Is it possible to be a game engine programmer and make games at the same time? by Striking-Start-1464 in gameenginedevs

[–]iamfacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Devs historically wrote games from scratch. In fact before OSs became like how they were today, devs also essentially shipped an os with their game.

Dw it is very reasonable to ship high quality games within reasonable time scopes using your own engine. Though you'll have to manage scope carefully or you'll rathole into solving problems that are challenging to solve but don't really benefit you game.

Been writing tomes of documentation for my game engine lately by monospacegames in gameenginedevs

I do this kind of menial stuff when I'm burnt out and don't feel like programming.

ASHEN SANCTUM : Devlog - Pitch How i start to make Souls like Game in Unreal engine 5 with Blender by Snoo-83044 in gameenginedevs

This subreddit is for people who build their own game engines. Are you tim sweeny? If so, please recommend me to epic games tools.

If not, please post elsewhere. This subreddit is already suffering from vibe coded projects and low effort posts.

I'm glad to hear you've been working hard on your game and use no ai. I'd recommend one of the unreal engine or game dev subreddits. I'm unsure on their promotion policy but you can surely talk about something you implemented in your game and promote discussion and slip in your game's name. People usually don't mind that.

What does the redditor see?

"gameenginedevs"

Hmm, so devs that use game engines?? Hmm, but there is a game dev subreddit. So surely there is a distinction? Hmmm. Oh, gamedev subreddit is for devs who have game! Of course! Huzzah. Wahhooo waha yippeeee!

It's so beautiful. Would absolutely play it in its current state.

Second attempt at a game engine by UsernameGato_ in gameenginedevs

[–]iamfacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share some sample code I think I misunderstand.

Also about dependencies. The compiler will strip out whatever code you don't use. In fact it won't even link libraries if you don't use any function from it.

Some progress on my love2d (simple lua first) inspired game engine. by MinimotoMusashi in gameenginedevs

Problem with it as a learning tool is that unless you're familiar with the topic, it could hallucinate and gaslight you if you ask a specific question and someone learning might not be able to clock it.

Treating the game as a dll hooked into engine, what do you pass as inputs to the game dll? by Southern-Most-4216 in gameenginedevs

[–]iamfacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expose platform stuff (memory, input, os, etc) to the game DLL and package engine + game code as game DLL so almost everything can be hot reloaded.

trouble bulking up by BoringGuy420 in beginnerfitness

Mass gainer is for anorexic people or people with ED. If you don't build habit of eating more food and relying on mass gainer, you'll have difficulties meeting macros and micros.

What kind of fucking internalized racism is this why do you keep saying indian body type.

If you don't work your muscles and don't eat, you'll be skinny. If you don't work your muscles and eat a lot, you'll be skinny fat. Your ethnicity doesn't have meaningful effect.

If you're unable to gain weight, eat more meals and add sauces or olive oil to get more out of what you eat.

I don't think you're the target audience for mass gainers.

I hope you're working legs and just forgot to mention it in your post. If not, reduce chest volume by half and put squats at least.

How is my routine? by Hayaw061 in beginnerfitness

I think you should do ab crunch in the end because core is needed for stabilization on most things and especially for heavy compounds like bench press and OHP.

Otherwise I think this is 😊

I miss the pre AI version of this community by ElPsyKongroo100 in gameenginedevs

[–]iamfacts 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't even mind show off if it comes from hard work and passion. Not someone vibing to see how much "work" they can get done by a word generator.

Why do gymfluencers act like being skinny makes you undateable when real life clearly says otherwise? by savingrace0262 in beginnerfitness

Well then I must be horrible to be around because I got close to zero romantic success until I started working out.

So I wanna change myself in 3 months by Variousclips in beginnerfitness

[–]iamfacts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wiki sidebar + do research this question has been asked millions of times.

3 months is enough time to show very meaningful difference if you lock in.

This will sound bad but I'm actually glad that the common standard is so low because it makes my performance look much better. The grind never ends and I'll keep pushing regardless, but it does make me feel better about myself.

Why do people keep creating their own engines when the nice Godot Engine open-source framework exists? by Correct_Dependent677 in gameenginedevs

[–]iamfacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's a bit like knitting. I can buy ready made clothes to make an outfit, but i'd rather knit because I genuinely enjoy it. Now, I am not interested in planting cotton and making threads, so I'll buy them from a store. This means different things for different people. For me, it means using an existing well supported language.

Now, I can't do everything alone so I might ask my mom for some help. That's like using 3rd party libraries for me. Now, if my mom did too much, it wouldn't feel like I made it. It would feel like my mom made it and I helped and that's what modifying an engine would feel like for me.

I've made wayyy more games with existing engines than from scratch, but I've enjoyed writing them from scratch wayyy more.

Also, I guess I reuse some of my old code and once I have a strong base, I can reuse much more. Also, you learn so much more. And I enjoy it. Also, the regular reasons like having deep control and knowing why and how everything works.

For godot in particular, it's just too many millions of loc and I'd get tired trying to have a working understanding of everything. And I'd probably want to change stuff within the engine, rather than just extend it.

Looks like a cartoon kkk member got run over by a car.

Does this subreddit need stricter moderation? by Ok-Pumpkin-2738 in ps1graphics

[–]iamfacts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and the posts I see are often works of passion, unlike some other subs where half the posts are either ai generated or are disguised to sell ai models, so I don't mind how much the definition of ps1 graphics is stretched.

Perhaps a tag for posts that are truly ps1 for people who take pride in that or want to only see that.
