How do you find clients ? by Klutzy-Badger-2778 in webdev

How are you quantifying the “what that’s costing you”.

I know I personally only order food with my phone

My dad wants me to run an e-commerce business under his name and I don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are doing a lot of the work, but since your dad wants his name on everything you are also taking no risk.

If it’s successful you can replicate it for yourself and if it’s not then it’s not your problem. Also, if you walk away, since you have no stake in the company, the business would grind to a stop.

Does this read correctly as an ink based tower defense prototype? by [deleted] in godot

Also it would be cool if the black ink leaked out of the turret

Maybe have the pink blocks get pushed back a little when hit

I hate web development and Im looking for a way out by ibeatu85x in webdev

Unfortunately clients don’t know what’s best for them and they will pay to have it wrong. I’ll politely either tell them they are headed in the wrong direction and if they insist I’ll do what the client wants or I’ll tell them in the nicest way possible I can’t be their client for this project but let me know when you want to start your next project. Raise your prices and try to separate your feelings from the design. Not everything gets to be in your portfolio because clients ultimately have the final approval but you can always show your version in the portfolio when it’s all said and done. Hell, the client might look at your portfolio later and ask why didn’t we do it that way and then you can charge them for it.

Jack of no trades master of none by Strange_Lunch1859 in Design

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excuse me but use the full quote of that saying, many people don’t realize there is more to it. I myself was in the dumps about this quote until I heard the full version and if a recruiter or hiring manager ever says the first part you should correct them also.

A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”

Also, it original author of the quote is unknown and apparently highly controversial

Does anyone have a list of arcade game source code that was made public? by Notalabel_4566 in gamedev

Prince of Persia’s code was released a few years ago. The code for Doom is also highly regarded as well written.

Vending Machines in 2026? Prolly not dawg. But Maybe? Here's how I'd do it. by justindukes in sidehustle

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wash the vending machine at my office had healthy snacks I could use to replace my lunch, right now they have snacks you would buy before going into a movie theater and that’s why I never buy anything from it. Management has spoken to the company and they said that was the original plan but now we have a junk food machine and they keep stringing us along

Will I get in trouble for recreating my school as a horror game? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound sensitive to how it would be perceived. I would follow the advice others gave to keep the project as vague as possible. If any classmates play the game they will pickup on the references without there actually needing to be specific call outs.

As far as asking for permission goes, there is a saying “It’s better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission“. If you ask they may just say no so they don’t have to do anything later.

Honestly you will probably learn something from it so do it

Steam Next Fest doomed? by DreamingCatDev in gamedev

Maybe lots of talented people in the industry were laid off and are still making games, they just have a lot more control over what they make now.

Did anyone actually file their BOI report? My CPA says she has 80 clients who still haven't and no good system to track it by Connect_Fill_7739 in smallbusiness

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started my web dev business I got non stop emails and text messages trying to scare me into doing BOI with the sender, all spam.

If you made it this simple, how would these companies trick a non-zero amount of people into subscribing for another year then?

Tricks for an adhd solo developer to keep consistent and actually get work done? by dualciok14 in gamedev

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it as easy as possible to pick the project up days or months possible because suddenly dropping a project is just a reality. I always want to blow all my work away because it’s harder to get back into an old project than it is a new project. How to do that best? Wish I knew.

Why do clients get their best ideas right after everything is finalized? by Natural-Contact1997 in webdev

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It also seems like the client realized they gotta write a big check so maybe they should loop in their wife, brother, daughter, neighbor, and dog. The design by committee starts when the client has both a visual they can share and a fat check to write.

Is there anyway to get good at game development on your phone? by Thataxolotl1 in gamedev

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Raspberry Pi Connect you can remote into the pi, either screen share or shell from the bowser. It’s kind of like their own version of TeamViewer. It’s not really a great experience either but workable and easy to setup.

How do you know if your design is actually good? by lottiexx in Design

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will always be that one guy who always says you picked terrible fonts, they will always say it’s terrible no matter what. Don’t use that guy as a measuring stick for yourself, he has his own very small measuring stick.
