Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

I’m working on a new game. I’ve been trying to get back to the basics of the adventure genre. A fun and engaging story, choices, strategic combat and a simple, straightforward approach.

No microtransactions, no advertisements. No networking! The game is meant to function completely off line. The game will start with a mobile release in probably October and should be available on Steam shortly after.

I’ve been using Flame, Flutter’s game engine to develop my app. My artists are amazing and have been providing fully animated sprites using Spine. I’ve used Flutter before but this is my first time getting into Flame.

I've been passionate about superforecasting and AI for a long time, so decided to try and use LLMs to structure data about the world -- commodities, politics, etc. It's now a startup we're trying to get off the ground: https://emergingtrajectories.com/

Most of my days are spent reading the news and working on LLMs, which has been a blast. As an example, here's a dashboard that tracks major supply and demand shocks to various commodities around the world: https://emergingtrajectories.com/c/commodities

Happy site-maker-makin'... It is a most respectable yak shave. I had such a good time making mine a couple of years ago in Bash (https://github.com/adityaathalye/shite).

If Git/Github are interfering, just drop the folder in dropbox (or suchlike) and version control like it's 1990 (ssg_2, ssg_3, ... ssg_final_final :). Nobody can fire the officially retired developer for doing this in 2024.
