Vehicle physics finally working! Still a lot to do before releasing it, but driving around is already quite fun :)
This also paves the way for more physics-based mechanics coming to #CosmosJourneyer.

Now that the dust has begun to settle, are these AI agents actually taking our jerbs? 🤔 Or did the tech monopolies just use it as an excuse to downsize and ship worse products? 😠

Bit of a slap in the face to have to pay for an apple dev account when they already have a monopoly on the app store... 😔

I'm beginning to suspect that a key skill in working effectively with coding agents is developing an intuition for when you don't need to closely review every line of code they produce. This feels deeply uncomfortable!

My thesis for lostness vs fun in #gamedev. Silksong and Animal Well spend most of their time in "where tf am I (good)", but it's a very risky game. Rain World was great, but it did nudge me into "where tf am I (bad)" a little too often for my taste.

Tell me any of this is wrong
