the only two type of videogames left

type of games in 2026
AAA
"we're going to spend a billion dollar to cancel the game and close the studio, there's no game"
Quirky-ass indie
"You're a goldfish working as an antiquarian restoring old clocks, also you smoke crack"

Is the little shark missile animated? I'll have to install it myself to know, it's a really cool and weird 4X game btw!

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

Even if Betrayal at Krondor is one of my favourite games I still have to play Return and Antara, I think I may start going through this trio...

I've been porting this old flash game of mine from actionscript 3 to C++ (custom engine) and it runs at 5000+ fps at 30% gpu usage... I'll add gamepad support, achievements and a nice CRT filter or two and I'll put it on steam/itch for free, maybe port it to sega megadrive?

always loved this artwork, in my mind the frame is part of a gate like the door in the background, great sense of scale, it makes me sad that videogames are just not this cool anymore. the game is Ishar, by Silmarils, legendary french developer

The reason Valve has defined AI code as separate from AI gen is that 100% of games released on Steam now contain AI code in them. 100% .. Through unity3d, UE or Godot or the steam SDK itself. Every artists must question how much of their tools rely on AI code underneath, and reconcile with it.

This is the key to understand, AI-assisted doesn't mean "vibe coding" or poorly written code. Vibe coding is literally prompting without even checking results. You're still responsible for the code you try to push into any repository, effort and programming knowledge is still required

I envy your surefootedness. I must admit I am unsure the genie goes back into the bottle and it's given me terrible anxiety. I think for art, for music, I agree there is no future for AI-gen there...none For coding, I am not so sure, the evidence is pointing to it being a permanent fixture.

Giuseppe Navarria @techdesign.rocks · 21/06/2026

I was literally saying this but bunch of people in their bubble went "you're wrong I'm not using AI", sorry but the industry at large is using AI for coding and it's only going to grow, do what you want with it, it's just what it is.

Oh my god, get over yourselves. First of all, let‘s talk about who supports who here. I have been working on TB non stop for 16 years, and you get to use it for free. Let‘s be clear: you did nothing, while I and a few contributors did all the work.

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

Indie devs are in a tough spot: don't use AI, and watch everyone else ship games x5 faster than you or use it and be damned. I don't think there are many coders left that are not using AI agents for coding right now, it's just that effective (been coding games for 28 years, professionally for 20)
