Jeff Webb

Seems like a good time for an intro post. I'm Jeff Webb, I'm a programmer in the games industry, where I mainly focus on systems, tools, and perf. I most recently shipped The Lampligthers League with Harebrained Schemes. You can find examples of my work on my website: www.jeffwebb.tech

Why didn't anyone tell me that Godot has a built-in Solarized Dark editor theme

It is genuinely exciting to see an open source engine achieving popularity here.

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

The only things keeping my windows partition alive are anticheat and very specific portions of gamedev.

I genuinely could name basically any game or franchise from before 2010 and I think it'd be valid but I think the big stunner for me has ALWAYS been Simcity

Genuinely can't wait to see what fucked up aesthetic wave the omnipresent Shitty GenAI Poster era causes GenAI squats the slot normies read as Highly Polished Art, so do we get an era of sketchy oddity? Design skills-heavy shapes / balance? Literal scribbles? What creates enough aesthetic distance?

Fighting games, I'm begging you, give me a way to indicate someone GGs before leaving a set.

This has been a really great talk and covers a bunch of pitfalls (plus many more) that I've fallen into: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU_n...

I feel like game devs are a unique combination of all of “doing some of the hardest software engineering”, “wild west cowboy bullshit”, and “hitting themselves in the head with hammers for no reason”

Finished up I am your Beast today and what a game. The soundtrack is going into my work music rotation.

Gosh I love GDQ so much. The talent, the charity, the TRANS RIGHTS!!

When I decided I wanted to make videogames as a career, I didn't realize how much not making videogames was involved.

Treasure coming back and announcing a sequel to this:

Proud to announce the next game Vampirium: 1997 Dracula is king of the United British Empire. Kill his enemies and find your own path through a minimalist immersive sim sandbox. Wishlists and retweets massively appreciated (and, you know, massively helpful) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

It's a great day to type many messages and never send them.

The first public build for my 1000 player space game is out now. www.patreon.com/SpaceGameLLC... It's early days still, but please give it a go, and let us know what you think!

GIVE IT UP TO @bluekandy.bsky.social FOR BEATING THE KIRBY AIR RIDERS ALL TRACKS (NO DUPES) WORLD RECORD 👏👏👏

I liked Wax Heads and managed to put some thoughts together on it

very honored to have my 3 kaizo SMW hacks all now in the SMWCentral Hall of Fame: Masterpiece in 2025, Sure Shot in 2022, and Super 'Sonic Saves the World' World in 2021. There's so many wonderful games, ideas, and people in the SMW hacking community, & I am so grateful I can be a part of it

Strong 2010 vibes

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/0...

We're finally bringing our powerful and user friendly CPU profiler to Linux! The beta version is now publically available, and it's free for 60 days during the open beta, so there's really no excuse not to try it out! Just download, extract, optimize. superluminal.eu/applications...

so I've been looking at my finances, and all my income sources have plummeted I'm gonna have to shift my focus away from #half-edge and giving talks, because unfortunately they're huge money sinks I can't afford if you can, I'd appreciate your support, especially now ❤️ www.patreon.com/c/acegikmo

Statistically, you have this incredible adventure just waiting for you to be in the right mood to play it. Maybe that day is today?

I think all the time about the fact that before I took my current job, I had three offers in hand, and now only my present studio out of the three exists anymore. The other two are completely shut down. This studio has also had layoffs! I just did not get hit on either occasion they happened.

Lovecraftian/cosmic horror is a perennial favorite theme for settings and narratives in games... but what games have truly lovecraftian MECHANICS? Let me know if you know a few.

worms in my brain gotta get em out
