NEW Opus 5.5 is INSANE For Building Video Games (Full Test)

The Question with LLM isn't "How far can it go" But : "What will you pay in exchange for it ?" And if you cannot pay then : "What are you willing to give up for it ?" We can say holy shit, but somewhere someplace someone is going to get their 30% and it's not you or I.

Finally had some time to finish a big desired feature. a wake system, had this figured out ever since #thefalconeer, but never got around to it. Basically a top down render, drawing out the ship's profile,. then using that 2000s ripple javascript effect basically to displace the ocean #gamedev

I have been telling folks for years not to worry about cloning and focus on your own creative process. To focus on building your own audience and franchise as a protection against cloning. But AI coding specifically is drastically changing this. I stand by the advice for now....but.

Some days you just want to see if you can make something fairly conventional. Just a yacht and then just enjoy the sailing experience. It's bit seventies, but you ships like these all around Northsea ports I guess.

Saw someone share this 'shipshaper-like' recently,, pretty impressive work on ship shaper's ideas with the curves. Is it a clone. possibly..but who cares. I explained how to do it publicly. And dunno who's making this, but if they need help, feel free to reach out.. #indiedev

I will do this once, so y'all know I can do this the right way.. Then I'll go back to making inscrutable minimalist playthings that require effort and friction to use. Allright. one time only.. A proper interface.. #indiedev #shishaper Going to bed now...Bloody UI... pffff

Meanwhile I've been upping the greebling game in #shipshaper.. and the mechanical bobs also determine the powe of your ship's engines. Also... love me an asymmetric crane.. #indiedev

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... Sometimes folks just make really good looking realistic Tall Ships.. and then make screens that look like nautical paintings.. That is just sheer joy..

So the steam frame is releasing.. And having been working with it over the last year I can finally discuss it.. TLDR: Great tethered, underpowered for stand-alone use as most games wont run well. store.steampowered.com/hardware/ste...

Hey #gamedev has keyscamming gone through the roof somehow. Like I get emails now every few minutes...its thru the roof. And now they are DM-ing me on discord. I guess this is AI bot automation at work..

3185

It sails.. and which much greebly added. The current beta also adds WASD controls.. cuz you know.. Also new lamps, and a tripod fighting top, USS Texas style.. #shipshaper store.steampowered.com/app/4339280/...

0121

Taller masts, and longer sprits, and then more stay sails.. Per request now live on #shipshaper beta.

0200

So you created a rogue chatbot, scary! That doesn't make it any more dangerous than the viral labs handling civilization ending nightmares daily. Or the fuckton of nuclear weapons eagerly waiting to be used by geriatric dictators. Fucking get in line with your chatbot.. The Eschaton isn't picky

2171

anyone else experiencing this new thing of a key request scammers coming in my discord DMs (via my public verified server I guess).. very annoying..

I have an insurance agent, in the netherlands those have all been consolidated the last few years. The corp that I pay extra to be my human service point (that's an insurance agent) now assume that I want to pay them to self report and service via their website.. They are wrong.

Another day another sandbox physics updated. Seems my little ramming vessel lacks punch.. and buoyancy.. #shipshaper

5243

I also added some height snapping to side props, so getting perfectly aligned windows... now a snap! (and on beta)

0110

Working hard on the sandbox portion of #Shipshaper giving players more stuff to do with their designs. Improving the physics (hence the sinking etc) but also adding parts that boost engines. Decided to have a race between my fastest sailer and steamer. The steamer only won when turning upwind.

1328

Dive Dive! Add any diving rudder to your ship and you get the dive and submerge button. Cuz why not..

2617

You make modelling accessible and folks turn into 3D artist.. cuz this is both brilliant and beautiful. #shipshaper...... is it?

Aaah my squadron of little tugs love me.. Even if their little buoyant physics interactions are draining my system..;)

nothing but one little game about building boats!!

it's sunday so added a slightly fantasy mortar and some falconeer point defences. And the Yamoto AA gun and a general purpose triple gun mount. Why aren't battleships orange? feels so right? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev
