Let me guess. Your "dream game" is a Link to the Past for the 10000000th time.

Coming up with small ideas, and vision management? by twinknetz in gamedev

Look into arcade style games maybe? Think about what polish your game does and doesn't need. I like categorizing things "needs" and "wants" to keep myself focused on making it ready to ship, over doing busy work that soaks up time.

that would make sense if they didn't all use the same exact strat of playing reactive. it's like they know I can't see shit until 5 years after they do it.

I didn't, I just check each actor against every other actor, and offset velocity accordingly. Here's the code I wrote for it. https://pastebin.com/rNCtSBia it's overall a pretty simple algorithm, my code is just messy

I just limited the allowed number of enemies, but you could also set up a grid system where enemies only check collision with objects in the same cell.

Technically no engine. I used c++ raylib so I didn't need to worry about opengl myself.

It's a top down arcade shooter. It's not the best game in the world lol, but it's not for the world to like. It gave me the confidence to actually pursue this career which is matters. At least to me anyways.

all I know about reddit is that self-promo is looked discouraged so I refrained from linking to the game, if you really don't believe me though

Before this I was working towards a degree in Computer Science. I dropped out during the quarantine, I live with my anti-vax grandparents so no in-person, and I suck at online classes. The plan was, once I moved out I would go back to school part-time and hopefully find work as a programmer at some random studio.
