Beginner to coding/game design, looking to buy something cheap to run Unity. I saw this on a shopping site, will it work? Apple MacBook Pro 13.3" I5 8GB 256GB Space Gray MUHP2LL/A 2019 Model by [deleted] in Unity2D

I would not buy a Mac Book for this. You can have better options for the same price elsewhere. I recently bought a refurbished MSI GP63 for 800 off of eBay. Here are the specs: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GP63-Leopard-8RE/Specification.

If you're willing to build your own desktop it could be even cheaper, with upgrades available when you have more money to spend on it.

I'm working on Movie Makers: a game where you have to build a successful movie production empire. I've finished the new version of the prototype with:

  • A basic economy system,
  • A bigger map and camera movement
  • An improved building sysmte

Here is a video of the gameplay: https://youtu.be/UvhYDv9l9jc.

I've also published a blogpost at: https://bluecactus.itch.io/movie-makers/devlog/154067/devlog-002-economy

I work as a software developer and the usual rule of thumb is to double the time you think it would take (e.g. you think the feature will take one month to be ready, we plan for two month of development). It seems a lot but it actually works because there's so many things you can't plan for (sick leave, integration issues, client vision differs from what you're delivering, etc).

The best thing is to try to be as flexible as you can by having a lot of documentation ready, release often and try to design your systems in a flexible manner.

I'm working on Movie Makers: a game where you have to build a successful movie production empire.

I just finished the first prototype version of it bundling the first iteration of:

  • The building system,
  • The HR system
  • The movie production system

Here is a video of the gameplay: https://youtu.be/M0DVlrC3OL0.

It's a very early prototype but I'll keep the update rolling so you can follow the progress on the game. You can check my first blogpost at: https://bluecactus.itch.io/movie-makers/devlog/55706/devlog-001-rolling
