THIS IS WHAT AN INDIE GAME LOOKS LIKE #GameDev #IndieGame #racing #vr

Lots to talk about today, including my recent unfortunate AI psychosis episode, OpenAI's leaked financials, and Stratechery's piece on the recent vibe shift towards Anthropic sympathizers.

Fun fact: these "games" has zero users. Zero. 0.

If it weren't for pioneers like Chris, I would never have imagined working in the video game world. Give him a follow. He's a true legend: Turrican II soundtrack was my main song every day I was waking up.

For 3D students: Most I’ve met simply aren’t doing the hours needed to get into the industry. Studying only 10:00-16:00 every day won’t cut it - particularly since only a portion of the day is spent on actual work.

😍😍😍

LMAO. No it didn't. 😂😂😂

"Investe due carabinieri, arrestato TUNISINO poi liberato dal giudice" Le solita magistratura rossa vomitevole cancro di questo Paese.

yesterday i signed up again for claude max $200 plan and had it change the whole visual metaphor of the productivity app i’ve been working on intermittently over the past year: instead of a traditional UI with tables, lists, tools, etc, i told Fable to use a desktop OS metaphor instead for displaying the various built-in mini apps (tasks, chat, notes, etc). all with a functioning dock and animated wallpaper and multiple window support etc. fable was able to solve the problem but really i’m beyond the point of being impressed by an LLM doing some upfront task. everything worked, it “made no mistakes”, all tests passed (it even fixed old tests), but i was like ok whatever thanks. i blew past my $200 limit in 2 hours. and now i’m sitting here like, ok, now what? do i ship this? hear me be a whiny bitch for a second: that it was too easy killed the whole part of the journey of making an app where you become a new person through the creation process, and you earn such pride in your work which in the past gave you the energy and courage to ship things. and i’m like, i can ship this. i can try to make a buck. the app is done. but i just don’t feel a bond with the work. now if you were a somewhat savvy operator, the business type that would happily sell refrigerator coolant if you sensed an opportunity, AI will be a godsend for you. but i don’t wanna sell refrigerator coolant. and now because everything is so easy, i hardly ever feel like i’m solving a real problem anymore. it’s like how deep of a problem am i really solving if someone can one shot my app in 2 hours? i will say that in those 2 hours yesterday, i really enjoyed being back near the code. there’s nothing funner than making shit. it’s just that the new way of doing things kills a lot of the creative and spiritual juices you used to get before, that many times lead to commercially beneficial outcomes. now, i just don’t know what’s worth building anymore.

Again. Nothing usable. Build nonsense for zero users.

😂😂😂

"Built in 15 minutes". Yeah we can see that bud.

Mkay. Now what.

2 hours and 1.4m tokens. That will cost a lot when the model will go full "biz" mode. What about the model? Not so complicated. You can make it in less than 1 hour in Plasticity. So, still don't see the advantage.

Another clone machine. Amazing. 😂

"Make me something that already exists and is almost certainly a copy of existing source code..."

So nothing new. Just copy/pasting what's already been done. Huge advancement!

WOW. And yet nothing is usable. 😂

Awesome work José Molfino! 🤩 @Jose_Molfino is the Co-Founder of Stato and the Lead 3D Artist. As a skilled generalist, he adds the approach with advanced techniques to keep his company’s work outstanding. He used #Houdini's MPM solver to create this lava flow.

I'm addicted to Plasticity but this is also very interesting! #b3d
