indiehackertycoon.com is out!!
If you like career/life sim games (think BitLife x Game Dev Tycoon), you will love this!
crew member @dviolite just shipped Indie Hacker Tycoon 🚢
shipped 2 days away from certain death
feedback from the crew — the captains reviewed it:
"this is sick, captain. The BitLife meets Game Dev Tycoon framing lands fast, just make the free-to-start plus Pro unlock clearer beside the first CTA and drop a few more actual gameplay shots on the page."

Every time Google comes out with a new model it crushes every other model on every single benchmark and I know basically zero people who regularly use Gemini
Did Gemini just.. beat Opus?
Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago.
Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.

There is no excuse for your AI game to be slop anymore.
I may have cracked how to animate non humanoid assets with AI! H3 Max generates a video from front and side then we use a finetuned DINOv2 model to track joints! The vid explains the whole process

Kazakhastan is serious about becoming a digital and nomad hub.. might start hearing a lot more about this in Indie Hacking circles in a year, maybe earlier

Epic Game trying to snatch a meaningful share of Steam’s customers
Replying to @TimSweeneyEpic @Filmbot
There is a real economic cost to Valve’s foray into forced political disclosures. Besides taking 30%, they’re also taking a potentially even larger fraction of developers’ revenue and livelihood by undermining their business with these AI hate campaigns.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Steam requires disclosure of generative AI for player-consumed content via its standard Content Survey (alongside ratings), shown on store pages for transparency, not as political statements. Steam's base 30% revenue share matches major console platforms.

Steam wasn’t built to handle the era of vibe coded games.
It is going to be a golden age for game devs, I truly believe that, but Steam will have to make big changes. The $100 fee is clearly not enough of a discouragement to slop factories.

I did it with Until Then, fixed 5 bugs on the way, and wrote a copy-paste prompt so you can try it on your game:
