any better is competition for efficiency and affordability
Actually managed to hook colyseus with my game to do mining, very cool!
kaplayjs + colyseus is the stack im going with
Successfully migrated to colyseus 0.17! Although have a very minimal backend, think it was best to do this now rather than later haha
