My solution is to involve my kids in all my projects. I am very lucky that I build games and often they are educational games where my kids are literally the target audience. No better education for the kids and you get a very natural organic quality time.

Great to see everyone's projects! I'm building Splorbit - a bullet heaven game with high enemy density and juicy ball physics. It's built enitrely with web tech so you can play it right now in your browser: https://splorbit.vercel.app/ I really want the good old days of web gaming to return. I can't tell you how frustrated I am with platforms like Steam and App Stores. They don't earn their 30% and discovery is utterly broken. My dream is to make experimental/cool/whatever web games and distribute directly to my audience on the web.

https://talkingtomachines.xyz/ Talking to Machines is an interactive AI course. Each concept be it agents or context window can be experienced and experimented with using fun little widgets designed to help you learn by doing. I've really tried to make the AI course I wish existed. Getting into as much nuance as possible and as much hands-on fun as possible. I would love some feedback.

mmm is the best My kids (9yo) love it too One of them made this https://masalagames.mmm.page/shaan

Not my lovely NFT at all. Imagine the retro game and emulation required to run it forever preserved in a standard format. That's what a concept like NFT SHOULD be addressing. I'm lamenting that it's not doing so.

jeez guys, please read before dumping on me :) I'm saying ideally, NFTs SHOULD prevent obsolescence of digital assets They don't. But if you think about it, it ought to be one of the primary purposes of a concept like NFT, right? That's all I'm saying. Sorry to use the trigger word :P

THIS is what NFTs should be designed to solve, instead of whatever it is they have actually become.

Detective Dotson is a game and a show! It has pixel characters placed in a realistic 3D depiction of modern India. Would love your feedback on our trailer!

I was a college student in India in 2001 being discouraged by my professors from seeking a graphics elective because "there's no career in graphics". 20 years later I can happily reflect on a dream career in graphics (EA, Pixar and my own game studio). The second edition of this book and its "make pretty pictures with a computer" message started it all off!

Blogging and side projects helped me land a job at Pixar! Many years later I wrote about it in an article- https://hackernoon.com/3-things-i-learned-from-5-jobs-in-12-... Blogging about how blogging helped me get a job got me the job I have now as CTO at Tonk Tonk Games :)

It's pretty main stream in the CG industry. Houdini is a great example of a very interesting take on visual programming in a non-destructive procedural workflow. Visual programming is a staple at Pixar and features heavily in all their internal tools for shading, animation, set dressing etc. At Pixar they push it to its limits, expressing all manners of development patterns through these tools to artists who don't know any software development at all. I often think of a modified version of your question which is "Why isn't visual programming a bigger thing for trained programmers?" What needs to improve for that to happen? It's already a big thing for visual artists in the CG industry.

best idea in this list!
