Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Triworld devlog. Editor Done I’m mostly done working on the Editor. Here are a few models I made with it: My artistic skills need some work, but at least the Editor works perfectly. I’m a bit behind schedule because I tried to write my own Immediate Mode UI library. This is how the Editor looked: ...
Author Marie Kondo Genres Self Help Rating 💖💖💖💖💖 Date Finished 24/08/2024 🚀 The Book in 3 Sentences Start by discarding by category. Then organize. Organization gives the illusion that the clutter problem has been solved. Tidying is not the goal. Tidying is a special event. Don’t do it every day. 🎨 Impressions I love this book. I think “The life-changing magic of tidying up” and “Goodbye, Things: On Minimalist Living” are the only books on minimalism worth reading (from a practical point). ...
Author Jason Schreier Genres Business Rating 💖💖💖💖🖤 Date Finished ~2024 🎨 Impressions The book contains a few stories about indie game developer and a few stories about big game studios.

Author Sönke Ahrens Genres Productivity Rating 💖💖💖💖🖤 Date Finished ~07/024 🎨 Impressions This review is shorter than usual because I think that I’m not the right target for this book. People who write a lot (and thus read a lot for research and reference) will benefit much more from implementing it’s contents. I was able to benefit from some of the techniques nonetheless. How I Discovered It Can’t remember. ...
Author David Kushner Genres History Rating 💖💖💖💖🖤 Date Finished ~07/2024 🎨 Impressions This review is shorter than usual because this is not the kind of books I usually read, and I don’t have anything worth saying. As a reader I don’t have any positive or negative to say about the book (being that it’s just a recollection of historical facts). But as an aspiring Indie Game Developer I think there is value in knowing how games were made in the old days and how their development evolved through the years. If you are in the same situation as me it might be an interesting read (also Blood, Sweat, and Pixels), otherwise you can skip it. ...
Author David Allen Genres Self Help, Productivity Rating 💖💖💖💖💖 Date Finished 15/07/2024 🚀 The Book in 3 Sentences Focus on what to do next and don’t think about the rest. What’s the next action? Make it up and make it happen 🎨 Impressions I think it’s a good book that collates all the emergent productivity hacks each one of use uses, but it merges them into a coherent system. The system in itself is very simple and could be explained in a few pages, so I think the book could have been at least 50 pages shorter especially considering that the people who need it the most might not find the time to read all of it. ...
Hi everyone. Welcome to the first Triworld devlog. I’ve decided to collate all my side projects (toy renderers and engines) into a single one that I’m calling Triworld, a voxel adventure game inspired by Terraria, Cube World, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Minecraft. For the past 3 months and for the next few months I’ll be working on a simple editor that will be used to create and manage voxel “sprites” and palettes. Here’s a quick preview of the editor. ...

The book talks about: 55+12 rules to more easily become a minimalist; the personal experience of the author and some of the philosopy behind minimalism. So you will find helpful lessons and tips that you can apply to your Minimalist journey paired with decluttering wisdom of the author. ...
Author Daniel Coyle Genres Self Help Rating 💖💖💖💖🖤 Date Finished 12/01/2024 🚀 The Book in 3 Sentences There are no prodigies. Only cultivated talent and practice. Practice with intention (slow down, exagerate moves, introduce challenges). Hard Skills (kicking a ball) vs Soft Skills (reading the field). 🎨 Impressions A bit too short. Some chapters could have benefited from a few more words. How I Discovered It I had it in my TODOs for a while, I don’t remember. ...
