I keep seeing friends' birthdays on Facebook and being surprised at their age ("omg so old"), then realise that I'm either the same age or not far off it :p.

Remember when some (too many) game/software publishers back in the day used fonts that didn’t clearly distinguish between 0 and O for their CD keys? Probably absurdly long too. Fun times

Sorry I’ve been completely silent for about a month. I’m now employed as a game developer working on quest/content design! Just finished my first week and am buzzing. Feels great to have people believe in you.

At what age do people suddenly feel the urge to buy a display cabinet and fill it with plates to show off?

I feel like I've become far too reliant on the things listed below, and I'm gonna experiment with dropping them from my workflow:
- IDEs
- Linters
- Syntax highlighting
- Any use of LLMs
I might also just use plain C, not C++. But we'll see (no pun intended).
Wish me luck!

I somehow managed to get my submission for the #love2d-jam on time. It's a game about answering emails! I couldn't get a web build working, which is unfortunate, but if you'd like to have a go, here's the link: stevegwh.itch.io/dokidokioffice

6 hours of play time later, and I can confirm this game is great. Hard as, but probably one of the best platformers I've played. The randomly spawning enemies can fuck off, though.
Getting round to playing some games in my library and settled on "Umihara Kawase". This game is kicking my ass. Reminds me of getting annoyed as hell playing Shinobi on the mega drive as a kid. Fun but highly irritating lol.

Trying to finish my submission to the #love2d 2025 jam. For the theme of 'plan', I've made a game about answering timed emails (typing game style) where you have a calendar and a file browser to find the correct info to respond with. It's a bit flat rn, I need to add more jeopardy and sfx.

I am just having a bit of fun prototyping things, and the main takeaway is: physics is fun.
Maybe it's just fond memories of Garry's mod and HL2, but anything I make that is physics-based always seems the most fun to me. It also helps I don't have to write the physics engine myself...

Tempted to make games in s&box... I really just am trying to find a fast/easy platform (not roblox) where you can publish games/maps and have a hope of them being discovered by players. I was really hyped about UEFN at first but it seems everyone says it's rubbish, and the discoverability is awful.

Kinda feel like I want to go on a writing retreat but instead of a novel it would be making a game. Need to travel a bit. UK winter just isn’t it

Looking at what to do next to boost my job portfolio/have some fun. I feel a UE project is needed, but one thing I dislike about that is the lack of a web player, which means nobody will ever play what I make. Maybe I could use UE for Fortnite despite never having played it? Good idea or bad?

Quite funny that I spent 550 quid on a graphics card but am now primarily using it to play thirty year old games (minus bomb rush cyberfunk).

Games I’ve completed in 2025 so far: bomb rush cyberfunk, jet set radio future, banjo kazooie and perfect dark. Working through a bit of Turok, Conker BFD and the OG tomb raider right now. Then, I’ll get back to work :p

Well hello there. Been radio silent lately taking a break and actually playing some games rather than developing, something I don’t seem to get the chance to do a whole lot nowadays.

Reading through N64 magazine circa 2001 and came across a Treasure game I've never heard of... Sin and Punishment? Time for a bit of Saturday night vidya then. Need a bit of brainless enemy zapping right now, tbh.

Damn, just found out that Lycos and Angelfire still exist. Definitely a blast from the past.

Big milestone! "Final" update on my RPG demo written in C++ and #raylib. It's all feature-complete now. So, minus some polish, this is it :). Made my own UI library, pathfinding system, asset pipeline, dialog/quest system with a markup language, + more. It's been tough but fun!
