For the Global Game Jam I did the simplest thing you can imagine: a Game&Watch inspired game. Even then, it took to much time to finish. Big respect to old school programmers, they did incredible things with extremely limited hardware.

I remember when you only needed a screwdriver to assemble an IKEA piece of furniture. Now you need half a carpenter’s workshop.

Recorde quan només necessitaves un tornavís per muntar un moble d'IKEA. Ara necessites mig taller de fuster.
First page of an IKEA assembly manual showing the required equipment: a Phillips screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, a stitching awl, a spirit level, a pencil, a hammer, a bar clamp, a measuring tape, a drill, and a 5mm drill bit. Page of the IKEA assembly manual where it shows how to use the drill and the bar clamps to drill some holes in IKEA furniture doors Detail of the illustration with the bar clamps and some pieces of wood

New year new book: “The game needs to change: Towards sustainable game design”, edited by, among others, @trevinyork.bsky.social, and published in 2026. It looks very interesting!

Here with Asbjørn @mytino.bsky.social at their booth at Spillexpo. They are developing a very interesting game called “Fractala Sandbox”, based on particle physics. As far as I remember, it’s done in their own engine in C++, based on SDL, and the physics run on the GPU. Impressive!
