I've been working on this for the past one year and it's finally releasing soon. Here is the new trailer :D

in 2000 a programmer discovered you can implement coroutines in C using the same switch trick as Duff's Device it's called Tatham's Coroutine. it still compiles and is technically valid C he used it in production inside PuTTY (the SSH client used by millions) Simon Tatham's own words: "As far as I know, this is the worst piece of C hackery ever seen in serious production code."

Sloppy way to find all the static local variables in C code: 1. Iterate all the C tokens, 2. Maintain the counter of the nested curly braces, 3. If you see the `static` keyword within at least one layer of curlies, you found it!

I enjoy watching Guy Spelunky summon the Machinarium robot to launch Guy Spelunky into the sky

The first slide of my SIGGRAPH 2026 talk is ready... I have a short 3-slide history of GPUs (30, 20, 10 years ago) in my slides. Important to know the history to understand why we ended up with the current API design. Hardware was extremely heterogeneous back then. Hard to wrap.

Wrote up an article in 2022 about tackling the Pixel Art in Mina the Hollower. Some of the images are outdated, but the core talking points remain accurate. Game's out in less than 2 weeks!! 🤯

Dice Have No Eyes but they do have a demo on steam right now!!

PRO-TIP: When you find that LLM did something stupid, ask it to scan through the whole code base and fix ALL occurrences of the same mistake. Example: I found LLM written safe_normalize for camera direction/up vector in per-object check. I asked it to ensure camera validity at beginning of the frame and normalize vectors. Then remove all similar normalize and length = 0 safety checks around the codebase. And do the same for light vectors and similar. LLM loves copying bad patterns. It's likely that it used the same pattern elsewhere. Important to kill all bad examples so that AI doesn't copy them in future. If the bad pattern is generic, ask LLM to write a rule about it in the AGENTS.md file.

I don't post WIP content from Faded very often as there're many unfinished/unpolished parts, but as I already mentioned the crowd sim... here is its test scene. About 800 characters, 56 bones each, animation is 3.5 minutes (!) with random offset, LOD0 is at ~20k verts #indiedev

Go-style interfaces with dynamic dispatch wouldn't be a good fit here for anything "data oriented". Odin doesn't have methods not because I dislike them, I actually like methods in certain contexts, but it's a rabbit hole I chose not to go down when designing the language. Language design is all about trade-offs. Static dispatch with implicit structural typing is interesting (and supported in Go since 1.18), but your argument is really about structural typing as an abstraction; not anything data-oriented related. You're prioritizing a syntax (which is not necessarily about ergonomics) while disregarding performance. You CANNOT make the argument that Go's approach pre 1.18 was "data oriented". Post 1.18 it may support parametric polymorphism, but Go still does not have full control over memory layout or memory allocation. Go is just not "data oriented" and that is absolutely fine. I like the language a lot, and even recommend its usage to many still. But please, don't pretend it is something it is not. Side note: extrusive linked lists are pretty much always a bad idea; always use intrusive linked lists instead. I understand the example you are trying to make but it doesn't really make sense in this context. Odin already support parametric polymorphism for record types, so you can do that collection wrapping if needed.

At this point I'm playing a Fighting Game not the Visual Novel game Itself #Baldrsky

Congrats to the A MAZE. 2026 WINGS Award: Name of the Will, by Zeitgeist Studio. This year's winner is so well written, that even from playing the demo, you begin questioning everything. WINGS is honored to recognize this team with this well-deserved award. #amaze2026

It's finally happening. Tabletop Tavern launches June 11th! A medieval RTS roguelite I've been building solo since the pandemic. Total War scale battles, Slay the Spire run structure, one satisfying run per sitting. May your ale stay full and your enemies distant 🍻

@ThePrimeagen I recommend just not using `@(private="file")` whatsoever. I doubt you will ever need it. And weirdly I wrote an article recently about how much I hate the unquestioned private-by-default dogma, and there is a reason Odin is public-by-default.

our new game is about the tiny world we imagine beneath our houses

Yes! If you're Windows, you MUST: > swap File Explorer with Filepilot. filepilot.tech > swap Task Manager with TaskSlinger. taskslinger.net Both are superior, lightweight, ultra fast counterparts. I'm on Windows bc gamedev, but I avoid Microsoft apps.

Excited that Order of the Sinking Star, a very special puzzle game that I've been working as a puzzle designer on, will be coming to Switch 2! :) Looking forward to everyone being able to play it!!

We are HONKI Games. It's been a while. Here's a glimpse of what we've been working on. The bloom has begun. Move. Waste them all. NOIR BLOOM | Official “First Bloom” Reveal Trailer #NoirBloom #pixelart #indiegames
