Lucy's Direct3D 12 Renderer - Devlog #1
I’ve been working on Direct3D 12 for over half a year and I thought it was about time to write about what I’ve learned. Here’s some cool stuff I’ve learned in the process. But before that, an overview:

What is this project about?
It just started as me trying to learn Direct3D 12 (DX12 for short). The goal is not d...
Final Fantasy 16's combat is bad, actually
I’ve seen people praise the combat of this game, so I had to speak up. I’ve even seen people who didn’t like the game overall say that the combat is “solid” and the strongest aspect of the game. I disagree.
This game is a mixed bag. Even after starting to play it months ago, having beaten it, plus the DLC (I regret buying that), and having play...
I made an Odin formatter
Link to source
I made a very minimalist Odin formatter for myself. I have tried odinfmt in the past. I have nothing against it, but I prefer something that leaves the code more as it is. I like it when the formatter lets me add newlines to anything, and doesn’t ever introduce newlines. That’s a big one for me.
So, lucyfmt’s killer features are...
The Anti-AI bro Problem
I brushed on the topic of “AI bros” on my last article. Basically, there’s a huge group of people online that do the following:
Make huge misrepresentations of the power of current AI tools, and what this tech is inherently.
Make wild assumptions about the future of the technology.
The implied utter disrespect towards Art, engineering, a...
Agentic Coding - It's not that simple.
I’ve been using Claude Code extensively at work and for little experiments on my own time. I’m here to reflect on my experiences.
My opinions on Agentic Coding are wildly fluctuating still, but these are my thoughts right now, at least.
We’ve been using Claude Code for about a month to make Unity games. The idea was to let the model do all the...
Hostile Metroidvania design — How Nine Sols wants you to get lost
Cute little guy
I’ve been playing Nine Sols for about 13 hours and I think I won’t go back to it now.
For an overview of the game: It’s a decent metroidvania game with great hand-drawn visuals and a unique setting. They call it “Taopunk”, it’s quite interesting and original.
Apart from the visuals and setting, the game doesn’t stray too far f...
LucyNES - I made an emulator in Odin!
I added a new entry to my showcase page! Here it is! It’s about my experience making a NES emulator in Odin. You can read all about it there.
Now, I’m learning a bit about Godot and 3D character animations; so I can maybe make something cool with them
Game Dev Update - Getting into Godot!
I’m going to document a bit about what I’ve been doing since releasing Psycho Box.
After Psycho Box, and even while making Psycho Box, I kept wondering how faster I would be making games if I were using an engine, assuming I were good at using such engine.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m no stranger to game engines. I’ve tried a lot of them in the past...
