... deploy it to Google Play. It worked. Phase 3: The GameDev Trap (Early 2026) With the blackouts over, I got overly ambitious. I wanted to build a game and get a publisher. I spent months engine-hopping from Unreal Engine (blueprints broke my brain) to Unity, to s&box. I was burning out fast. I realized that building a complex game purely relying on AI as a solo dev is a fast track to madness. I needed to pivot ...

... everyone! We're building ShintTools deterministic AI tooling that automates the tedious, error-prone technical work inside Unreal Engine 5 and Unity 6 pipelines. If you've shipped a game, you know the pain: naming conventions drift, LODs get misconfigured, code reviews miss the same engine-specific mistakes over and over, and performance regressions sneak in until QA catches them. ShintTools catches all of that automatically, and deterministically not an LLM that guesses, but a trained engine with ~400 real ...

... steps that used to require jumping tools entirely, so a rough, testable version of your game loop can be assembled once, reviewed as a whole, and only then translated into actual production work in your engine of choice. One Unreal Engine developer already using Aviquill for exactly this described mapping quests, level connections, and system interactions in one canvas before ever opening the engine, specifically to catch design problems earlier and cheaper than discovering them mid-production. That ...

... Aviquill's new level design tool lets you block out rooms, paths, and layouts before touching Unreal or Unity. It's early, but already makes prototyping way faster and less painful. Built for game devs who want a simple space to plan gameplay flow. I'm also planning to expand this into a full 3D level editor later on, something lightweight, engine style, and made for quick iteration. It'll take time, but the goal is to let you sketch ...

... studio-grade pipeline. So alongside the app, we built a native Blender plugin. You drop our .mimic file into Blender, and with one click, our plugin parses the physics data and flawlessly retargets it to a Mixamo or Unreal Engine 5 skeleton .This isn't just an app anymore; it s an end-to-end studio in your pocket. We are taking the heavy, expensive infrastructure of Hollywood mocap and compressing it into a free, ad-supported toolkit for anyone ...

... brought the world to a standstill for a moment. There was no cellular connection, no internet nothing. People started going for walks, and you could see them sitting on benches reading books. It was beautiful to see and felt unreal at the same time. Comment from Christian King(@chris_fluentime): @yumi_joh  That's what we bought right after that event! :) Comment from Anurag sarkar(@angsak6): door - to - door sales / read good books Comment from Yumi Joh(@yumi ... ... void, it will get filled and maybe by something far more nefarious - I believe in the government sentiment, but I am gobsmacked at the solution - I fear it will backfire - kids are not stupid and they will find an alternative

... into launch and honestly didn't expect this. 15-20 signups an hour, engineers actually putting Revolte on real codebases, and a comment section full of the exact questions we hoped people would ask. The momentum today has been unreal. The problem we're solving is the one every engineering team knows too well: writing code was never the bottleneck. It's everything around it, environments, tests, deploys, incidents. That's the work Revolte takes off your plate, and engineers ...

Now we re focusing on: Multi-language onboarding Better localization Faster performance globally AI-driven privacy insights Making privacy protection feel effortless Still early in the journey, but seeing international adoption as an indie developer feels unreal. Appreciate every single user supporting StealthHound ...

... eigenst ndige Pr senz wirken kann, ist https://der-arkadenhof.at/ . Comment from YekSoon Lok(@ys_askodin): Having operated on both sides of the table as an allocator and a founder, I view this through a different lens. The binary of "personal brand vs. product" is a distraction. The actual prerequisite is Thesis and Positioning . At askOdin, before we wrote a single line of code for our Deterministic Compiler, we established the exact taxonomy of the market. We identified that the last mile ... ... there's probably nothing more efficient than a founder led audience. You're borrowing trust you haven't earned yet as a brand, and that shortcut can be the difference between getting your first 100 users in a week versus

He s obsessed with making your memories look unreal but still real (No Generative AI involved!). Expect better filters, better output, better everything. We re calling him Head of Output Memories. Ha. We d love to bring collaborative rolls to life. Since Roll doesn t store your content ...

Just remembering that was how things were is so off-putting, it's unreal. But I'm glad to hear people feel things have changed. Even if it's not necessarily empirical. Comment from vishal(@vishal7017): @rawoyemi Yeah that you support me I support you loop still exists to some extent ...

... snapiq.app I finally launched my first app, and honestly it still feels a little unreal. It s called snapiq snapiq.app , and I built it to make scanning receipts and invoices a lot easier by pulling out the important details and keeping everything organized in one place. Building it was a huge learning experience for me. There were a lot of moments where I felt lost, had to figure things out as I went, and questioned whether I d actually ...

... missed one important thing. Our whole team is in one timezone . If you look at the Product of the Day race, it s basically a 24-hour marathon . If the same people handle it the entire time, competitors with better timezone coverage can move ahead in just a few hours. Right now we re #2 and pushing for #1 , so we re still very much in the race. That s basically how I look right now after 13+ hours ... ... preparing to launch something soon? Comment from Kristina Grits(@kristina__grits): @olia_nemirovski   @byalexai  Yes, in our case, even an initial gap of ~40 50 upvotes after the first 4 hours was already hard to overcome. The competitor

... feel like cardboard cutouts. The math gatekeeping was real. Then I discovered something that made me angry: the tools had evolved, but the learning resources hadn't. Unity ML-Agents lets you train reinforcement learning agents with visual tools. Unreal behavior trees are drag-and-drop. The complexity is already abstracted away. But every course still teaches like you're becoming an AI researcher instead of a game developer who wants to ship things. So I teamed up with some ... ... experts and built what I needed two years ago. AI Powered Game Dev For Beginners What's inside: Train NPCs that learn from player behavior (no, really they adapt) Build intelligent worlds with procedural AI systems Unity ML-Agents, Unreal

... games since forever. Every tutorial? "Let's start with linear algebra and gradient descent." I'm not a math person. I quit three times over two years. Then I discovered something: modern game engines (Unity, Unreal) have AI tools that hide the complexity. You can train an NPC to learn from player behavior without writing a single line of calculus. Nobody told me that. Every course assumed I wanted to become an AI researcher. So I built what I wished ... ... actually is: No PhD required. Zero "let's derive backpropagation" energy. You build NPCs that learn, train reinforcement agents, make worlds that react 50+ hours of "watch me fail so you don't have to" content Unity ML-Agents, Unreal

... empowering some of the top companies of the world with their logos, even though they would probably have had an introductory call or just sent an email to that company. The world is filled with real and unreal information. Comment from Arpan Garg(@arpansac): The last point says it all. Once you lose trust, it's very hard to earn it back, so the answer would be no :) Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @jake_friedberg  I just wanted ...

... insane From discovering awesome products (built by SF legends) to actually launching 2 products myself and winning 2x product of the month awards a golden kitty with @Clustr and now being nominated for an orbit award with @Trace feels unreal.

... late reply this week turned into one of those weeks where life kept happening faster than my email promotions notification inbox lol. Thank you so much! 970 downloads in a day for us honestly still felt a bit unreal, but you re absolutely right calm, stable days are underrated wins.
