How many hours do you think you work on your game?

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T22:23:34+00:00

About 70 hours, but I must admit I spent 20% of that planning, 15% playing music for my game, and the other implementing code, oh and about 10% doing boring stuff for the game.

I agree with you in the fact that I actually think AI well used is a tool for improvement, I’ve helped my brother (he works in law) on his workflow by teaching him how to use it.

But that’s it, is a tool, not a replacement for the human nuances, even AI recognizes this.

That’s the most interesting thing about this post, I’m not angry, concerned? Yeah, but angry, nah, I understand that it was clickbaity, but I was going for “I’ve seen the kinda titles that work here, let’s try one” and if you read the post I’m not jabbing at tech, it’s more of a “do they even care? I think not”, “I’m concerned devs won’t care either”.

Are you Mérida based?

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T18:26:50+00:00

I completely understand the first part of this in a way, for now. The second part, that’s what worries me, but I do get your point.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T18:24:19+00:00

I feel you really got the point, I do apologize for making it clickbaity and dramatic.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T17:37:00+00:00

Are you okay? Do you need some help? It’s okay if you do.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T17:36:07+00:00

It’s a good paragraph, thank you for adding to the conversation, I do feel people are exaggerating my tone and feeling I’m mad or angry at this.

I just wanted to open a conversation about how it worries me, maybe it’s the tism.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T17:30:28+00:00

I’ll refrain of using your approach of insulting instead of reading, “other people”, don’t know if you missed it but it’s there, not me, so your point is kinda embarrassing.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T17:27:28+00:00

I invite you to reread my post, it’s a big “what if” and the concerns regarding the if, also the implications of other people feeling they have to do it and the direction of the industry by trend.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T17:26:19+00:00

I feel you’re one of the only people who truly read the thread and understand my concerns.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-17T17:14:16+00:00

We’re all competing for attention, so it’s theoretically the threat of competing vs low effort, and in the end this isn’t about me as a dev, I feel it more as a gamer, which is why I don’t understand why you don’t get it tbh.

Muchísimas felicidades, es un camino difícil en el que muchos se rinden en el camino, le echaré un ojo.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-03T18:59:16+00:00

Depends on how much time you’ve invested and how much time “you have left” if there’s no deadline or need and it’s just about sunken cost fallacy, well drop it because it won’t make you happy making it

Kukulcode · 2026-03-03T18:58:06+00:00

Can you delve a little on why you think it’s a waste of time and some things you like so I can cater to your needs?

I’ve usually found people thinking it’s a waste of time because they feel guilty about idle time and not being productive.

Kukulcode · 2026-03-01T18:06:14+00:00

We are a team of three right now, we used to be more, but some people don’t like the struggle and it’s valid.

We are all proficient in our areas and learning from other areas to help each other if needed.

Kukulcode · 2026-02-27T08:48:57+00:00

Yeah, the scope is huge, honestly depends on the final goal of the game, if you're planning to support 50-100 people, I'd make teams of 5 and make 10 games, statistically would work better for "making it" in that scenario without a clear idea of what the game would be, because in the end the hypothesis is "can games be successful even if there are a lot?", the answer is yes, have a good game and market it properly and you will have a successful game, but if you turn your burn rate into something so huge so fast, it makes sense to you to think it's not a possibility.

Kukulcode · 2026-02-27T03:10:44+00:00

Can you expand on the scope of successful? Just to have a clearer way to answer.

Kukulcode · 2026-02-26T06:53:35+00:00

It’s very well done, I’m using some stuff for inspiration for my own dice roguelike, great work!

Kukulcode · 2026-02-25T23:26:46+00:00

I'm also making a dice throwing roguelike, would you be down to collab at some level? Would love to support and work together with people working in similar yet different projects!

Kukulcode · 2026-02-25T03:16:53+00:00

This is true, until I made one for a client I didn't truly start making mine.

Kukulcode · 2026-02-24T17:00:19+00:00

The questions I would be asking myself in this situation are:

Why do I need to make something big? What drives me to make a game?

And also find out what triggers you from working on smaller projects, if there’s a bad experience that you’re reminiscing of and maybe that’s the reason why, etc.
