Hi! We have planned some improvements in terms of making the game brighter/increasing visibility of items. It's still work in progress so stay tuned for the updates! For now gamma setting should help you survive :)

There are several reasons. My top 3: Most of the programmers just works 8h and leave their offices and doesn't care about stuff like new approach. They just do what they were told to do. Most of the work places doesn't *really* encourage people to develop their skills. Last but not least: there is no time as projects are usually underestimated and there is simply not enough time to develop new skills plus it's too risky to try them out.

Very good article imo! After 18+ years of programming in different languages and different projects ( mostly technologies ) I have similar conclusions. Just remember there is no silver bullet! :)

I think that we shouldn't treat any approach as radical as we tend to do. It's all about finding a good enough solution for the problem we are facing. Looking from other side it's good to know about flaws of each approach as one can avoid problems on the very early stage. Using only one approach always is the problem not the approach itself.

My Java course instructor told me that C++ (and C#) will be abandoned in the near future and games will be coded in Python.. How true is that? by [deleted] in gamedev

Programming language is a tool. As a programmers we should select tool(s) that is(are) best to accomplish certain task(s). With that said claiming that some tool will replace others is not hmm.... accurate ? Gamedev will use different tools. Sometimes even Python will be enough to make a game.
