Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’ve been hooked on A.I. it’s just so good at coding 001
Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 21/08/2026My exact thoughts. To me it’s just a tool, a power drill for devs. Avoiding it is stupid but also thinking it is going to be the end all be all is also stupid. 010

Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Related but kinda not, knowing what you know now, what would you recommend an indie starting today do to have the best chance at success? Be an interesting blog post from the legend 010
Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I managed to get some net-code going, still a little dizzy. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #screenshotsaturday #sss 062

Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Yeah I don't think anything I ever make is going to sell like mew, I am not famous enough lol 000

Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Why do you think so many people, especially devs, seem so against AI? I don’t get it. It’s coming and it’s pennant going to be great. 110
Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Players can now pickup a box and drop it, is it time for a Steam page? #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #sss #screenshotsaturday 1123
Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 13/02/2026I want to get replaced by AI and then be begged to come back 110
Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 06/02/2026As a fan of you I am glad you seem to be FOR AI and not against it. I don't understand the hate/resistance to it. I think the cool kids would use the term "forced", I consider it "forced". 010

This is the second one in my series about programming a PC strategy game from scratch in C++ using directx.

Reposted by HamboneCliff Harris (Cliffski) @cliffharris.bsky.social · 22/10/2025Considering making a series of videos about the programming behind Ridiculous Space Battles. I code from scratch in C++, no unity, my own engine using directx9. I use Visual Studio and irrklang for sound. Thats about it. I need to remind myself it *does not matter* if not many people are interested! 2151

Hambone @thehambone1988.bsky.social · 14/09/2025I had forgotten how much progress I had made with this little project =) I have been deep in engine code rewriting the transform system, sometimes I need a visual. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #solodev #customgameengine #screenshotsaturday 0164

Reposted by HamboneRami Ismail (رامي) @ramiismail.com · 13/05/2025Viv is 100% correct here. Your options are always one of three: 1. Do not make an indie game. 2. Get funding, usually by making something that fits a very narrow and useless definition of "safe", and subsequently losing agency over your production reality. 3. Have another income or means. 22939197
