5 months using code agents: - The early frustration is gone. - I now intuitively where Claude will do well, and what to do myself. - Some days I don't use it at all. Others, I run 3 concurrent sessions. - Full automation is the now the frontier. Still discovering the ceiling.

Extreme Forklifting 3 is OUT NOW!

@Knastrarn Ah. This brings me back to the discussion around my irrational dislike for traditional keys in Yoku. :)

Old friend at Breda University of Applied Sciences. I had the honor of doing an impromptu guest lecture for some of their game dev students.

Friends in Amsterdam. Workation here this week!

Old friends at Hazelight office!

Result of 3 months using code agents: - Went over the "hump" a few weeks ago - Starting to see accelerating returns - This thanks to session setup docs containing the "right" info - And developing good intuition of what's easy/hard for agents Probably at 2-3x efficiency now.

testing mirrors in project genie, they definitely don't work correctly, but the results are funny

AirDraw on Apple Vision Pro is incredible when you toggle on physics. Being able to interact with your 3D drawings makes them feel like they are actually in your room.

Result of 2 months using code agents: - Marginally more code produced - More advanced solutions feel within scope - Overall progress 50% slower, because I choose to go for those solutions. Will likely pay off? - I miss coding “in the zone” But I think I'm getting better...

Hollow Knight: Silksong, 60h Fatigue prevented 100%-ing, but still happy to have experienced this incredible game. It proved me wrong on boss fights – In Silksong I love them. Like in the best action animes, you enter a state of dance-like flow. Magnificent use of mastery.

@Kappische Oh, that’s a good one.

@Llerd AI mirror: Mirror mirror on the wall, tell me who is the fairest of them all? The applies beautify filter on your face :p

CES starts next week. Are you hyped for mandatory always online fridge, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine??

Netflix has agreed a deal to acquire the film and streaming business of Warner Bros Discovery, which also includes game developers behind Mortal Kombat and Hogwarts Legacy. videogameschronicle.com/news/netflix-h…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, 13h Wanted this one posted ahead of TGA. Really wonderful game – looks/sounds amazing and a fantastic take on the classic turn-based JRPG combat (normally not a fan). Very very good. My only complaint was some awkward dialog.

Keeper, 2h I’ve never played as a Lighthouse (!) before. Wandering through spectacular visuals with some light puzzles have never been this weird. Huge congrats to on the release to my great friends @p1xelcoder, @Snof, and everyone else at Double Fine!

V Rising, 80h to defeating Dracula I played this fantastically designed co-op combat/survival/base-builder with my kids in a self-hosted game. Borrows the great bosses-gate-progress from Valheim (also borrowed?), but with cleaner progression. Great combat and fun exploration.

Hi! If you’re wondering where to find me, I’ve started a new website. It’s called Design Room, and it specializes in games industry oral histories like the Street Fighter 2 and Final Fantasy 7 ones I did at Polygon. See more here: designroom.site

If you got PlayStation Plus, now is the time to try Indy!
