How Yaya Builds a ‘Hearts‑Like’ While Working Full‑Time in Games
Indie dev Yaya is building Luminous Nights, a Kingdom Hearts-inspired “hearts-like,” while still working full-time in the game industry. In this deep-dive conversation, he explains how he controls scope, leans on YouTube devlogs and niche fandoms to drive wishlists, and keeps moving with “no 0% days” and 4 a.m. starts. He also shares why he’s diversifying with courses and asset packs instead of betting everything on one game—and how Tokyo’s indie scene keeps him going.

See Like an AI: Web App Visualizes Pixels, Kernels, and Edges
A new interactive web app by Marco Franzon turns computer vision theory into something you can literally watch in action. Upload an image or video, inspect its pixel matrix in multiple formats, and apply Sobel edge detection, Gaussian blur, or Sharpen kernels in real time. The demo makes concepts like tensors, convolution, and gradient computation visually obvious, laying the groundwork for deeper OpenCV and CNN learning. Franzon aims to use it in his course and plans to open-source the project.
