Jesus... I knew it was bad, but wiping out almost all of Id Software's coders - the most experienced engine coders and optimizers in the entire business - is ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

Okay I knew 3D would be difficult :D All the 3D projects I worked on, 3D assets were handed over and ready to use! 8 hours in: got a story and tiny puzzle ideas, I hate probuilder, I just reinstalled Blender... but I can walk, look around, use doors / locks and collect items 🌟

Laywelin @laywelin.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Crazy how difficult it is to start another project when you worked 9 months on the same one! I need objectives again. Or a team. Both?! Maybe a jam would help! Let's find a jam.

ChloroLink released exactly one month ago... while there might be some surprises related to it, it's time to move to another project and find a way to pay bills ✨ BUT FIRST let's update the jam toolbox to include all the new tiny tools and scripts! Love that part 💖 #gamedev #indiedev

People praising new AI building video game worlds are so out of touch ^.^" Even putting aside the part where it's trained on things people crafted without giving them any credits... you really think all those rocks in the games you love are just randomly placed, do you?

Today while discussing colors for ChloroLink: "I'd love purple, blue and green... kinda like the swamp's water in Chicory." Them: "Hmmm Chicory? I get the palette, but the game is black and white Flo. You're the one that placed those colors." I'm still processing it tbh
