If you wanna make better looking procedural terrain, this thread is full of simple tricks you can use straight away. #threejs #gamedev

@aarongarciah Small deliberate variations are enough for each product to feel distinct. The difficult part is keeping the changes subtle enough while still making them count.

couldn’t agree more a vast number of "productivity" web apps could be built with the same (exceptional) styled component library—maybe with a few pre-defined options/styles to choose from (density, primary color, radius, etc.), but tbh, it wouldn't be necessary for most of them the problem is, that library doesn’t exist yet by embracing constraints, software makers could focus on what matters most hopefully, we’re not far away

3 spikes of a surf game, none of them hit the feeling I’m looking for. Throw it away. In the AI era that’s often the cleanest move. Clear the mental space, start something new with less baggage. If the idea still wants to live, it’ll come back later.

Posting your earnings is just code for “please notice me, my life is falling apart.”

Error is superior to art

@colton__tollett @motiondotdev Nice!

Pixel Reveal Hover a highlighted term to reveal its definition in a pixel-piece dissolve. Made with @motiondotdev

@tarwin Thank you! I have zero talent for illustration.

@tol_is Loving the visual constraints you set at the start. Really making all these pop.

Weapons upgrade every 10 kill shots. The shotgun is pure dopamine. tol.is/lychnos

@alexabraham @grok Took your advise x.com/tol__is/status…

@tol_is @grok thought this was going to be a bird hunting game

Lychnos. You carry a lamp, the moths follow. Logarithmic spirals into the flame. tol.is/lychnos Made with @grok

Lychnos changed to a moth hunt interaction. Just… don't shoot the light. tol.is/lychnos

@espressocat_eth @kerimsafa @loackme_ @whitewallsapp that's very clever, thank you!

@tol_is @kerimsafa @loackme_ sure! it's just an older model 32" LG TV w/ @whitewallsapp running on an amazon firestick...and I control it from the app on my phone. simple setup that works great!

@alexabraham @grok Fair. The lamp is too abstract.

@frank_chimero that's my brand

New design skill: being able to spot weak design work that’s punched up with charismatic animation.

Stoma. A pair of lips drawn as vermilion isolines. Speaks nonsense. tol.is/stoma Made with @grok

@pdotcv There’s a lot of competition for the lowest moment in the industry, but imho the crypto era was our rock bottom

@tol_is Fair. But it’s getting worse. Or maybe I’m just old.

Get our logo tattooed and we will consider hiring you. Software is attracting the absolute worst dicks imaginable these days.

@edankwan Doesn’t matter, I’m a professional, they’re dead to me.

@tol_is Which one?

Still thinking about the AI design tool startup that hired me off my portfolio and fired me on day 2 because — checks notes — i wasn't strong enough on backend. Imagine ordering a cake and then firing the baker for not being an electrician.
