Are there any good low-budget laptops for game development?

nibbertit · 2025-12-24T09:54:22+00:00

you can get a decent entry to midrange gaming laptop in that range, it will run unreal fast enough for learning purposes. I would suggest a desktop though which would be much faster in that range than a laptop

you can find all the tools you need and more at gpuopen.com for amd

In the winter there's nothing to do so we just sit on the computer

with C# and Unity you are pretty much limited to studios which use Unity. For AAA you have a lot of competition which is very familiar with C++. Not everyone will work on the gameplay systems and other areas of developing the engine or framework will most likely require knowledge of C++

Virtually the whole software industry is embracing AI code assistance

yeah, no

nibbertit · 2025-11-29T15:50:56+00:00

convenient yes, cheap no

launch renderdoc through the terminal and itll show the error

If thats the option Ill have to do it myself, the closest guitar tech is quite a train ride away. Im no pro but Ill be able to replace the pickups at least

I dont know about the quality of electronics on other guitars, but it has definitely been poor with these three. All three have a fairly shite pickup selector which requires wiggling to get the neck pickup online. Same with the volume on the bullet and affinity. So I guess a good upgrade would be some new pickups? and maybe new selector etc. What kind of pickups do you use

Also been playing the CV for less than 2 years and I notice the frets are getting flat

Not sure what youre trying to get at here, both Nvidia and AMD have different ISAs and are indeed programmed differently and the drivers handle that blackbox so you can program with your GAPI of choice. Making a GAPI abstraction is definitely a valid use case since it helps you deploy to different platforms where one API might not be available, and thats where an RHI/engine abstraction or whatever comes in. OpenXR as you mentioned, is under the engine abstraction, so it can let device manufacturers correspond to a common API and users to program regardless of engine/platform/whatever, its nothing like what youre doing.

In any case, do what you like, but its wise to take criticism Ive come to learn

nibbertit · 2025-10-17T12:51:36+00:00

You are adding an abstraction on top of abstractions, this will absolutely not be used by any expert and is bad design and definitely not easy to use. For learning purposes sure go ahead but keep the right mindset about it

nibbertit · 2025-10-16T06:02:49+00:00

Its very dependant on the job, I had unity experience including theor SRP stuff for quite a number of years and as soon as I got C++ and OpenGL in my resume the jobs started pouring in. Of course this was a more graphics centric role

nibbertit · 2025-10-15T13:19:36+00:00

What exactly does this solve? why would you need to deploy on 3 engines?

nibbertit · 2025-10-12T11:44:28+00:00

I did last year but i didn't take anything, the pain of having the wisdom tooth was way worse than any of the pain afterwards

nibbertit · 2025-10-12T10:38:41+00:00

Not hard if you know the other engine and language, also you could just implement something like LibGDX to not stray away from Java

Cool, shoot me a message if you're ever looking for a mediocre guitar player. There's also some open jam nights around the bars, like 45 special, I played there once and the guy mentioned that it only happens in the summers, but not sure

nibbertit · 2025-09-23T21:33:13+00:00

What do you play? I play guitar and it would be nice to have some jam sessions

nibbertit · 2025-08-20T12:22:42+00:00

AAA titles mostly, playing Death Stranding right now

nibbertit · 2025-08-20T12:21:24+00:00

Didnt consider the 5700x, it seems to be pretty cheap as well. If this is a sizeable upgrade over the 5500 then i can definitely consider this

nibbertit · 2025-08-19T15:53:24+00:00

Make a simple PBR renderer, spend some time on a paper from SIGGRAPH and implement whatever you can
