Week Notes 2025-41
Published -π Notes
I've been writing, I got a fairly good start on a game development series I'm working on. I want to get a few more posts in the bag before I start putting them out because I'm worried I'll get bored and not keep up with it. I might ask a friend to Peer Review them before I do publish. Just to see if I've pitched them right and if the code is any good.
Thinking about it, I want to find my people. I like reading the personal blogs I have in my feed reader, but I want to find blogs by game developers. I want to see tutorials and works in progress. If you have such a blog I don't care what you're building in or what framework you are using but I do want to see what you are doing.
The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Games from Scratch and even his normal beat is a little too industry news for my liking. I'm not interested in how to market games or how to get wishlists, and frankly I have no interest in influencers playing games. I like making games, like Eniko Fox and her Block Game but I'm mostly focused on 2D MonoGame in Linux and Rider is my editor of choice. But I'd still like to see what you're making.
