i can talk to a stranger in my taxi for forty minutes. i cannot open a message about work. fourteen of them are sitting unread on linkedin, some for a month it is not laziness. its one specific blocked door, and it cost me two months of not applying anywhere tonight i open all fourteen #JobSearch

i opened a freelance desk this week, because of a number i found on friday. i exported a year of my own data. the post i wrote off as a failure brought more people than the one i was proud of. i had been reading the wrong number for a year. priced properly this time. #python #gamedev #indiedev

i have spent eighteen months guessing low about my own work. on friday i found out i do it about my own life too. i said 1,600 commits. the repos said 1,980. i said three months to move out. Arihmetic said six weeks. same direction every time. not once the other way. #gamedev #indiedev

i spent four extra days on a build and added almost nothing. most of it was connecting things i had already built and could not reach: a contract you pay $1.2m for in game and cannot read, a tutorial that had been hiding the bottom third of every screen. 0.6.2 is out, free. #indiedev #gamedev

build has moved again, and it is my partner's fault in best way. every page of notes she hands me has a thing on it that never worked. today it was a contract that charges you $1.2m and then does nothing for 270 days, because one line that supposed to charge was read by nothing #gamedev #indiedev

wrote down the whole 48 days :) what the game cost in hours, money and people, with every number from the repo 64 of 474 commits were made between midnight and 4am. that one surprised me too pcworkman.dev/blog/forty-eight-days/ #gamedev #indiedev #strategy

pcworkman.dev

Forty-eight days, a taxi, and a game. Everything I have built has earned 70 zł.

474 commits in 48 days of evenings after taxi shifts. What building a game alone actually cost, in hours, money and people, and what happens next.

#screenshotsaturday my ai company tycoon grew up this week. the offices got real floors and your company's name over the door. there's a city now. the server room heats up as a whole room, not cabinet by cabinet 48 days old. made at night after taxi shifts. free on itch game (PL and EN) #gamedev

A rented office in Scaling Laws: ten desks, glass meeting room, the company name over the entrance.

The second, bigger office: twenty desks, a glass meeting room, a street shopfront.

The city of Bayview from above: houses, roads and hills.

The server room in the basement with cabinets and a heat readout, Polish interface.

I knew I was going to get stuck here. Tried 3 times. Rolled back the game each time. Eventually I gave the wheel to Marcin @marcin-firmuga.bsky.social. He got through on his first try. 😂 #EuroTruckSimulator2 #ETS2 #Gaming #TruckSim

Hi, I’m Samanta. My boyfriend makes games, and I’m usually the one trying to break them. Today I found out that 7 accelerators can be faster than 8. I’m still not sure how I feel about that. 😂 #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev
