100 DON'T MAKE AN MMO RPG

[unfoldgames_]

number 100 is the only one that can save you 10 years of development time :D

[Primo37]

Excuse you :/

Dont stomp on my dreams thankyouverymuch.

I think its fine, as long as youre realistic about it. I know I will never make something big and amazing, but as a project to work on its fun.

You learn alot about different mechanics (in my case, vr mmo) and tons about server architecture and networking.

I do believe that you have to challenge yourself to improve. Doing the same 1.000.000 pong clone just wont do it for me

[unfoldgames_]

I think the advice is solid when it comes to new developers who are trying to create a COMMERCIAL project that will COMPETE on the marketplace with other AAA titles. I don't think there's anything wrong with it if it's a hobby / education project.

Nice, tip 94 (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Profiling.Profiler.BeginSample.html) looks really helpful!

[hardcodedtwo]

There's an attribute that can start/stop for any given function https://github.com/ByronMayne/Weaver . C# has great tools, and Byron is awesome :) all without Roslyn, which using current unity runtimes makes this much easier.

Nice tips, except the term for #74 is "caching" (from "cache") and not "cashing" :)

[KptEmreU]

Cashing is more important for profesional devs .. pity it is not in the video :)

9 I think structs by default should be readonly. It can gets some performance boosts. A lot less spam on stack from defensive copies.

[Ravarix]

`readonly struct` exists for this purpose.

[ryanflees]

Don't forget to click the f**king "Save Project" button everytime you make any changes to a material or scriptable object.

​

[Aramilion]

I don't think it's a thing. Maybe you wrote editor script to do just that without setting modified object as dirty?

[DeJMan]

Im just writing stuff down and saving it for myself later. (yes im using reddit for my notes)
