We have discord now! https://discord.gg/vS4vqVkKMm Test Digicity: City Builder: https://testflight.apple.com/join/ueaq8JD1
Performative declarations and zero-sum mindsets don't solve real systemic problems—whether in global trade or software architecture. In this episode, we examine the friction between surface-level optics and functional systems, starting with political performativity before diving deep into hands-on game development.
Follow along as we break down the process of building an indie city-builder coded from a blank text editor without relying on commercial engines. We explore the architectural decisions behind modeling real-world anti-forces—like air, water, and sound pollution—and discuss the engineering friction of replacing legacy infrastructure as cities transition across technological eras.
We take a firm stance against the pervasive trapware dominating modern app stores. By rejecting ad-driven engagement tricks in favor of a clean, pay-once model, software can prioritize therapeutic, open-ended creativity over psychological manipulation.
