Arena 2006 Dev

I'm vibing a game ...And I'm on a mission to watch the most YouTube ever.

@poteto is perf work just "make this app/page faster. loop until you can't find any more improvements" ?

clicking some heads with the shotgun and then hopping on the snowmobile.

Kinda envisioning a co-op level with one person shooting from the back of the snow mobile while the other drives. #indiegame #vibecoding #bevy

@gmi_cloud you're making me want to buy a claude subscription 😭
there's one pretty noticeable z fighting issue but really not many more which is also impressive.

seems hard for the current models to spot that issue using static images

@dangreenheck oh I see this in your prompt so sounds like your point is that it can come up with this fairly fast and little subscription usage. a pretty interesting time!
- feel free to seek out whatever references and research you need to implement this.

@dangreenheck this is the most impressive opus 5.5 demo I've seen so nice job. didn't expect the time change mechanic, reminds me of an old alan wake tech demo.

I wonder if this scene could have been mostly ripped from an existing project though

@Voxelmana @dangreenheck that's a bar 😂

Releasing my first ever mobile app here soon. made with #rust #bevy #indiegame #vibecoding

Chat made me some marketing vids with davinci :)

@ThePrimeagen I wanted to dump on this post but figured I'd be hated on. it really would be cool to see what progress this thing makes in a 4 hour or 1 day timespan. I'm willing to update my opinion if it's really making cool stuff!

@xikhar I was not expecting the web to get caught on the traffic light! very cool. the player model swinging looks a little stiff, I wonder if you could loosen it up with some lerped rotation of the whole model or randomized movement additively applied to the big joints

I love what graalitoo is doing here with these demos, my workflow is similar to his. I found godot to not be up to the task of smooth performance under the scenario you described. So I've moved my game to rust + bevy. Fortunately agents can make the migration very straightforward!

Garbage collection in c# godot felt like the limiting factor. I hear gdscript doesn't have GC so could have just been that

@NVIDIAGeForce @NBA2K @VicenteProd curry!

@dabit3 building my mobile game! :D

[Arena 2006 Dev @thinkingbigge]

@natolambert sir yes sir!

@rutu_3 @Itstheanurag if they're retarded then just do the retarded solution and call it a job well done :)

I think it's time to hang up my Three.js hat.

First of all, this is not a pity post—I'll be fine. I'm also not 100% confident about this.

But I'm an over-sharer and like to talk out loud, so I thought I would share some thoughts on where I see things going and why I'm considering quitting Three.js development.

Some signals I've noticed lately that have gotten me thinking:
- Since Astra was released, I've probably seen at least 10 posts from different people that have achieved similar quality to Three.js Water Pro or better.
- Someone downloaded a video recording of one my posts, fed it to Astra and recreated it with 90% accuracy
- I've had less and less clients referrals
- A Three.js developer I respect very much is retiring from the industry due to impact of AI and lack of interest
- I've heard 2nd hand accounts of other developers losing majority of course/plugin sales due to AI
- I've noticed Three.js posts have shifted from work created by seasoned developers to vibe-coded games and demos.

Fundamentally, I no longer really see value in what I do when it can be replicated so easily.

I've always enjoyed working on hard problems. Naturally, outsourcing the hard part to an agent takes away a lot of the enjoyment for me. High-level orchestration of agents does not tickle my brain in any special way.

At the end of most days I feel unfulfilled and bored. I honestly feel like I've lost much of my critical thinking ability as I've stopped coding. I find it harder to focus on tasks and my attention-span and comprehension is noticeably dropping.

My plan right now is to finish up Water Pro v4 and see how that performs. After that, I think it's time to start thinking about what else is out there for me.

I'd love to hear thoughts from other developers & freelancers on the matter, positive or negative.

Feel free to vent!

@Graalitoo I heard that the devs on this were like eastern europe dudes sweating (literally) together in an apartment coding for 16 hours in little to no clothing 😂

[Arena 2006 Dev @thinkingbigge]

@ns123abc Looks like Terry is having that Lee Sedol moment... I wonder when I'll have mine 😳

[Arena 2006 Dev @thinkingbigge]

astra on 20x plan :O

we're gonna need more computers

@TungaBayrak @DesignArena i hear the labs have voice that are super realistic, they'll make real voices obsolete
