Flutter Scene 0.23 is out. Realtime 3D on Flutter's native graphics stack, Flutter GPU and Impeller. No forks. No platform views. Just vanilla Flutter. Global illumination, reflections, compressed glTF/KTX2, and six bundled agent skills that make vibe coding with Scene fun.

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

If we deleted all the AI stuff what would be left? People writing press releases for the love of the game?

we played Super Smash Bros Brawl when we should have been studying chemistry, we won a Gears of War 2 LAN tournament where if I'm not mistaken he threw a smoke grenade that knocked our opponents over and created the opportunity for us to break a tie-game, we bought Modern Warfare (2009) at midnight

I heard my best friend during my senior years in high school passed away in the last couple of days. To be honest we were estranged but it is nevertheless surreal. We had some great times and I'm sure that he knew that. We brought Game Boys into math class to play Pokémon,

Good Evening, “video games” was a 45 year sociological study conducted by hardware development industries. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

You may never be able to afford a console again, but I'm sure an ad supported, subscription based cloud gaming service will more than make up for it.

Got some exciting news that's too good not to share something with the world but also precarious enough that I'd prefer not to elaborate yet. Nevertheless, vibes are good!

It's not like they acquired Xbox in 2020 and it was this shiny new entity they didn't know what to do with, Xbox has been an initiative within Microsoft for nearly 30 years

Phil Spencer was tasked with achieving enterprise software grade returns in a games market where Microsoft is decidedly third of three places. Truly remarkable misunderstanding of the games industry from one of the world's largest companies

From 2012's E3 Show Daily magazine - archive.gamehistory.org/item/ef9efa… - remember when Microsoft thought the Xbox's Kinect motion controller would be a "watershed moment" for home entertainment? (Nobody gets it right all the time, folks.)

We have machinery for producing capable labour, but the people assessing capability don't necessarily know what good looks like, and conceptualisations of good might adjust with time. So what are we doing here?

Like many technologists, one of the ideas I have been grappling with over the last couple of years is - what's the point of this whole thing? blog.markvideon.dev/education-di...

Education & Digital Systems

Digital products emerge from digital factories. I write about both.
