We can really just do things now. Like... build a custom engine from scratch with the new Goose programming language that was released two days earlier. And then load entire Skyrim in it. Ten days in so far.

Goose: my latest programming language. Safer, faster and less memory than Rust/C++ for algorithms where tightly packed, flat data structures matter. It can represent more kinds of data structures as flat, pointer-free bytes than any language I know. github.com/aardappel/goose 1/

It’s every indie dev's worst nightmare. I created this concept for the GMTK game jam. I held off on my Steam page to obsessively polish the mechanics... and it just got cloned and shipped. Probably mostly with a simple AI prompt. Here’s my original build vs theirs 👇
