This part fires me up to create art for arts sake:
Kodama: That’s also partly why this development was a lot of fun, I think: we (the developers) started the project on our own initiative, and many people on the team had worked on PSII and were able to address the shortcomings and unfinished ideas they had from that game in PSIV.
Crashes too frequently for me. Needs a reboot to fix only to be crashed again few hours later. I never found a solution; likely related to docker/podman being memory hungry.
Port handling requires constant Powershell maintenance too.
Must wifi speed issues are actually obstacle issues. One concrete wall and wifi5/6/8 all dead. Only 4 survives. 2.4ghz is here to say
sign... another ai written article. are we already living in the dead internet? hackernews is filled with ai written blog posts.
i saw that no one actually make this information publicly available, so i did it myself. hopefully it helps someone.
8gb ram is criminal. For $100 more Air is the one to buy.
This is very impressive. Google really is ahead
AWS has been the backbone of the internet. It is single point of failure most websites.
Other hosting services like Vercel, package managers like npm, even the docker registeries are down because of it.
Note taking is supposed to be a map of my brain. Not generated garbage from LLMs. I only want the most memorable things to be in there.
I hope this isn't "Shut-up" money to end ARC gpu development. i have an A770, i am very happy with it.
AI makes you feel 20% more productive but in reality makes you 19% slower. How many more billions are we going to waste on this?
True in the long run. Like a car with a high acceleration but low top speed.
AI makes you start fast, but regret later because you don't have the top speed.
I left a comment like that, because the project itself is about the productivity of AI. Project aims to increase it. Mine is also about productivity of AI. But my distaste about its blandness.
On the whole meta discussion thing, i have been reading HN for at least 15 years. Posts with lots of comments are meta discussions. HN is not really a place to discuss technics of a project.
I fear for the variety in the internet coding culture. Significant portion of code is being written by ai, all looks the same, all has the same mediocre quality. Even the github page descriptions are generated with ai, overflowing with emojis and same sentence structures repeated.
I also agree with this.
While the ai has less context, you have more context using the limited chat window. You know what you need from the ai.
it is a subtle bug. mostly concerning preservationists. players are likely more worried about bandits shooting at them than mountains not reflected on the water.
That's because of pixel perfect rendering is not handling rotations and position changes great. It looks fine in motion, but i can improve with using semi transparent pixels on the edges.
I didn't draw a single piece of PNG until i am 38. Now i am about to release my second solo developed game. My art is nothing great, but a year a ago wouldn't even believe i could draw a single sprite.

I find my age to be great period to learn new skills. It is never too late.
I can't even find one job. What's his secret?
Claude 3.5 was released 1 year ago. Current LLMs are not much better at coding than it. Sure they are more shiny and well polished, but not much better at all. I think it is time to curb our enthusiasm.
I almost always rewrite AI written functions in my code a few weeks later. Doesn't matter they have more context or better context, they still fail to write code easily understandable by humans.
What Carmack is doing is right. More people need to get away from training their models just with words. AI need the physicality.
An online coop game inspired by Ice Climber (NES) and Spelunky. Randomly generated chaotic coop fun is my goal.
i wish people would stop mentioning W4 Games as a porting option. their lowest revenue tier costs $2000 a year. most indie games sell a few hundred copies.
here i have updated it to latest. https://arcadenest-games.itch.io/rogue-bricks
Great work! My game has some features inspired by Ballionaire. I also used Godot, i need to dissect your pck file to see how you organized things. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3499470/Rogue_Bricks_Demo...
Although i should caution poeple, most indie games fail. They fail hard. #1 tip: your game must be good looking to sell copies.
Thank you. It is kinda like Tetris, blocks falling constantly. you have limited time to get strong and destroy blocks.
i struggled greatly on balancing. My solution was to make director behind the scenes to make sure player never gets bored. Downside is; game is quite hard for non breakout players. Aiming is crucial.
i did release the demo on itch.io But it lacks some features. i will update it tomorrow.
That is crazy coincidence. i just released demo my rogue like breakout clone on Steam next fest. i picked a more of a bullet hell/shoot em up kind of approach. Faster the better.
I had great fun playing yours. Sound design is especially good.

Saw amway and immediately got what it's about.
%5 goes to idea maker, i get it. What happens to other %95 ? Is it evenly distributed, or assemblymade takes a percentage?
I am interested in contributing to projects if it's evenly distrubuted among developers or assemblymade gets a cut no more than %5. Please be clear about it.
Volatility doesn't bother as long as i can convert it to USD as fast and painless as i do with USD/EUR or Gold/USD.
But, i can't. So it's kinda worthless.
C++ is not bad. Code backend in c++ and use a scripting library for your game logic.
