You can play it for free at q-andrew.itch.io/computer-is-.... Warning: the web version stutters hard for the first few levels, probably best to download the native version..
My first new game since 2023 is coming Oct 13! It will be goofy/unpolished. This is for a 3 week game jam hosted by @birdrespecter.bsky.social and @junlper.beer. My goal is to understand Godot as much as I knew Unity for Anemoiapolis. follow me at q-andrew.itch.io if interested

An excellent video by @jasonschreier.bsky.social about the economics of indie development - www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKND... The lack of single-payer healthcare and media grants in the US makes solo dev impossible unless you are living in a parent's house or married someone who can keep you afloat.
Next week I will be joining the race with my manual-drive 2006 Nissan Maxima
Lightning, a running robot developed by Chinese smartphone maker Honor, finished a 21-kilometer (13 mile) run in Beijing in a stunning 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record by more than six minutes. https://cnn.it/4mLRxQ8
Working on gameplay to save the best part for last, which is art/graphics. Engine is @godotengine.org and yes, there will be playgrounds
One of many reasons why I'm not focusing on high-fidelity immersive games like I used to. When friends or family wanted to buy it for their Mac or switch, just had to shrug and say oopsie Also, cohesive realistic 3d is insanely time consuming
This is going to happen... a lot. Not just because things like the Steam Deck encourage a minimum viable hardware spec, but because a growing portion of our players cannot and will not be able to access major leaps in hardware. RAM and GPU prices are making the cutting-edge player more rare!
I'm a simple man. I see procedural building and I smile
Procedural buildings are for #GrimShiver, but I think I'll also add them as toys in the #Wilderless games. This is my first test at using gizmos to change a house - just the width/length/height for now, and thinking which other variables to expose. NimianLegends.com

Are you making an indie game and in need of a place to show it off? Are you able and willing to get to Grand Rapids, Michigan? If you answered yes to both of those questions, you should sign up for the JAFAX 2026 Indie Game Space! forms.gle/dyX8gcvtVGrH...
Not kidding, watch the first 10 minutes of this birdwatching documentary (even if you don't know or like birdwatching) Then watch the rest because it is great youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo?...

gonna release a video game featuring copyrighted materials i don’t have a license for BUT the original license holders can opt out afterwards if they don’t wanna be chill about it that would go fine, right
Exclusive: OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator, which creates videos featuring copyrighted material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear.
Testing rendering/staging in #godot with @polyhaven.com assets, starting to get the hang of it.

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe
Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it
