2022-07-22: I didn't go chasing this down, but I did complete any part of the api break this would have so rest of the issue, if there is actually an issue, would be implemention details. Did I have a stroke while writing this comment? What the hell does it even mean?

Also, I got a cat. Officially adopted her yesterday after fostering her for a week. This is Violet (shelter given name which may change). Comment with your #gamedev #pets!

A cat, Violet, on a cat-tree looking surprised.

The best kitty, Violet, waiting to see if she gets attention. Of course she gets attention!

It isn't much to look at, but this is a WIP animation that I slapped together today in Blender. If you enjoy driving around random roads, racing for the fastest time or otherwise controlling vehicles: we can be friends!

What does being an "Organized Game Developer" mean for you?

Tim Beaudet @timbeaudet.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

I make games. Make games requires solving an endless stream of problems. I am a professional problem solver. The biggest problem I face is making sales; whether that is a game worth buying, or getting people to know about the game in the first place... 🐔 or 🥚?? #gamedev

@ottermakegames.bsky.social gave me an interesting thought... "There is a difference between a commercial and an ad, I don't know what it is yet but..." This feels mind bending. It feels completely true, yet I also can't describe it further.

How Not to Release a Demo: Prepare the build, prepare the promo content, Open Steam, press "Release" ... Have your power go out. I'm trying to tell the world that store.steampowered.com/app/2695500/... is coming to Steam and now has a Demo! I'm on a phone with LTE because ... my power went out.

This is the most niche project I could do - correcting the graphics of the trucks from the original Monster Truck Madness. Trying to keep the "made in Deluxe Paint" style, but more correct to the real trucks. #retrogaming #simracing

streamBuffer is an in memory buffer of audio data, what did past-me mean with this comment??

Comment: Is expect the streamBuffer read only, and thus the case should be okay to improve performance (instead of allocating and copying the memory into the stream buffer just use it in place. -TIM 20150517

Improve efficiency by flipping upside down and finding the lowest priority tasks to be avoided. Discovering what NOT to focus on will naturally also lift the important tasks! This is a lesson from my business reviews, join my next one on 6am ET, Nov 2nd. twitch.tv/timbeaudet #gamedev #indiedev

The IGDA has started to use "IGDAF" to describe themselves and I read it as IDGAF *every time.* It stands for the international game developers association foundation, but I really think they might want to reconsider the F on the end there.

Today is the first. For me, that is pay day. Unlike a normal payday this one sucks. It means I move money from my runway into an account where it disappears by the end of the month only to repeat the process. Someday I hope my runway grows. This is the challenge I am faced with. Grow thy runway.
