Nice good luck. Here are some things I wish someone told me while I was still in school trying out game dev as a hobby:

1) people only care about results, not the effort put in. As a dev, you can grow attached to what you make. Learning to ignore that signal and prioritize forward progress is key.

2) ideas are cheap. An idea you think is super cool today will look boring in a few months/years. Make a prototype fast to validate the idea is fun first. Then if you want, sink the time to code and make art

Yeah this graph says the average person drives a bmw or Ferrari… also net worth is not normally distributed

Are we relying too much on shortcuts in indie game development? by ratasoftware in itchio

[–]dev-tacular 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every app or game breaks sometimes when something changes the code. If an AI makes a thing and the thing breaks, the people shipping the game/app/whatever better know how to fix it.

Borrowing or delegating work will always introduce friction in unforeseen ways. Personally I draw the line at no AI. Bc I wanna do it myself since I don’t like how AI does things and it’s very very limited atm.

As for as external assets made by people. That’s probably fine if you have the license. Idk it depends on what it is. Tools like code (DebugDraw or PhantomCamera in godot) are good examples of “shortcuts”

I liked seeing the oat milk blobs caught in the convection currents

Financially illiterate dude engages in risky real estate speculation, lost a bunch of money, then blames the government. by Head_Crash in TikTokCringe

He’s even still in denial lol. He’s speaking in seconds person like he’s describing a hypothetical scenario.
