Sqowopz // cutting deeper
RubbleVox got a GDExtension and loads instantly now. Rubble the project is gone. Overmass is stripped to a mech on a flat. The Red Faction Guerrilla with mechs pitch is officially the wrong target.
SQOWOPZ // DEVLOG v0.1
Development Log.
Honestly, no idea what I'm doing. Posting them anyway.

-
Sqowopz // scope creep is real
AI made adding features cheap. That made deciding what the game is the only expensive part. BDL and Overmass are locked at scope; Overmass gets the polish from here.
-
RubbleVox // out the door
RubbleVox got the rewind layer ported from RubbleRewind, then walked off the in-development grid. It ships as RubbleVoxRewind on the released page, heavier than its sibling but done.
-
RubbleRewind // do it anyway
Rubble's instant refresh had a one-frame seam. The AI said don't bother. I built RubbleRewind anyway: a snapshot-buffer rewind layer that ships as a tech demo and stays out of the actual game.
-
Overmass // stage tweak
Stage 1 reskinned from city to desert. Stage 2 picked up a jungle. Why the swap, what it changes for combat, and what is broken about both.
-
RubbleVox // voxels were supposed to be faster
Rubble's pre-destruction logic mirrored to RubbleVox in under an hour. Then asked AI why Teardown's voxels look unique. Answer: custom C++ engine by Tuxedo Labs in Malmo, architectural work no LLM can shortcut. First hard ceiling on the purely-prompted approach.
-
Rubble // pre-destroyed is a state
Pre-destruction state for buildings, baked into the voronoi pass. Tweaked in Rubble, mirrored to Overmass without a separate brief. Wave one no longer looks like move-in day.
-
Sqowopz // how this started
How some guy with no code background ended up building games in Godot. AI as the missing teammate, scope creep as the architect. The first Sqowopz devlog.
