Continuing to make fantastic progress on Breaka Club, where we teach kids to code, be creative and make games: https://breaka.club/blog/why-were-building-clubs-for-kids The recent Netflix Games edition of Overcooked with K-Pop Demon Hunters is cool, but not nearly as cool as kids coding and playing their way through Overcooked levels in our custom educational mod for Overcooked: https://youtu.be/ITWSL5lTLig I'm also maintaining GodotJS, strongly typed TypeScript bindings for Godot, which is used to build the Breaka Club RPG (see first link): https://github.com/godotjs/GodotJS And last week I also put together the first release of MoonSharp in ~10 years; Lua runtime for Unity. That's not for Breaka Club though, I also consult for Berserk Games on Tabletop Simulator: https://github.com/moonsharp-devs/moonsharp/releases
In Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
Somewhat coincidentally, MoonSharp (the scripting engine Moongate based their Lua runtime on) is alive and kicking again. There hasn't been a release in ~10 years, but I published a beta for v3.0.0 a few days ago. https://github.com/moonsharp-devs/moonsharp/releases I'm not the creator of MoonSharp, just a maintainer on Github (who has honestly done very little). However, I consult for Berserk Games, and we have use MoonSharp as the scripting runtime for Tabletop Simulator.
