They are very satisfying to play around with!

Finished up the first demo for my talk next month. Goal is to give an intro to generative design by progressively adding more "generative" features and explaining why we need them. [video in 2 parts because of limits..] #generativedesign #generative #isometric #generativeart

Craft is expertise. It’s the attention to details that only come from dedication to your medium. Your ability to create work that feels like magic to others.

Will King @wking.dev · 27/05/2025

Soul is emotion. It’s the heartbeat that gives rhythm to your work. Your ability to look beyond data and feel what others need before they can articulate it.

Will King @wking.dev · 27/05/2025

Taste is curation. It’s the unique lens you distill information through. Your ability to pattern match across disciplines and draw connections others miss.

To grow as a designer, this is your foundation. The qualities AI cannot replace, only amplify:

You two are definitely in the wrong business. lol I would consider value based pricing vs hourly for this revenue stream though.

This looks slick in app. 🤘

❌ Approve working changes and move on. ✅ Ask for it to explain changes you don't understand

Will King @wking.dev · 19/05/2025

❌ Tell it to go off and create building block ✅ Ask for 3 different versions of each building block and ask to explain the best option based of decisions made on previous building blocks

100

Will King @wking.dev · 19/05/2025

❌ Give it broad ideas/changes to do ✅ Ask it to break down them into small building blocks, and then ask why

Will King @wking.dev · 19/05/2025

Vibe vs Mentor Coding Make these 3 changes and you get more than code from your time spent building your ideas:

Will King @wking.dev · 19/05/2025

Yup! And it is hard to have concrete opinions when you never get your hands dirty.

Will King @wking.dev · 19/05/2025

Taste lives at the intersection of creation and consumption. Consumption broadens possibilities. Creation sharpens it. This back and forth refines your intuition for what matters.

Having a kitchen doesn’t make you a chef. The number of creative AI tools is exploding. They can feel like creative superpowers, but it is still your job to put in the reps. You can’t generate taste.

Will King @wking.dev · 14/05/2025

It's Laravel, React, Tailwind. Most of the map generation logic is in Laravel and the game loop is in React. Concepts definitely reused.

Thanks Connor! Been thinking through the tileset and sprites and uncovered this "dual grid" system and this is going to be so fun. youtu.be/jEWFSv3ivTg?...

I heard on the pod this morning! I have been itching to see it since hearing about it. Your idea for it being a platform that can be leveraged for in person and company events is something I have thought a lot about recently.

Will King @wking.dev · 14/05/2025

I wasn't planning on it...but the wheels of fate keep turning.

Will King @wking.dev · 14/05/2025

Well I do not come even close the the depth of Laravel experience everyone else has so I might as well lean into the strengths I do. 🤣

Will King @wking.dev · 14/05/2025

Thanks Justin! Building this has been more akin to sculpting than engineering.

I'm launching a blog. In 2025. After saying blogging was dead. I was wrong!!! Journalists and writers like @andydehnart.com and @maliha.site have shown me how wrong I was about this. Why I'm doing this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcXq... The blog: RevenueRulebreaker.com

100% artisanal code. [REDACTED] since it is for my Laracon talk, but I will invite you after I finish up the WIP today.

I'm doing a talk on it in July, and will share more of the nitty gritty here as well!

Thank you! It is just getting started. 🤘

IT WORKS! I think I need some sound effects though. Also some real sprites.
