Experimenting with different kinds of login flows - using a dialogue instead of the expected login form. I feel it sets a nice mood from the start.
What do you think? Trying too hard to replace conventions or cozy mood, pls more?

Parisian houses look so cute with some snow ❄️. Not a lot stayed but we need to take what we can get 😅.

Playing around with ship cargo and opening chests. I loved the feeling of opening packs in hearthstone. So getting my chest-opening fix as a core game mechanic without the monetization sounds fun ☺️. #gamedev #browsergame

Our navigator now walks around randomly to introduce some life to the ship. Also quite fun to talk to, I think she deserves a real name 🤔. #gamedev

I thought it would be cool to watch the crew of your airship live. Used ExcaliburJS + LDtk to build this (ugly and tiny 😭) airship + our navigator. LDtk is really fun to use, amazing software. Sadly, I am terrible at making it look good. Any good resources for building pretty 2D levels? #gamedev

From vibe coding prototypes on the left to actual implementations on the right. Uses www.inklestudios.com/ink/ as a DSL that gets parsed on the fly in the browser. Hopefully that allows me to use their dialogue editor/other tooling in the future, plus it is just text (good versioning, LLMs) #gamedev

On the other hand, what is this, Claude, wtf are you doing?! If you have any good tips for AI frontend prototyping, I'd be all ears 😅

Experimenting with frontend prototyping for a Baldur's Gate inspired browsergame with solar punk aesthetics using Claude today. I quite like the scientific notebook style that came out, probably inspired by the idea of collecting specimen from a world to explore 🤔. #gamedev

Leaving gloomy Paris for one more trip to Germany and one more PhD defense, this time as a guest. I'm hyped to experience a defense without anxiety for once 😅.

Very niche post, but I've finally made it to my first 3k rating in WoW 🎉. Overall, I have to say I found the players to be much nicer than I anticipated, largely good vibes :).

ITU Copenhagen looks very nice from the inside :). Much better than the 70s style office buildings computer science gets in Germany 😬.

I have been a bit quiet because I am very busy, but we've also had the chance to travel ✨. Any guesses where we ate this food? 1 point for the country, 2 for the city and 3 for the actual restaurant :).
