Forgot to post this video. Here's how I build stuff in my game. Shows the whole flow and editor. It works all super well! And of course my daughter wanted a castle in the game, so why not a pink one! #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #unity3d

Father & daughter gamedev update! Added a pearl fishing mini-game. Dive, open clams and search for pearls before your air runs out. Gotta say I'm feeling the scope getting out of hands. I'd like to get this more or less done this month, so I can move on to new indie games. #gamedev #indiedev

This is really what it means to "not code" anymore. I could modify the value in code, but as I'm already in the terminal with Claude, I might as well stay there. #vibecoding #claude #ClaudeCode

Friday father & daughter game update. Today I got a super cool water shader working, quite happy how water looks now! Also added intractable elements, like signs and other animals to talk to. Not too bad for one day's work! #indiedev #gamedev

Father & Daughter game update. Added an improved "rounded earth"-effect. Love it! Had some rendering issues where my real coding experience mattered (opposed to vibe coding). Added music & a run-sound. And my kids' school, simplified & stylized to fit the game. #indiedev #gamedev

Gotten a bit obsessed with this. Been so much fun! I changed the perspective now, does feel cooler and my daughter preferred it (Although she was unsure with the fog). But the scope is growing, this was supposed to be a quick small dad & daughter game 😅 #indiedev #gamedev

And here's where I'm at now after having worked in Unity for about a week! Super happy with the progress. But far from a game at this point still. #indiedev #gamedev

Then I made a tool to easily create tiles, to use in a dual using a dual grid system. #gamedev #unity3d #indiedev

Maybe a bunch of these Titits #indiedev

Since then I started working in getting these animals into a game. Here's a furry version, animated and running around. Hadn't done any skinning and rigging in unity before. Super easy and super cool! #gamedev

Couple weeks old tweet: Took my daughter's drawing & might turn it into a game with her. It's her fantasy world called the Titi World. This took one evening! titiworld.com #aigamedev

I'd love a way to post automatically here when I tweet. If anyone got a good solution? Let me know! But for now let me show some of the stuff I've done the last couple of weeks.

Open-sourced my new native macOS app to interface with Gemini & GPT Image quickly and conveniently! Needs a Replicate API token for now. Check it out at: atmanforge.com - I thought it turned out pretty nice! I'll be using it, hope someone else finds it useful too! ❤️ #aigamedev

I've been using render.com a bit for my projects, but it's not cheap, it's not fast. Thanks to Claude Code it's very easy to setup a VPS with git actions to deploy, and it's soo much faster to deploy new builds and also cheaper.

Super cool AI use case: Take a picture of yourself, use Gemeni to make a T-pose, then use Hunyuan 3d to create a 3d model, and then animate it with Mixamo. Take the animated model, create a Three.js website out of it. And why not a Suno bg track. Result: kaleidoscopic-pithivier-3f5cae.netlify.app

Nano banano is amazing, here's my house as an isometrical game asset. Fucking ace!

Claude Code is the biggest shift in software development I've seen in my lifetime. Added search functionality to my game asset management tool while walking to pick the kids up from school. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Vibecode

I used Google’s Veo3 to bring my kids favorite plushies to life. Cool stuff! And the kids loved it 😄

Just finished watching the Minecraft movie with my kids. Loved it! Just the right mix of good vibes, adult humor, while still being a kickass kids movie!

With the help of agentic coding tools you develop things while working on in the gym. Write the prompt, do you reps, look at the result, modify, execute, repeat. Only an idea for, but I'll try it soon enough! #vibecoding

I tried @jetbrains.com's Junie for the first time today. It's agentic mode works really well! And I really prefer their IDEs compared to anything built on VC Code. Nice work by the JetBrains peeps! 🥳

Using ChatGPT to generate layouts in Unity is getting there. @unity.com's new UI Toolkit makes it much easier! Loving UI Toolkit as someone who's done a fair bit of web dev #gamedev #unity #programming #ui

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Let's cut the crap: If Ukraine falls, American safety is at risk. If Elon thinks standing with Ukraine makes me a traitor, then he knows nothing about keeping America safe.

The funny thing with Bluesky compared xtwitter is you get followers, and people see your posts without you paying anything! Love it! I might get more active here soon enough!

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

No shortage of selective outrage

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
