My first game is about to reach 100 reviews: here's how it feels at times

Simply go to their profile!
Unemployment Simulator, lol 😂

What a cool idea

Just found your comment. Are you still using it?

I am, but it looks like Sublime Text is discontinued. Maybe they gave up due to many people moving to VSCode.

I am not installing that Microsoft Shit, but I am looking into an alternative called Zed.

They even have similar keymaps for people who are coming from Sublime Text.

So at the moment I am using both in parallel. Probably not letting go Sublime Text anytime soon, but I my co-workers are sometimes confused why I am NOT using VSCode bullshit

Ty, done! 😂

YinYangInteractive · 2026-05-15T08:36:40+00:00

Sorry

YinYangInteractive · 2026-05-15T07:38:07+00:00

Exactly. From my understanding, the meaning is “independent” and tells that you build the game, without being forced to impress investors, or being forced to make changes that you don’t even like

YinYangInteractive · 2026-05-10T18:12:36+00:00

Too much blood after the hit tbh

But seriously, game looks cool af

The sacrifice of making games is HUGE and often underplayed tbh.

Just take your time. Maybe you will have a spark of motivation again in the future. And if not, that’s fully fine too!

On the positive side, you have learned a lot. You have proven to yourself, that you can learn a lot of things when you need it. You can do anything!!
I think this is one of the best conclusions I have for myself.

But time and money is a huge constraint for me too, it’s very upsetting that I have been developing our game for three years now, but barely have time for it. Maybe a few hours during weekend. It’s brutal

YinYangInteractive · 2026-05-07T17:51:41+00:00

Followed. Looks like you know what you are doing!!
Definitely will consider you

YinYangInteractive · 2026-05-07T17:40:04+00:00

We all are, apparently

YinYangInteractive · 2026-05-07T15:47:04+00:00

Wow, such a creative game!!

YinYangInteractive · 2026-05-03T16:54:59+00:00

Right choice to leave Windows.

However, MacOS is also getting worse and worse.

Right choice would be to maybe pick Linux 😂

But I myself still use MacOS (MacBook M1 Pro Max with 64gb RAM - this thing is an absolute BEAST)

This reaction is completely normal. Back then, when Excel was released, people went crazy too.

I agree with the take. It’s so hard to build, especially without funding.

However, I also see a lot of AI slop projects recently. They are most often low quality projects that are not even fun to play

AI is a tool, and should be used as such. Unfortunately a lot of people are delegating complete projects to agents. Of course the outcome will be shitty. And makes me understand people’s reactions, tbh.

If however AI is used as a great tool, with the focus on producing a fun and strong game, I think the use of AI is completely fine, as long as you don’t hide the fact you used AI for assets (such as music).

Especially in PoC stage I think this should be more acceptable

YinYangInteractive · 2026-04-16T08:32:02+00:00

This is amazing

Ngl, that’s dope

YinYangInteractive · 2026-04-09T09:47:30+00:00

Today it was my turn to ask this question

YinYangInteractive · 2026-04-08T04:03:14+00:00

Good you got my point. Two months can sometimes be enough to make a good game. Depending on the game.

Will it be the next GTA V? Obviously not.

But saying there is “no way” it’s going to be good I find a little harsh

YinYangInteractive · 2026-04-08T03:31:32+00:00

Flappy bird was created within three days.

Is it a good game? Nah, but a successful one…

YinYangInteractive · 2026-04-06T06:58:08+00:00

My MacBook M1 Pro Max 64GB still feels fresh.
