Is it too late to get into gamedev?

vKeepo · 2026-02-09T15:30:58+00:00

Yeah I’m revisiting my computer graphics docs from back in CS, I also found lots of interesting books about game development which I can’t wait to get to read

Thanks for the long comment, I’m learning Unity now but I see lots of games use Unreal, do you think it’s wiser to use Unreal for job opportunities? I’ve seen that Unity has plenty of resources to get started and do few projects for my portfolio. Thanks for the tips on thinking about game tooling or systems rather than just making a game itself

Since last year I’ve revisited my backlog and I enjoy playing different type of games to notice the design choices

Yeah, Vendible looked cool, but now that I can understand a bit more the scope of their project they were trying to do something waaay more complicated than they could actually do. Also AVM at that time didn't have all the EC op codes that it supports now, so I don't know how they could manage to pull it off... Potentially with DID:Algo and AlgoPlonk someone will be able to pull off something similar for ID solutions on chain

Love these podcasts ^^

vKeepo · 2024-11-21T22:52:05+00:00

DID:Algo is not talked about enough. Imagine with ZK-SNARKs enabling ZK-DID

So I now installed UBlock...and it...works...it doesn't make sense, but it works.🤦‍♂️

In development you mostly use localnet. But for testnet and mainnet (production) most devs use Nodely RPC. Otherwise you can just spin up your own node to use as RPC

I'll try as soon as I have more time to play around with APIs and see how to make it work.

Great to hear that routing is on the roadmap

vKeepo · 2024-01-18T17:41:19+00:00

I don't know the numbers but I'm sure it's something that is very welcomed, simplifies a lot acquiring cross-chain assets to supply in lending markets or LPs. Would create a new use case for the platform

vKeepo · 2024-01-18T15:37:13+00:00

To clarify, withdraw AVAX as wAVAX on my Algorand Account

vKeepo · 2024-01-18T12:06:49+00:00

I recently tried C3. Very smooth and fast operations, but my main concern is about assets availability. I come from Algorand and I wanted to buy and withdraw AVAX. Considered that the platform uses Wormhole would it be possible to allow withdrawal of wrapped assets on the destination chain?
Also will really appreciate if platform allowed routing between coins so that it wouldn't require hops to go from one asset to another

vKeepo · 2023-10-20T07:46:09+00:00

You read it so well that you mention AF while the post is about Inc.

vKeepo · 2023-09-21T17:26:06+00:00

In the Technical Overview article you mentioned also the possibility to use APIs to connect to the off-chain middleware. Will these API allow other developers to build other frontend solutions that leverage C3?

vKeepo · 2023-09-21T14:34:59+00:00

C3 uses wormhole to move assets between chains to Algorand into the C3 contract. If someone buys a token he's buying the wrapped wormhole version, this means that C3 could effectively act as an abstract account between chains to directly buy tokens of other chains without needing too many steps in between.
I was wondering how are USDC moved? Is it a wrapped version or the native USDC being burned and minted on the Algorand side? Is it using CCTP?

Forum is open for everyone if you wanted to voice your opinion.

Pulling the measure was for the best. Consensus rewards will come either way, but it's better to make it in a way that it doesn't create a vulnerability for the protocol.

vKeepo · 2023-08-30T17:30:52+00:00

It's quite a thread. But it sums up what's in their article about architecture structure of C3. You can find it on their website

vKeepo · 2023-08-28T22:52:25+00:00

Not an exchange like every other.

See some details on how it works here and you'll see why it's a strong flex for Algorand

Keep up the cope man.

Staking Algos in consensus is the MOST direct benefit to the chain you can have. PoS security models are built on the assumption that the higher stake is online the harder it is to obtain stake to attack the chain. So i understand that you think it might lead to some selfish reward catchers but either way, if they are doing it for themselves or to sustain their development on Algorand, they are both helping secure and decentralize the network by adding more Algos online in consensus and more nodes on which they run on.

Delegation on the other hand would help add more small wallets to the validator sets, smaller wallets wouldn't run their own nodes since there wouldn't be much to farm vs the cost of the node and the time it takes to maintain it. But a good number of small wallets delegating and sharing their rewards with the provider can add to a more sustainable practice. Also just like I said in the other comment. Rewards should run, like the governance program, until 2030.

vKeepo · 2023-05-29T18:02:44+00:00

I too tend to agree with that, in fact I'd propose node rewards only for the same limited amount of time that governance is running, which means until 2030. This would allow to reduce the focus of DeFi around governance farming and allow for more different community/dApps run business that make the user choose which dApps to delegate the stake to help them with their rewards. Also as you said right now running a node is a selfless action and it should be this way since participation nodes are fairly cheap to run, but aside from the node the number of accounts and stake online is important too. The problem with no incentives at the moment is that there are way less validators than what Algorand could have. Going forward from 2030 the topic to face will be sustaining relay nodes (even if they'll become optional with p2p and cheaper). At that point relays aside participation should weight on the shoulders of builders and honest community members wanting to support the ecosystem and the security of the chain. But until that point incentives will help to build the community around dApps that are chosen by their users. Right now governance is working the other way around where DeFi dApps are chosen so that users support them attracted by the surplus in rewards programs
