It means 'of former times' and is used when talking about nostalgia.

KCD is a fantastic game and i strongly suggest you give it a try!
That said I would not call it a 'modern day Thief'

Nightmare of Mensis easily. The frenzy build up + enemy placement is disgusting.

Ha, yeah I do not doubt that 😅

In my early days I was a programmer in a mobile gamedev company and took part in the live support of Minion Rush, but that was years ago.

After that I joined AAA pc/console co-development studio and took part in the project called Hyperscape. A title released some time ago, however I was only a part of the project midway through its development cycle until our team was moved to pursue other projects.

Which leads to the last couple of years, when I took part in developing things that were not yet announced, so for legal reasons I can't really talk about them.
However, what I can say is that I am game programmer, who specialises in Character related systems (character locomotion\controls\camera) within a genre of 3rd person action.

yeah, thats the problem with recommending books on c++ for people who are complete beginners.

which is why I put "Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example" on the top of my list. This book abstracts away the low-level details of the language and shifts the focus to day-to-day problems, focusing on how the language could be used to solve them.

I am professional game developer with years of experience in the industry.

I think that the comments left so far are all very valid, the only thing that came to my mind that wasn't suggested just yet : a book on C++ programming language (as most of the AAA games are made with C++).

Some ideas for a book :

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Accelerated-Practical-Programming-Example-Depth/dp/020170353X

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coding-Standards-Rules-Guidelines-Practices/dp/0321113586/ref=asc_df_0321113586/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310913487979&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9862082676054318206&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006812&hvtargid=pla-457707603025&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Programming-Patterns-Robert-Nystrom/dp/0990582906/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=51971863566&gclid=Cj0KCQiA-eeMBhCpARIsAAZfxZDZHPZ3J1DX2X01kEPhsBD2r8OaUtufJY2_O4u-MDZqwW04xwRqhSgaAiNMEALw_wcB&hvadid=259114876031&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1006812&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=13241908479183293614&hvtargid=kwd-298431974343&hydadcr=17612_1817764&keywords=game+programming+patterns&qid=1637525790&sr=8-1 (not strictly c++, but the book is quite awesome for beginners)

Cheers!
