I added biomes and texture blending to my terrain generation. There's full support for PBR, and the biomes have indivdually configurable noise and textures. The physics on the CPU is also synchronized with the terrain visuals in a the vertex shader on the GPU. 🎮 #game #gamedev #indiedev

1000 more employees laid off... I don't think Epic has learned a damn thing since the last time. Always trend chasing and never nurturing the products and teams that are doing well. www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/n...

I'm experimenting with ANSI art in Moebius, made a scribble and thought it looked a bit like an orange, so I continued to make that so. Manually dithering is surprisingly easy and fun. #art #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indegame #gamedev 🎮

This is just exploiting ignorance of space and data centers for more investment dollars that will never be repaid. It makes no sense to put hot computers in a place that has neither water nor atmosphere to dissipate that heat into. www.techrepublic.com/article/news...

In an era of tech companies cozying up to an administration that has shown hostility to the trans community there's real harm in de-anonymization on Discord. Data will be misused to expose dissenting voices or the "age appropriate" excuse will be used to gate discussions about seeking equal rights.

Also, LLMs can't reliably follow instructions. The guardrail of not making weapons fully autonomous is the bare minimum. Are they trying to speedrun the plot of Horizon Zero Dawn? www.businessinsider.com/meta-ai-alig...

Meta AI alignment director shares her OpenClaw email-deletion nightmare: 'I had to RUN to my Mac mini'

Meta alignment director Summer Yue hooked OpenClaw up to her inbox. Then, the bot tried to delete her emails. Yue chalked it up to a "rookie mistake."

For Computronium it's having such a vibrant modding ecosystem that a total overhaul mod appears and makes all my hard-fought design decisions irrelevant 😅

Eternal Skies TCG RPG@eternalskies.neocities.org · 5mo ago

Indie game devs, what is the best case scenario for your game? For me it's making a game with more depth and complexity than this genre has seen in a long time, thus reigniting interest in single player tcgs as a whole and bringing many more of them into existence. That's the goal, at least.

It's been so difficult to be a computer hobbyist for ages. Between crypto, scalpers, supply chain shocks, and now AI - It's been impossible to get enthusiast hardware. It's half the reason I'm making Computronium, at least in a video game we might be able to enjoy ourselves.

This is a good take, and I'm happy for some of the clarity this message brings. However, I think this leaves out that we risk becoming a content junkie society wholly dependent on a few that control the automation. There will be little recourse when things go awry because labor power won't exist.

It's extremely frustrating to watch the open source community, one of the best examples of cooperative humanity, become a victim of the LLM grift.

"Record number US citizens immigrate into the Netherlands" - anecdotally, that's my experience too - I've helped almost three times as many devs fleeing the US this year as the past two years combined. www.bnr.nl/nieuws/nieuw...
