raylib, +13 years, started becoming popular after year 6-7...

I come with you with great news today. Me and my friends have launched Humanbrew.
It's a small Discord server dedicated to homebrew made without AI. By humans, for humans. 🫶
Let's learn from each other, let's make cool things and let's have fun. :)

As someone who still prefers to make games in a custom engine I wrote, the code is kind of an inseparable part of a game's character, decisions about engine structure and every little bit of code have ripples that can be felt in the end product, even if hard to pick out specifics

I think our game studio should be 100% AI free, for the foreseeable future. I’m not an AI hater, and i think AI can assist in making good things, but with the coming AI slop wave, avoiding all AI content will be an effective filter for many players to avoid a lot of trash.

I've been reviewing a lot of code written by Opus 5.5, and it still seems to make a lot of bad software engineering decisions. The kind that will accumulate/calcify into unmaintainable software over time. IMO even the agents will struggle to maintain vibecoded software.

Devs on every MMO I worked on in the past 30 years:

After dozens of replies, I guess I have my answer as to why indie developers would use AI:
They don't care about art, or expressing anything. Their only motive is profit. Nothing else matters to them. Got it.
I suppose I was foolish to expect anything else. My bad, everybody!

Hot take: it’s the second-rate programmers raving about ai.
ai code is mediocre at best.
I have yet to experience the “great leap in dev speeds” on frontier models when I have to baby it for quality.
Even “A-listers” can have bad takes.

As I manually type more code (Yes I am a dinosaur) and review my code using AI tools, I am finding how bad AI suggestions are from an architectural perspective. It behaves like a teenager, who when asked to clean the room simply pushes all the garbage under the bed.
When I confront AI with those bad decisions it says "Oh yeah you are right....".
I really don't understand how people are 100% trusting AI and committing all the code without reviewing.

“you’ll be left behind if you don’t use Al”
Sure. And you’ll be “ahead” for a short period of time in which you’ll render yourself incapable of anything other than a middleman who knows how to prompt, which will turn out to be the most replaceable loophole job on earth

If you can't be bothered to write it, why should I read it?
If you can't be bothered to craft it, why should I touch it?
If you can't be bothered to learn it, why should I listen?
If you can't be bothered to watch it, why should I see it?

LLMs are incredible at producing something that appears to work, but if you look at in detail, it's a series of Rube Goldberg machines.
I don't believe it's a skill issue on my part. They will invariably do something incredibly stupid for the tiniest challenges. I still love them, but they certainly can't program.

Fluid draw is now 0.044ms at 1440p. That is FAST!
You most likely guessed it: Claybook HLSL -> Petafab Slang port by Codex removed cone-trace pre-pass optimization from fluids :D
Ported Claybook's fluid solver to Petafab. Looks awesome :)
24K particles test:
Simulation: 0.13ms
Surface generation: 0.05ms
Drawing: 0.3ms

Did a polish pass for object/wall/floor insides. Petafab is the game version of YouTube cake cutting videos. Feels so good to slice objects.
Video coming soon. Even better in motion.

I learned how to hide my first level loading transitions! I'm loading during a short elevator ride. #godot

Thanks all for reaching out to me, in public & privately. I'm doing well! I feel inspired to keep supporting creatives and eager to continue doing what I do in the way I want.
Chet Faliszek made a video, and I think he's much better with words than I am.
