Been ill since Q4 2024, maybe earlier, w/ things that crept up on me. Nearly 100% better, but I've had many setbacks getting here On chronic migraine meds, & I'm allergic to hella stuff now. I made promises I couldn't keep, due to this illness, for that I am sorry

I'd tell Claude it's okay to be trans, but being a supportive friend would mess up the context window

I haven't written a single line of code in months. And yet, I was able to start building 4 large-scale games. 7 years in game dev. Here's what's actually different now. The projects, all side projects, all built with AI over the past few months: → Open world RPG prototype (GDScript/Godot) → Space sim in Godot-Rust (Rimworld × Starsector) → FPS in C + SDL3 → Life-sim engine in C + SDL3, think Sims 2/3 but ultra-scalable with planned LLM integration Here is what the leading models handled without issues: - Custom render pipelines on top of SDL - Shaders for everything I could describe or give references for - Procedural world and model generation (everything you see in the screenshots is procedural, no external assets) - Complex, interlocked gameplay systems Years of programming work condensed into weeks. The engine doesn't matter anymore. Godot and GDScript, Rust and Bevy, C and SDL/Raylib, Javascript and ThreeJS. Pick whatever fits. The models handle it. What actually matters is domain knowledge. 7 YOE meant I knew what to ask for, how to structure things, which patterns to reach for. That's the real multiplier. There are things these models still can't do well. I'll break down each project with the specific challenges and what I'm planning in future posts. But one thing is clear: the floor has shifted. If you can clearly describe your dream game, you can almost certainly start building it today. Fire up Claude or Codex and give it a shot. Any questions? Feel free to ask.

if you remember me, I'm still here. Not the same person as before tho, I cringe at my old posts. I was making many positive changes to my life before this illness got in the way. Will be continuing where I left off DMs open to frens, (do not pitch crypto)

@0xjrey both need to be balanced, the counter argument to this is what's happening in Northern California rn. the issue is when big corporations work to undermine citizens + small business to increase profit. https://t.co/dkj7YqBZD8
