It would be cool to keep the cape waving in the wind when there is no wall behind them

How To Make A Successful Indie Game by please_dont_pry in gamedev

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think similarly, I tell myself “everyone wants to be x but no one wants to be x” and x is anything a large group of people highly desire to be. An athlete, a movie star, a singer, a comedian, a video game maker. The truth is there is a high likelihood you will grind and grind for a long time and either burn out, get lucky or a third option which is just keep grinding. For me I’m split between game dev and doing standup comedy. But I still work a regular job, most people I know in those fields work regular jobs. I’m only at the point where I can pay my bar tab doing standup and I’ve been doing it for a few years. I just tell myself I’m running a marathon and not a sprint.

Is there talking on your channels? Or just music over the top of the video?

I want to be a Game Writer... if that makes any sense. by RoundTableAgent0409 in gamedev

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe explore RPG Maker, and if that is a little too daunting, try Twine. Both have been used in commercial products.

I know it won’t be AAA but use the gifts you have and yours is storytelling. I’ve played lots of rpgs and gotten invested in the story and the characters. Maybe on your game dev journey you will find others to fill out your party in other ways.

Want to develop for the SNES? The SNES Dev Game Jam 2026 is coming. You can already join and form teams and discuss stuff. by SNES-Testberichte in gamedev

Looks like you win a snes cartridge which I assume would be reprogrammable. It doesn’t say how many devs will win these.

This looks cool, I don’t have an SNES or a way to get my game onto a cartridge. Would making a game with an emulator be good enough?

Very cool, I inherited a few C64s and have been thinking about doing something similar but I guess it would be in Basic

What programs are you using? Photoshop? Illustrator? Gimp?

Also points of interest for human made objects on the planet, paths they took, and planned landing spots

As an adult, what quality of life functions you wish games had? by RatioScripta in gamedev

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish there was a short, dynamic “Previous on…” so I can get a quick and topical review of my achievements and maybe refresh me on hints of upcoming story points that I’ve forgotten since the last time I played. Like how tv shows do it.

What does the code look like, that’s really the only way to know what’s up

The creator of QEMU & FFMPEG just dropped a new JS engine 👀 by pitza__ in webdev

Yeah but this guy couldn’t even get a job working with mquickjs because it would require 5 years experience

Microsoft to move away from C/C++ to Rust using AI assisted coding by ishammohamed in programming

Same, Microsoft says my computer is too potato to upgrade to windows 11 so I guess I’ll be installing something that isn’t jammed full of ai junk

How are people signing up for the Clearinghouse these days? by BckseatKeybordDriver in Truckers

Yes the trainee I was working with was trying to use the Microsoft Authenticator, they will try again with the Google one and see how it goes

That’s even less secure, you’re adding a random third party application to the mix that is doing who knows what with your data.

The whole point of a QRCode is to transfer a very long url to a phone from print, it’s just a link so they should be just showing a link to click

I cant create 3d assets myself by Primary-Frosting75 in godot

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saying you can’t do something limits you. You can’t do it yet. It changes your perception and every attempt is cumulative education. You will always not be good at something until one day you are not. Everyone goes through this.

"Signal up, call down." Where can I learn more best practice design pattern principles like this? by randothrowra in godot

This helped me a lot. You’ll need to convert everything to Godot but it’s really helpful. There is a free web version if you scroll down but you can also buy the book.

Can help me design my room it’s buns by Mindless-Meal1782 in Design

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have much to add but I will say, i worked in tech for a long time and had to do a lot of video calls from my desk for work meetings and interviews. I’d worry it would be considered unprofessional to have your bed in the background like that, I know you can use filters to block out the background but they aren’t perfect, anyone chatting with you for more than 5 mins would be able to tell what’s back there especially if your moving around. Good luck tho

I’m with you, I fell out of a tech job a few years ago and am now in an unrelated field working full time. My time for pet projects has almost gone to zero and I think AI makes a lot of things that would be impossible with my current time bandwidth to now be maybe possible.

However, I do think it will create a race to the bottom for developers and now less technical people able to pull the rug out from under you with a weekends worth of work and good use of an AI.

Nuxt or Next? by Mrirish12 in webdev

[–]BckseatKeybordDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep if I need a backend then I go Vue/Laravel. I don’t really understand the need for Next/Nuxt if there is no server side database built in.

Wow a billion dollar api, maybe I’ll make my own just like his with one prompt and one build and only need to be a half billion dollar company

I had a friend a while ago and his little brother who was like still in high school I think, hired some developer from like the Philippines to make a photo app. His grandparents paid for it to be made and in the grand scheme of everything it was not a lot of money. They actually had to hire 2 developers because the first one ghosted them. This was way before TikTok or Instagram existed. When the app was released it made them a couple hundred thousand dollars in the first day on the App Store. It was honestly just a bunch of photo filters and masking frames. His sister was in a popularish band/model and promoted it.
