Maximilian Csuk ⚔️ Lost For Swords

Game developer, working on roguelike deckbuilder Lost For Swords:

[Maximilian Csuk ⚔️ Lost For Swords @Max_Bytes]

Lost For Swords ⚔️ is my love letter to roguelikes and card games. To deckbuilders and dungeon crawlers. To strategy and tactics. It is Slay The Spire meets Into The Breach with a pinch of Diablo 2.
If any of that resonates with you ➡️ it's out on Steam now!!!💖(link below)

@currentlynotgho Good, now prepare to suffer in the dark tower! *diabolical laugh*

[Mario Zechner @badlogicgames]

lots of talk on here, not a lot of innovation (that includes my work).

models have improved, but everything around them is basically a play on the original CC.

if agents make experimentation in software so feasible, then why don't we see that materialize in products?

[Mario Zechner @badlogicgames]

everyone i follow on here that paddles "tokens tokens tokens" either publishes absolutely broken garbage software they themselves haven't used for anything other than building garbage, or blog posts that are inactionable.

it's fucking hilarious.

i love that everyone got a robot that writes code for them, and existing apps i use haven’t gotten any better, and there’s no new cool apps that i’ve started using

We've got quite some traffic at @Max_Bytes's #LostforSword's Booth at #BeaverRocks Day 2!

A few things I've noticed as all devs write code with AI.

When you write foundational / architectural code of a new project by hand, you "feel" the code pushing back if your abstraction isn't right. You feel when something is harder than it should be. The code is telling you it's not in the right shape. Good engineers are sensitive to this.

When you're using an LLM, you keep pushing right through this in a way that feels like you're making progress, and it may even be directionally correct in a sense, but the underlying foundation of it all is actually bad in a way that either kills progress of the LLM later as it buckles under the complexity it has created or destroys your ability to maintain the code long term.

Related to this, I see a general restlessness with just sitting and thinking about a problem for a while.

As I've been working on a new library here at Laravel, there have been days where it feels like I mainly just stare at my screen thinking about something. When Claude Code is at your fingertips, it's tempting to just start yapping into the terminal and watching code come out the other end. Again, directionally correct in some ways, but often doesn't land on the elegant solution that is waiting to be discovered.

@badlogicgames Would love to read a practical intro for sure!
I had a suspicion that copilot isn't good because everyone seems to have success using AI, and I... don't :D
I'm also used to Visual Studio, dunno if that's a problem

[SULLY 🎨 @artofsully]

random #gamedev ramble about something i've been thinking about/seen recently, specifically —
looking at a game mechanic in isolation (early in dev especially), not finding fun in it, doubting the design, and feeling forced to add complexity to it to bring that fun out
