Since shipping my indie puzzle game Way of Rhea last year I’ve been hard at work on game two, but I haven’t been writing as much as I’d like.

I’m writing a new game engine in #Zig, and I’m open sourcing each module as I write it. Today I released the beta version of my entity component system ZCS, I’ll consider it a beta until I’ve shipped my next Steam game using it. #gamedev #indiedev gamesbymason.com/blog/2025/zcs/

P.S. I am on bl*sky if you want to follow me there. But honestly? I think social media is bad for us and RSS/newsletters are the way to go. I mirror everything to these sites without reading them, and add accounts I want updates from to my RSS reader. bsky.app/profile/masonr…

📅 May Links I'm doing a new thing where I share my favorite links at the end of each month on my site, you can read May's links here. #gamedev #indiedev gamesbymason.com/devlog/2025/#m…

🎂 Also, this May marks Way of Rhea's 1 year birthday! To celebrate, I released the original sound track, added an infinite mode patch, and put the game on sale for 50% off in the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase (May 29 - Jun 5 2025)! store.steampowered.com/app/1110620/Wa… #gamedev #indiedev

As part of my shader library, I've been playing with Voronoi Noise and Voronoi Diagrams. #gamedev #indiedev #shaders

Voronoi noise is really fun, and surprisingly versatile. #gamedev #indiedev #shaders

There’s a problem if you want to use this to draw colored cells though. There’s no antialiasing! #gamedev #indiedev #shaders

I came up with an analytical way to antialias Voronoi Diagrams and wrote it up here: gamesbymason.com/devlog/2025/#v… #gamedev #indiedev #shaders

While I have you, here are some more cool Voronoi patterns: #gamedev #indiedev #shaders
