Its been awhile since I found some inspiration and more importantly time/energy to do any creative side project. But recently found some inspiration to dive deeper into more traditional roguelikes and proc gen stuff. Starting this thread so I don’t give up on it :)

Right now my game @PlayLegacyGG is 50% off during Steam's summer sale. Its not a game for everyone, but for players who like RPG fantasy, action combat and PvP it really hits. This is likely the lowest price we'll do until gold master! Support indie AA studios 😄🧡

This is probably one of the best game AI courses I have taken. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in the topic!

If you're looking to learn Game AI, I published a course which covers both theory and practice. 🤖📷 From Behaviour Trees to Neural Networks, including two coding assignments and eight C#/Unity libraries free for your projects! 📦🎮 (👇 link below 👇)

Great talk. I remember 10+ years ago or so, I attended a talk at gdc by the sims programming team about their data driven engine and it was so fundamental to a shift in my thinking as a programmer back then.

That's an incredible talk, probably one of the best I have seen, it has that feeling of the early game dev, and great ideas you still can find in different discussions and books, Scott Bilas - A Data-Driven Object System (GDC 2002) youtube.com/watch?v=Eb4-0M…

I’ve officially been at Riot Games for 3 years today. It’s been a pleasure getting to know all of you and work with the incredible folks here in LA. Now in light of the wildfire’s destruction I’ve linked below some LA relief funds. Please donate or help out if you can. 🧵

This feels so fluid and natural.

i joked that virtua fighter looks like the true tobal sequel but it’s true. the tobal series was made by an original VF designer who wanted to push realistic blocking animations. the genre largely abandoned that pursuit for decades until just recently



Hyped for 2025! Every year I focus on a few personal game dev goals. 2024 was focused on learning Godot, deeper dives in Unreal and making my own Action game framework. This year am focused on getting back to C++, Game AI and experiments in pushing boundaries in combat in games.


Playing a lightning sorc in poe2 and it expresses every version of that D2 fantasy I have been looking for - chain lightnings, sparks, lightning from the sky, orbs of lightning, teleports etc. So well executed!


As brutal as this is, it would make a great video game :)



Playtested it this week and the game is legit. If you love TCGs like I do, this is worth keeping an eye on!

Meet Project K: the new League of Legends trading card game for everyone who loves League’s characters and settings, TCGs, collecting, and connecting with friends across the table.
