I haven't written a single line of code in 1 year.
2 of the projects I was working on are still alive in a way.
I decided to continue building out the FPS game and rewrite the Godot Open World in a custom C + Vulkan engine.
There are no limits to what you can do in game development at this point, the latest closed source and open source models are good enough for everything you can imagine.
I haven't written a single line of code in months.
And yet, I was able to start building 4 large-scale games.
7 years in game dev. Here's what's actually different now.
The projects, all side projects, all built with AI over the past few months:
→ Open world RPG prototype (GDScript/Godot) → Space sim in Godot-Rust (Rimworld × Starsector) → FPS in C + SDL3
→ Life-sim engine in C + SDL3, think Sims 2/3 but ultra-scalable with planned LLM integration
Here is what the leading models handled without issues:
- Custom render pipelines on top of SDL
- Shaders for everything I could describe or give references for
- Procedural world and model generation (everything you see in the screenshots is procedural, no external assets)
- Complex, interlocked gameplay systems
Years of programming work condensed into weeks.
The engine doesn't matter anymore. Godot and GDScript, Rust and Bevy, C and SDL/Raylib, Javascript and ThreeJS. Pick whatever fits. The models handle it.
What actually matters is domain knowledge. 7 YOE meant I knew what to ask for, how to structure things, which patterns to reach for. That's the real multiplier.
There are things these models still can't do well. I'll break down each project with the specific challenges and what I'm planning in future posts.
But one thing is clear: the floor has shifted.
If you can clearly describe your dream game, you can almost certainly start building it today.
Fire up Claude or Codex and give it a shot.
Any questions? Feel free to ask.

opsec level: just give up
your HDMI cable can leak what’s on your screen
watch the laptop on the left. it reconstructs the video playing on the monitor beside it from radio signals leaking out of the HDMI connection
this is TempestSDR. an antenna picks up the leakage, a HackRF radio captures it, and software turns it back into an image
researchers took this further with Deep-TEMPEST, using AI to make recovered images and text easier to read. this clip shows the original technique
quality depends on shielding, distance and interference. the picture is imperfect, but recognizable content still gets through
a wired connection can still leave a wireless trace
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
HDMI TEMPEST demos like TempestSDR recover distorted images only in controlled close-range setups often using unshielded or poorly shielded cables; standard consumer HDMI connections and distances prevent practical screen leakage or remote recovery.

You have to relentlessly push your agents and LLMs to go into the right direction. Leave to much to chance and it starts fucking up or starts making obviously wrong choices in your code. This makes or breaks projects imo

I have a confession:
I don't actually like phones.
At heart I'm a game and engine dev, I like DeFi, I enjoy tinkering with Linux. I'm the furthest from a mobile dev. Before LLMs were great at frontend I absolutely hated doing responsive design.
I also think people should return to the desktop as I've said in the past...
But since most of the population uses phones, I might as well try some things. @askcommonplace will continue and it's just the start. Software has never been easier and there is a real opportunity for making everything better, including what runs on phones.
I'm also thinking about the distribution aspect. F-Droid is good, GitHub releases work. Play Store/App store? Not a fan. What is the future of distribution for mobile apps if Google enforces ID checks and all that? Maybe this is where crypto and DeFi can be useful.
If you're thinking about this too, let's chat.

Just a reminder that Google announced that all Android app developers must register centrally, pay a fee, and submit government ID, or their apps will be blocked on every device. I won't comply.

Took me a while but here we are. Confident now that my app is among the fastest of its kind on Android, but there is still a lot of potential.

Even faster answers are coming at no accuracy loss. I've resorted to patching llama.cpp with specific improvements, once they are proven solid I'll open PR's upstream as well.

🚨 VITALIK: “We really need to treat data as toxic waste by default.”
At Devcon Mumbai, he calls for open-source tech and zero-knowledge proofs to protect privacy and reduce reliance on trust.
