Wish we could first align the UI changes between issues and PRs before moving onto adding the next things. Projects and labels UI still different between issues and PRs...

We have good news and bad news! The good news is that we just started production on Thimbleweed Park 2, due out in early 2028. store.steampowered.com/app/4932120/... Now the bad news... there is no bad news, it’s all good news! P.S. Thimbleweed Park 1 is on sale on Steam, Switch, iOS and Google.

Oh I know, you're working on it, as I see the releases on GitHub. 🙂 I guess it's just a feeling of not wanting to invest time, if I can't be sure that everything I currently use is supported or an alternative. But given that the site is small-ish, it should essentially work out-of-the-box.

Looks interesting! Still need to migrate to Zensical first, but every time I look at it, it seems still quite WIP and it's unclear to me, whether a migration now makes sense, or whether I should just wait a bit longer. 😅

We just pushed a new version of esoterica to github. This is the culmination of around 2 years of work. Massive improvements across the board but most notably a brand new and modern DX12 based renderer. If you want to build your own engine, it's a great starting point! github.com/BobbyAnguelo...

"Expanding a boundary is the wrong phrase or framing. This is more like cooking or gardening. We do new things and experiment to find what we care about, to find new things to share with other people, and to remind ourselves that nothing is static and that we can define the future for ourselves."

One of the first MMO's that I enjoyed mass player activities was in Firefall, Devils Tusk was once such event. Planetside 2 with 2,000 players on one map doesn't really count as its a MMO FPS RPG, Even though I had played Anarchy Online, I still felt like a third wheel. #Firefall #MMO #GameDev

In a galaxy far far, no wait, this was on an alternative Earth timeline, their was the melding, an environment that ate up the earth, with pockets of humanity, protected by a repulsion field, that game was Firefall. #Firefall #Oldgames #VirtualPhotography

Occasionally I have dreams about #Firefall being back in development, and I'm there with the crew. 😭 That was my first job out of school, and the experience was an adventure unlike any other. The game and the team will always hold a special place in my heart.

Context matters - be it the complexity of the domain, the size of the feature (Some UI tweak? Replacing the whole message bus?), the number of users, the release process, etc. Those that claim a 10x shipping increase probably don't wait for domain expert and user feedback to ship things.

For "amber under the desk lamp" I just clicked a spot, but have no idea why that spot was relevant. "window at half three" isn't satisfying, as the text just appears after some interactions. It's not like the player actually revealed it. Still pretty cool ideas 😁

Lukas @darkcisum.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

They're pretty neat. I guess the "hard" part is, that it's unclear what one is looking for (no context) and what interaction are possible (no instructions). The latter part one could explore, but without know what to look for, it becomes frustrating.

Wrapped up a consulting job on UE5 with no prior engine experience outside hobby interest. Within hours I had significant performance improvements and found architectural design flaws. Job ads making hard requirements on specific engines show deep misunderstanding of software engineering.
