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: https://stevegwh.itch.io/dokidokioffice

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. But, it's a bit flat rn.

The idea was the 'fun' would come from the panic of trying to find all the correct info (and type it) in time while being bombarded with new emails. I'm *sure* it can work, but keeping to the jam time limit is going to be hard.

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.

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. Was really hyped about UEFN at first, but seems everyone says it’s rubbish and the discoverability is awful.

I started a new project in Unity, got inconvenienced, and then decided to try out Godot again for the first time since 2018 instead. Already quite impressed with how many templates there are out there nowadays.

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?

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

Reading through N64 magazine circa 2001 (thanks @outofprintarchive ) and came across a Treasure game I've never heard of... Sin and Punishment? Time for a bit of Saturday night vidya then.

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!
