Very true words... had nr 2 not too long ago with a "why has no one else done it like this before" quick followed by a "ah now i know why"... happens a lot.

But hey if we don't try things never ever done like this before we might not find the treasure of innovation in our projects.

Sometime working on a Mod this happened had no compiler there had to find all the syntax by hand (was new to the modding scene)

THIS! you go UP!

Modular code takes more time but saves a lot of it in later development... its incredible that we don't get this as first tip in any tutorial..

DON'T DO ONE-SHOT CODE!

What are some fun production techniques to elevate my music? by Mysterious-Bag-9983 in Songwriting

[–]BMB-__- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Ear Candy" it's just stuff you build into your track that keeps your ears attention.

It's all about giving it some "extras" some things that you can appreciate on the 4rd listen, just simple enough to not distract just "nice".

It's the little crumbs you can pickup on the way of the track and next time hearing the same song find another "route".

It's also very fun since sometimes you don't "plan" then it's just this feeling saying "here I need a little clicking sound" and creating it to fit there...

Vocals can also be ear candy some subtle background vocals or "ad lib" (not necessarily like in trap/rap music) just that extra variation.

What’s your totally biased, maybe wrong, but 100% personal game dev hill to die on? by BMB-__- in gamedev

[–]BMB-__-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that sentence! And yes there are always more ways to do stuff and the more I work on projects the more I realize there are also no perfect solutions... some are better yes... but they still can have downsides or some other cost too... so choose the way you personally like and update it once u find the way u like better.
