Whoa, nice!

There's a huge misconception that you desperately need to be posted by several indie channels. If not, the whole thing is just doomed. Honestly, build up yourself first since indie channels will most likely remain silent.

Morning, chat!

#meme@GameDEV

I know you never thought admin would post such a dirty content, but here we are...

Who would've guessed!

LOL, GTA V in the browser is up again (a vibe-coded recompilation of the game running via WASM). That's not a video streaming, it runs in your CPU and GPU locally.

Shadows are buggy
Transparent objects are buggy
Occlusion culling code is messed up
Settings can't be applied

Overall: playable to fool around

Just added 500 games to ignore list, the whole next fest is piss filter AI slop this time. 8000+ games are on it and the vast majority of them are fouked up...

And VALVE SHOWING THESE GAMES IN NEXT FEST PROMO VIDEO, they are also not giving any switches to hide these games.

Ignore on Steam is a Boolean switch that is not re-rendered on the same page. And if you ignored the same game even number of times, you actually lifted its ignore status.

The more you know!
(about Valve coding skills)

⭐ And to oppose that I'll share some GOOD stuff from the Next Fest:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3059410/Edenfall_Legacy_of_the_first_Wardens_Demo/ — Open-world shape-shifter exploration game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4731190/Foxy_Dumplings_Demo/ — a nice cooking sim, you're a fox, it's a bit tycoon and has tons of quick QTEs.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4475750/GRIP_2_Combat_Racing_Evolved/ — racing on RC-like cars, armed with weapons (as pick-ups) and driving at 700kph. I'm a fan of the original game and this one is a good step forward.

PLEASE, SHARE YOUR FINDINGS!

170 paid games released today on Steam. 80 used AI disclosure. 60/80 have 0 players.

LOL 😏
$100 well spent!

Previews are still not working for YouTube but you can drop a comment of support here:

Among proposed in the chat this one caught my eye clearly: retro stealth action and you have a PSP as your smart device in the game!

Also I rage on Twitter about the fest:

And the opposite side of madness: blame everyone they are AI... the team spent quite a few bucks upfront to make its stories voiced by a professional actor Jp Wright.

Still blamed blatantly: no context, just "you're AI". What a shame 😠

Same vibes! (via)

Okay, I found a better case: it FEELS vibe coded...

Suffer, ahaha

There are so extreme PHP vulnerabilities discovered yesterday that government websites and corporations take their infrastructure offline. If you have a website, check and upgrade.

CVE-2026-109618 & CVE-2026-109619 (known as "php2shell") are reported Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities in PHP that could let attackers run their own code on affected servers.

Both vulnerabilities reportedly affects every PHP version from PHP 5 onward.

PHP has now published fixes, and they should be applied as soon as possible.

Update to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, or 8.2.35 mediate this vulnerability. Patches have not been made available for PHP 5 or 7.
