Devlog: More Efficient Development Process
🕑 Added 2025-06-06 13:06:42 +0000 UTCI've just finished the first custom S.I.M.S. you can purchase in EroSphere, and I will spend the rest of the week and most of Monday fixing reported bugs and adding new main-story content.
Now that the main pillars of MindWare are largely in place and I'm simply building on them, I've been prioritizing the optimization of my development process far more than before.
I was getting really tired of wasting too much time on repetitive tasks like media conversions, since I relied on a messy collection of custom scripts and terminal commands. So I dedicated some time to an AI-vibe coding session and created a convenient graphical media-preparation tool tailored to my needs.
The tool actually took much less time to create than I expected. That's partly because the latest AI models like Claude Opus and Google Gemini 2.5 Pro are crazy good, but also because I had all those custom scripts to use as examples.
While there's still some optimization to be done before the tool is perfect, it's already helping me create more content in the same amount of time.
Anyway, that's all from me today. As I explained in a previous post, I've decided to release updates on Mondays so that I can promptly address any issues they may create (I typically don't spend much time on the computer during weekends, so my eyes and mind can rest at least a bit).

I thought about making it publicly available, but decided against it since anyone can create something similar with a couple of prompts. Something like "create a web-based tool for media conversions based on ffmpeg and ImageMagick that I can run locally on my computer using Node.js" will get you like 80% there, and the rest are details that can be tweaked with subsequent prompts.

Simplifying development is always good, the main thing is that it does not reduce quality. Want to release the tool open source, maybe github?
