- DMD 'Ware - polyfrag is pondering over a lot of details that need to go into a city builder based around an economy sim - you can't just plop a building like SimCity. Construction costs, transportation for supplies, contractors, wages....
- Undergroundies Projects - Undergroundies has announced that the latest version of The Underlings is up for free download, and also has a video intro to the game

Game Dev Stuffs
- Journal of Aardvajk - Aardvajk shows his implementation of "a typesafe signal/slot system ... using varadic templates" and some of the things that you can apply this to
- Infinity Elephant Development Journal - Plethora knows the scope of the project is probably too big, but given that it hasn't affected the drive to complete the project eventually, does it really matter? How big is too big? That's a balance each developer must attain, Plethora argues
- Ramblings of a partialy sane programmer - blewisjr is musing about IDE's having bad editors and editors lacking most of the benefits from an IDE. Basically you can have a great overall build environment but rely a lot on the interface to edit code, or have a great way to edit code but lack a good build interface.
- Gamieon's Journal - Gamieon has already developed Hamster Chase for iOS and Android, so he figured getting it deployed to Windows Phone would be a breeze. Nope. He explains why
- slayemin's Journal - slayemin is starting up his indie studio, with paid employees and an office - all on his own dime. This takes guts, and good planning. He talks about why he decided to go this route
- Too idiot to make it, too idiot to quit - desdemian shows off his sketchbook that he uses to doodle things for both artwork and programming. Are you doodling too? Show off your stuff in the comments
