It's never too late to learn Game AI! 🦾🤖 Over the past year I created an online course that teaches classical AI in to modern videogames, covering everything you need to know from Behaviour Trees to Neural Networks. 🧠 (free trial link below 🧵👇) youtube.com/watch?v=qED1YB…

Good idea: Tell your discord you're working on game again after four years of radio silence. Bad idea: Do this yesterday, on Apr 1st. D'oh! Anyway, expect to see more Cadence updates here... or hop on discord for marginally more frequent news: discord.gg/kp9W9Qr

Another unexpected use for AI: What colour is this random hex code? No guarantees it's right, but it's probably more accurate than my colour blind arse...

Cadence is a minimalist zen game about solving circuits to generate music. To find out what that means, there's a brand new Steam demo available as part of the #CerebralPuzzleShowcase by Cerebral Puzzle Showcase (May 29 - Jun 5 2025) store.steampowered.com/app/362800/Cad…

An e.g. of how mad gamedev in 2025 is: Great, look at this niche games festival full of my prospective audience... ...with 477 niche games. That's more than the entire number of games that launched on Steam in the 2013, the year I started working on Cadence. 🪦

This is the most conceptually challenging tile in Cadence. Have been musing for years if I should even build it, and how on earth to telegraph it to users. Fitting the last piece of content is my best work to date - really happy with the polish here.

Localising Cadence made me understand I was influenced by the East more than I consciously realised... But also it's getting real close now!

What a pleasant surprise to see this launch out of nowhere. Remember the Kickstarter from over a decade ago and was so sad when it didn’t get funded. But this looks fantastic and I can’t wait to give it a go, awesome work Peter Cardwell-Gardner 🥳

It's been a bit bizarre and frustrating securing coverage for Cadence, but then you discover that small creator has made an absolute gem of a review and it puts a smile on your face! youtube.com/watch?v=Z1tj7d…
