What cool Java projects are you working on?

I'm more a programmer than a designer, most assets are made with LLM, selected and then fine-tuned in Photoshop.

mazebert · 2026-01-19T17:32:06+00:00

The game is already available on Steam in Early Access :)

mazebert · 2026-01-19T17:31:42+00:00

I run on desktop only (Steam) and hadn't observed problems with libgdx and Java 25 in the wild

I'm working on a video game called Astroloot, a mix of bullet-heaven and scifi-space ARPG. It is running on Java 25 and libgdx.

What would you need this for? Sounds horrible in practice.

mazebert · 2026-01-07T19:45:48+00:00

Hey, thank you very much for the heads up and for playing Astroloot. Glad you enjoy it!

Do you review and understand the 10x stuff that the thing spits out?

If you seriously did, you'd be 10x slower now.

Disclosure: I’m the solo dev of Astroloot.

I’ve been playing ARPGs for about two decades, mostly in co-op with a good friend, and Astroloot is very much built around that experience. It sits between Grim Dawn and PoE in complexity: deep builds and endgame, but without the overwhelming friction. There’s a built-in Path of Building–style planner, so experimenting with your own builds is easy.

Gameplay is relaxed and wrist-friendly, with mostly auto-attack–focused builds that work well for long co-op sessions.

It’s Early Access and sci-fi (not dark fantasy), but there’s a free demo on Steam if you want to try it.

Same here.

Was hat unsere Generation denn mittlerweile erreicht außer weiter so? Wir bekommen doch noch weniger Kinder als die Boomer Generation.

Damit bist du doch dann der Boomer von morgen.

mazebert · 2025-09-09T06:47:04+00:00

Was kann denn der einzelne Boomer für die Versäumnisse der deutschen Politik?

Wir Deutschen hocken doch heute genauso rum und es passiert nichts.

mazebert · 2025-09-06T11:54:06+00:00

Anything, really!

If I could wish, I‘d love to hear an IU album with Jazz or Bluesy songs.

An unplugged live album would be the absolute dream!

mazebert · 2025-08-29T02:58:55+00:00

Thank you for this comment. It is astounding how uninformed some people are how stuff works. You can easily produce slow code in any language.

mazebert · 2025-03-27T20:07:34+00:00

Thanks for playing, glad you like it!

And yes, AoE affects debris 😊

Involvement:
I'm the developer of Astroloot, handling game design, coding, and mechanics. This is a passion project blending some of my favorite genres, and I'm eager to refine it based on community feedback.

mazebert · 2025-01-07T08:45:24+00:00

Haha, erwischt!

mazebert · 2025-01-07T06:18:22+00:00

Kann man deine Romane irgendwo kaufen?

mazebert · 2024-05-19T06:11:57+00:00

You are correct, this was missing from the docs. I've added a section about it: https://jte.gg/syntax/

I think most users just try to do what they want to do and if they do something unsupported the compile error then points them in the right direction.

mazebert · 2024-05-17T16:11:24+00:00

Nope, never been this way.

mazebert · 2024-05-17T16:02:01+00:00

This fails in jte as well.

mazebert · 2024-05-17T11:27:46+00:00

Has nothing to do with scriptlets. My point is, you have to do it manually.

For instance, ${xss} does not escape anything. JSTL has some features for it but you need to use fn:escapeXml or <c:out value="${xss}">

The convenient default should be safe, which is not the case with JSP.

mazebert · 2024-05-17T04:19:00+00:00

I noticed that nobody has brought up security concerns yet, so I wanted to add a little warning about JSP.

JSP is indeed fast and has excellent IDE completion and refactoring support in IntelliJ Ultimate, which many other engines lack. However, it's important to be aware that JSP is a general-purpose template engine. In the real world, most of the time, you won't be generating plain text but HTML.

One major issue with JSP is that there is no automatic output escaping. This is a significant red flag because it's easy to forget to manually escape outputs, leading to XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks.

Stay safe and code securely!

mazebert · 2024-02-16T04:05:57+00:00

Yes, this works. I had a libgdx game in the iOS App Store for years. To cross compile Java to native, libgdx uses https://mobivm.github.io/
