#Microsoft in 2025 - Increased prices on EXISTING consoles - Game Pass price hike - Copilot in freaking Notepad - "Making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC" - GitHub will introduce a fee for SELF-HOSTED runner usage - Azure global outage - "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of C/C++ code to Rust"

Insane how just glancing at a Steam page for one second is often enough to correctly guess that the game won’t sell www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu2c... #gamedev

I'm working on porting the official Microsoft DirectX12 examples to C. I am doing it for fun and to learn better about DX12, Windows and C. Here is the code for this sample: github.com/simstim-star... #directx #gamedev #cprogramming #C #graphicsprogramming

Only in #cpp this is "fairly straightforward" lmao

One thing that makes me reluctant to use C instead of C++ is concurrency, especially on Windows. C++ support for concurrency is already not great as is, but at least it offers a lot of nice functional programming idioms out of the box that make the code nicer compared to using raw Win32 stuff.

It's funny to find an __if_exists in DirectX 12 official examples when this article devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/... says you should never use it

Some notes I took while studying DirectX 12. Do you take notes while studying? #programming #gamedev #gamedevs #gamedevelopment

I created a new account here and on Twitter to see how fast both grow posting the same content about #gamedev. Results after one day: #Bluesky: 44 followers and every post got a few likes. #Twitter: 1 follower and 1 like on the posts. Great results, only thing I miss here is an impressions count.

Sharing this graph to show how I reached 10K followers as a #gamedev on #bluesky in roughly 10 weeks. Thanks for being part of it!
