    Creating a Monster Collector Game with Farming Elements

    A solo developer shares his journey creating Bloomies, a desktop monster collector game with farming mechanics that runs on the Windows taskbar. The game combines Pokémon-style collecting with Harvest Moon farming, where players plant seeds that grow into monster eggs. Built with Godot engine using a custom resource system for flexibility, the game features automatic battles, world bosses, decoration systems, and automation skills. The developer emphasizes keeping scope manageable, using a Kanban board for tracking progress, and following three simple design rules to make every creature cute. Currently in closed playtesting with positive feedback.

    The Slop Apocalypse: How AI is Breaking Game Engines

    AI-generated code contributions are overwhelming Godot's open-source maintainers with low-quality pull requests, draining their capacity and morale. Meanwhile, Unity's CEO is making bold AI announcements—promising to generate full casual games from natural language prompts—largely to prop up a stock that dropped from $43 to $18 after Google's Genie 3 demo spooked investors. The author argues Unity's announced AI features already exist in the engine, the announcements are stock-market theater, and that Genie 3 is an impressive interactive video system but not a real game engine. The broader point: AI is disrupting game engines from two opposite directions—flooding open-source projects with slop contributions while pushing public companies into AI hype cycles.
