Indie Retro News: PANG - An arcade classic could be coming to the Sega Mega Drive (beta available) www.indieretronews.com/2026/10/pang... #arcade #retrogaming #gaming #games

The new #Spotify AI chat doesn't know how to filter out AI generated music but it sure knows how to bake a cake. At the very least, it should have suggested "going the distance" #AIFail

Another day of tweaking my #cyberdeck, been able to clean up the #UX so it displays way more information without it feeling too cluttered. Each widget is easy to scan & understand what's going on. Also wired it to show me all of the local #LLMs I have running in my office & apartment.

Been working on a little side project in between coding sessions. I've always wanted to build a #cyberdeck so I stripped down linux and made my own terminal dashboard for controlling #hermes, #claude, #codex and #omp from a device I can take anywhere. Using #wtfutil which makes this so much easier!

Getting ready to release my next Fantasy Console #P64. Submitting it to the #Reddit #gamejam in the next hour and hope to make it public once I work all the bugs out. Also messing around with some claymation scenes from the 80s for the new website and banners. #gamedev

Been quietly working on my first new game engine in over a decade: a tiny C++ fantasy console built with raylib, with its own memory map, BASIC-style scripting & web/native builds. Also laying the foundation for a much bigger overhaul of another fantasy console I made years ago 😉 #ScreenshotSaturday

#paperclipai simply re-introduced a problem no amount of AI has been able to figure out how to solve: "the CEO keeps trying to build an org chart instead of doing work."

Wait... create a workflow for what?!? 🤔 Unless #ClaudeCode is trying to tell me something, @vscode.dev might want to double-check those truncation rules.

How's your Friday afternoon going? I'm finally building a CI pipeline to generate signed Mac apps which is a first (since I was too lazy to do it for PV8). Hopefully, once I get this working, I can do it for all the apps my company, @bfreelabs.ai will be releasing. Signing Windows apps is up next!

Just released a new episode with Christina (Castpixel) @castpixel.bsky.social an Art Director I had the chance to work with on Australia Did It. We talk about art direction, generalist skills, and working in game dev. Watch here: youtu.be/VFVHC8wY2YI Hope you enjoy it 😄 #gamedev

Check out a new app I'm working on and it's new account.

Let's get this party started. Fuck it, we're doing it live!

For those of you who knew Sandy Duncan or are interested in learning more about the man, the myth, the legend who ran Xbox in the EU and YoYoGames, I wrote a eulogy on Medium about his passing - medium.com/@jessefreema...

I built a thing. You can now try eddo. It's my attempt at augmenting agentic coding with useful human-in-the-loop tools. It's early days and still quite brittle. I don't have a manifesto lol. You might still like it. Give it a try: eddoapp.com

After buying & setting up all this hardware, I figured it was time to get a server rack & organize it. The front looks way better than the back. Still a work in progress, but I definitely leveled up my sysadmin skills since everything turned on & worked the first try! #AI #ML #IT #GameDev #BFreeLabs

After weeks of learning #Proxmox, I finally got a virtual drive setup using an #Unraid VM share → Proxmox dir mapping → #Win11 VM → VirtioFS → WinFsp, with zero performance overhead. Now my VMs have shared, expandable storage without pre-baking network drive auth #Virtualization #VMs #DevOps #AI #ML

Well, this is a first. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Claude curse before. After a few hours of yelling at it like the bad slime in Ghostbusters 2, it’s finally starting to crack. #AI #Claude #GameDev #Copilot

Super Mario 64 - Complete Clear Guide / Guide book / Media Factory / 1996

Was expecting more of an unboxing experience from the #Nvidia RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q, considering the price. But really, I'm just interested in the 96GB VRAM! Unfortunately, I'll need one more #AI/#ML client before I can afford to throw a second one in my new #Lenovo P8. #LocalLLM #GameDev

I'm setting up my "Xbox" & this is one of the worst onboarding experiences I've ever seen, especially for a gaming handheld. @microsoft.com did the bare minimum to slap an @xbox.com logo on the Ally X. Taking this personally because I was pushing for something like this when I worked there in 2012!

OutRun GB update: 🌴 - Release Date is MONDAY! - Download the game for Game Boy Color and Analogue Pocket for Free. #pixelart #indiedev #gameboy #gbstudio #retrogaming

hey this looks cute!

Hey folks - I am around for work from mid September so if you need for your game: -Technical environment work -VFX work -Level design DM me or get me at my email address Jamie.degen(at)gmail.com Reshares of this are greatly appreciated!

Installing a new 5090 in my AI office pc and this wire is a joke right? I wonder why these melt 🤔. MSI and Nvidia should be ashamed of themselves!

I've been making steady progress on #KingdomByTheSea and thought I'd do a little live streaming as I figure out the textures for these randomly generated 3D islands in #WebGL. Come watch live at jessefreeman.tv #GameDev #WebDev #LowPoly

Taking a break from GB #GameDev to prototype an idea I wrote down 9 years ago called #KingdomByTheSea. Testing how #ChatGPT5 handles the #WebGL 3D stuff my brain doesn’t fully get and to help me balance the mechanics. Watch live at: jessefreeman.tv #AI #IndieDev

I've been sitting on a game design document for almost a decade and just fed it into ChatGPT 5 to see if it could prototype it. This is what it came up it. It's fully playable, procedurally generated, & helping me balance the mechanics. What a wonderful time to be alive! #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

This is a nice surprise: I won Best Integration in @adobeexpress.adobe.com's #Devpost contest. Winners get $5k to build out the plugin and help to ship it. Funny being on the other side of a hackathon. I’m usually running them. devpost.com/software/sid... #AdobeExpress #DevLife #Hackathon #BFreeLabs

Back from 2 weeks in Cali and getting back into #ReaperBoyGB. Still a lot to build. Today I’m working on my #GameBoyTestFramework to automate testing as I finish features for my #gbcompo25 entry. Join me on day 19 live at jessefreeman.tv #IndieDev #GameDev

Last chance to get 1200 fonts at 90% off from my friends over at @chequered.ink - All Fonts Pack ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pa... #gamedev #indiedev #assets #fonts #webdev

🧵 My current AI dev stack - the 8 tools I use daily, plus 2 honorable mentions. Each tool serves a specific purpose in my workflow. Here's what they do and what they cost. 👇

Tired of having to manually test input in your @gbstudio.dev games? I present the #GBTestFramework, an automated input system that you can create scripts & generate out reports to verify things are working without manually playing your game. Still a #WIP but I'm getting a lot closer! #gamedev

hey, someone's gotta do it (paper apps LABYRINTH is on Kickstarter now! kickstarter.com/projects/brintown/paper-apps-labyrinth)

Huge fan of his acting, work on gay rights & @howardstern.com. I experienced similar when harassed by the Polish government for using “Polish Death Camps” in post I wrote on teaching my boys about the holocaust. History repeats itself when assholes rewrite it & remove accountability for past actions

Wow, just saw #Superman & @jamesgunn.bsky.social did an amazing job with it. The Mr Terrific fight on the beach was one of the best I’ve seen in any comic movie. Was never a big fan of DC superhero’s but I can’t wait to see what he does with the franchise next. “Richard’s” parents were great too!

Now streaming the development of my Colony Sim + RPG game! ⚒️🤖⚔️ Time to add more hair and clothes to animations! Will I finish one hair style today? Let's find out! Come join me! www.twitch.tv/sorcerystory #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine
