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.

you just need html to build a website btw

Ayo this seems pretty good
The newest #MaixStation Dock board design is here!
Outperforming #DGX Spark's AI power in just 10x10cm, Check out the new option for local AI deployment: sipeed.com/maixstation/
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.
@googlegemma would be nice if I could get some insight on how to properly run more LLMs on the TPU on newer Pixels. So far Gemma E2B apparently is the best thing I can run for my offline research app @askcommonplace
Even an upgrade to E4B would go a long way.
nice
I love herdr, started using it recently. I was one of those psychos who just rawdogged tmux with multiple panes and different shells on all of my niri workspaces.
Now I'm a bit more organized without running any of the labs official desktop apps.
reminder
while Opus 5.5 is still the best model out there, most tasks really don't need it
get some compute if you can, open source will only be up from here

published the Android local AI bounty retrospective as a @gweidomains blog (I know @VitalikButerin prefers content that isn't limited to X)
worth sharing with anyone you know who's skeptical about crypto's non-speculative use cases

Open models on your own hardware
Claude gonna start snitching on Tuesday.
Anthropic just emailed customers. Starting Nov 3, text carries an invisible watermark.
You can't see it. It survives copy and paste, and it can survive some editing.
Only regulators, journalists, fact-checkers and researchers can check for it right now.
It doesn't say who you are. It says Claude touched the words. Even a quick proofread counts.
If your brand voice runs on Claude, write like someone might check. Because now someone can.

Interested in how Commonplace works and what makes it stand out? There is a lot of documentation on the backend on GitHub (just follow the README): github.com/0xPD33/commonplac…
