Wow, according to steam stats people have now played over 2,5 MILLION hours of Staxel.. mind blowing...

@codeitlikemiley @wvo These were arguments against rust and zig when they got started too.

[bartwe @bartwerf]

@RockLeeSmile what's also missed is that we didn't find a new market, nor have players gotten more time and disposable income to absorb all these games. the cake is going to get cut into thinner slices best case

@ArturoWolff1 I'm not cool enough to be hipster ;p It is a job, got to pay the mortgage.

@fedshch Things like https://t.co/04BzWkiJzf and https://t.co/kEdmrnBAzS suggest it'll be the first to fall instead.

AI is increasingly making me feel there is no point in trying to remain in indie gamedev, not sure there is much of a niche left that i'd like to make games for that won't get cloned in a day.

@soundblooms @timsoret Sorry for the doomer phase, but if you can vibecode a project in a few days, than the value of that project is going to approach zero due to lack of scarcity/rarity/uniqueness

@memezch 'still use 6 months, just do 10x more' -> 'and where do you suppose i find the budget and people for 10x more level designers, artists, qa'

[bartwe @bartwerf]

@timsoret I think the bit you're missing is how spikey the acceleration is and how much the gaps start dominating.

[bartwe @bartwerf]

@timsoret So a few things; - my personal skills that i enjoy and spent decades on building are now replaced leaving me with the bits i don't like. - the parts that did not get accelerated now balloon as a cost that we don't have budget for. - there is just going to be too many games.

@ENDESGA Reminds me a lot of the collision system in starbound

@schteppe This code is a bit too frameworky anyways, something that you should make once a decade ago and now just use.

[bartwe @bartwerf]

@bmcnett Minus the overpaid part, and replaced by unemployed

[bartwe @bartwerf]

@SebAaltonen Congrats :)

[bartwe @bartwerf]

@OskSta This is the way

[bartwe @bartwerf]

@Rhopunzel ey, Ian Brown made some bangers ;p

@paulbettner Nobody could make it before, and there doesn't seem to be a turing-test/captcha that would stand for long.

@PAHoyeck The rule being false does not mean that 3 of the 4 cards can't act asif the rule is true, so all cards need to be checked to see if the rule is not false.

@lisyarus sounds a lot like something ubsan would flag.
