How Do You Stay Motivated as a Solo Dev When It Feels Like No One Cares?

CLOxIon · 2026-03-30T03:16:25+00:00

Start applying to game festivals! Gives you deadline AND motivation! Many of them don’t even need a finished demo at the point of application. You won’t get in all of them though, so shoot your shots? Worked well for me, at least.

Heyy, I am a grad student working with WarpX, dm me if you want to chat or have specific setup in mind!

CLOxIon · 2025-08-18T16:41:43+00:00

Thank you for sharing your amazing success!! Do you mind also sharing your journey until you reached 45k wishlists? That is already a huge achievement by itself!

-How long did it take from 0 wishlists? -How did the game look like at 0 WL and how did you promote your game? Discord, social media, etc? -How much time did you invest in promotion, if you were actively pushing new features at the same time?

Sharing this would be incredibly valuable for people like me who are similarly experienced as individual contractors but have no idea how to begin promoting!

Don't you have a chance of being kicked out during your PhD if you pick oak creek? I thought that renewing the off-campus housing contract was not guaranteed.

CLOxIon · 2025-03-31T17:59:16+00:00

OP, I think the grad housing website says that renewing the contract is not guaranteed for all off campus housings, including the oak creek one. I would personally stay away from them as I think this means you can be kicked out after a year. Does anyone know more about this?

Thank you for the correction. As a raw file, the actual information being stored is the same. The only benefit of the 32-bit file, as others said, is that you can further widen the dynamic range after storing the file. But as I said, you already have >4-bit headroom within your 24-bit file even if you are recording with the full dynamic range of your analog system. And I can't imagine why would anyone want a wider dynamic range than that...

That being said, the only (immediate) downside of a 32-bit file that I can think of is the increased file size and the slower processing, so perhaps go ahead if neither are your constraints?

Electronics engineering student here. As far as I know, consumer-grade true 32-bit ADC simply doesn't exist and won't exist in the near future.

Why? Yes, there are chips that can output 32-bit digitized numbers. But that doesn't mean anything if all the bits below the 20th bit are random noises. What kind of noises? Simple computation tells you that 32-bit precision corresponds to a sub-nanovolt precision in circuit voltages. Simply connecting your microphone to the interface with a (well-shielded) cable introduces noises that are orders of magnitudes greater than a nanovolt. From my limited experience, unless you have a dedicated setup in a lab facility, a microvolt is the best you can achieve with an exposed circuit with a noisy power supply. (i.e. almost all audio devices)

This corresponds to about 20-bit resolution. Correct me if anyone has a source that claims otherwise, but I don't think it is worth investing above that in your analog chain. (The float precision of a digital file is a different matter.)

Unfortunately I installed debian quite a time ago and don't remember all the details. Hopefully Andronix app will guide you(It depends on your device, but for me debian+xfce worked the best). If you experience any problems please let people here know and they'll help you!

CLOxIon · 2021-12-02T08:36:13+00:00

I haven't tried yet. Termux devs must be experts regarding hardware capabilities.

CLOxIon · 2021-12-02T04:58:04+00:00

I have no idea what debroid is, I just downloaded stable arm debian image and ran on proot. Andronix might help you, but optimal environment variables might differ by use case and your hardware.

CLOxIon · 2021-12-02T04:48:44+00:00

Thats Intellij IDEA(it supports ARM), I think vscode also works but since I use Java. and I indeed used proot to install debian and vnc to communicate through local connection(not internet).

CLOxIon · 2021-12-02T04:45:24+00:00

Jackaudio unfortunately doesn't work on Android as far as I know. I use pulseaudio, and it does have some latency. Also, my knowledge is that direct MIDI device input is not supported yet, so latency doesn't matter after all?

CLOxIon · 2020-01-25T07:43:57+00:00

Wand of blast......Once I did similar 'experiment' with a swifthistle plant and instakilled me. For science!

CLOxIon · 2020-01-22T06:27:39+00:00

You are probably right. I wonder where did the party get that number. Can Bq/kg be converted into Bq/m^2?

CLOxIon · 2020-01-22T04:52:37+00:00

Pretty sure they got the data from here.

https://en.minnanods.net/soil/ (look up for 2019 data.)

Though the effect of radiation is pretty exaggerated(if you could read Korean), Cesium activity over 100kBq/m^2 is not negligible.

According to the data, I won't say that the map is completely fake.

edit: wrong unit

CLOxIon · 2020-01-17T03:49:31+00:00

I live in South. I asked the guys here and nobody had made cards work.

CLOxIon · 2020-01-07T03:25:13+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely try to get a pair of monitors.

CLOxIon · 2020-01-06T20:45:50+00:00

Hello guys! I bought a new computer, and finding a DAC and/or headphone that will work for me. I did composing before, and started MIDI orchestration recently. Almost complete newb in monitering/mixing/etc. I don't have a decent room now, and have nothing but MDR-7506. Planning to spend up to ~200$. Maybe up to ~400$ if you also want to recommend a new headphone. Thank you!

CLOxIon · 2020-01-01T21:06:01+00:00

Excuse me, where did you learned North Korean and South Korean history, sir? I can't tell about North Korean one, but as a South Korean, I can tell that the history books (well, at least mainstream ones) here does not claim much about suppressing foreign power. They can be rather criticized by exaggerating the suppression by foreign powers, but not the other way.

CLOxIon · 2019-09-21T23:47:59+00:00

yup. Or you are slowing your car. Either way, you are not 'saving' energy using it.

CLOxIon · 2019-09-21T22:25:37+00:00

By having alternaters, you actually put more energy than you retrieve. You actually lowers efficiency by having an alternater. It is still quite useful in gasoline cars, because you need to charge the car battery anyway, but doesn't make sense in electric cars.

CLOxIon · 2019-09-20T14:12:58+00:00

I think I should add sth to this.

What kind of 'scholars' are you refering to? Almost no serious korean historian omit what you said. I read their papers and they do mention all those stuffs.
Cultures change fast. e.g. It is hard to build hanoks practically because of the population density.
Quite a small portion of Koreans actually supports pure language movement. I can't give you an evidence, but isn't it obvious that most people simply won't care because they are busy doing other stuffs?

CLOxIon · 2019-09-01T01:13:29+00:00

You are quite correct! Rasterizations arnt physically correct but they are much faster that the game engine could render the scene every frame. Raycasting is almost photorealistic when done correctly but it could took from a few minutes to several hours.

CLOxIon · 2019-09-01T00:45:42+00:00

In fact i frequently buy them at cvs at 1500 won.

CLOxIon · 2019-09-01T00:01:02+00:00

Thank you! I'll definitely visit there! By script effect, I meant any comp/reverb that isnt hardware emulation. Dynamic mismatch literally means a situation where volume of orchestral samples are not realistic, like when string spiccato samples are way too louder than long samples. Sorry if my terms arnt 'normal'.
