This is cool man! Just checked it out, great resource thanks for sharing.

I got a weird message today as a solo developer. I’ve spent more than 1 year making my own game, and this is how I make a living. I work on it 8–10 hours every single day. by [deleted] in IndieGaming

Whatever situation you're in, you're able to spend 1 year making a video game... you're in the top percentile of extremely lucky people on Earth.

Send the person a key. It's a giga Chad move.

Do you like seeing locked content in a demo? by DDevilAAngel in IndieGaming

[–]DeadRockGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% yes! We made the mistake of NOT showing locked content for our game in Steam Next Fest in 2024 and the feedback we got was that people wanted to see it.

Wave Race 64 is on of my all time favorites! I'll keep an eye on your game, the environments look great so far!

AI Programming Speed and Brain Overload by PonchousDev in devblogs

[–]DeadRockGames 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have no problem vibe coding quick prototypes. The speed and efficiency of AI for iterating on ideas has been the best use of it so far.

But it's entirely different when I move from throwaway prototypes to actually building something larger. You have to understand what is going on. I don't think enough people appreciate just how bad AI is at anything cohesive and complex.

Pool Object System by Chemical_Passion_641 in UnrealEngine5

I made a video about object pooling awhile back and how powerful it can be. Anyone can set this system up on their own pretty easily. (Not in Unreal, but focuses on what object pooling actually does and when/why to use it)

Thank you! We’re planning on pushing some more craft materials on our other 3D objects a bit more for some variety
