Prototype 3 update: daily decisions are starting to matter. I can set ticket prices and wave modes before opening the park, and those choices now affect demand, revenue, guest satisfaction, and reputation over time. Very rough, but the management game loop is starting to show up.

I'm not vibe-coding my current project, but I am using agents to co-plan the architecture. I'm also using agents as code reviewers, and honestly, the feedback I get from them has helped me improve my own code reviewing skillset.

Ongoing learning and development! I now have a full day cycle programmed in, including park visitors, activities, and a daily financial summary. The foundation of a simulation type game is really taking shape!

Next unimpressive update, I've simulated "guests" in my #game that enter, "surf" in a wave pool, and exit.

Wrote a "first steps" prototype in #Godot. Nothing special, nothing amazing, but it's fun to learn and build!

[Brett Fitzgerald @brettfitzgerald]

I'm starting to learn #godotengine. More to come...

[Brett Fitzgerald @brettfitzgerald]

While this certainly isn't life-changing financially, the mental "win" is significant. The validation that something I built is actually useful or fun to someone else is exhilarating. I'm stoked to see what's in store for 2026!

I like to keep busy, which leads me to side projects fairly often. I've had several "launches" that didn't generate revenue, but they were fun experiments where I learned a ton.

Yesterday, the Android app I built, Picture Wizard, actually had its first organic sale!

What if "Artificial" Intelligence was actually Augmented Intelligence?

AI doesn’t replace your brain — it turbocharges it.

@chewjitsu Just purchased your vault, went to the first newsletter, printed it, and read this: "From a test run I did this past year, most people preferred the digital option so this one is digital instead of physical."

@withBackdrop Pumped up to announce our podcast: A History of the World, According to War. @HistorianVictor and I built a set of AI-driven automation tools to create an engaging podcast viewing history through the lens of warfare. Our first episode with the new toolset drops this week!

[Brett Fitzgerald @brettfitzgerald]

@thattallguy @withBackdrop I'm building a co-host for a podcast about the History of the World, viewed through the lens of conflict and war. Happy to make the connection, with @HistorianVictor :)

[Brett Fitzgerald @brettfitzgerald]

Excited to be invited to this cohort and to start building with Backdrop Build #BackdropBuild @withBackdrop

Today in War History, August 10th, 1675 – The Swedish army defeats the Brandenburgers in the Battle of Fehrbellin, showcasing Swedish military prowess and changing the course of the Scanian War. A tactical masterstroke that still resonates! #WarHistory #OnThisDay #History
