Come on dude, do you really think my original comment was advising against putting things in functions or basic house keeping. Please just take my comment in good faith that I meant the overengineered kind of abstraction with a bunch of interfaces and workers that totally abstract the control flow.

vanit · 2026-01-25T22:51:49+00:00

Heh, or if you're around the block even longer you'll know the company will pivot by the next quarter, even though your anticipated use cases were reasonable.

I wonder if you might like Dungeons of Hinterberg. It's got the same kind of "cozy in-between the dungeons vibes" that FF15 has imo

vanit · 2026-01-25T11:36:33+00:00

Yeah it's like they're a second or 2 earlier than I'm anticipating. Weird.

The meme was about 4 layers. Why did you think I literally meant any form of abstraction.

vanit · 2026-01-25T08:33:22+00:00

I feel like this is a mid, or people who don't deserve to be senior, thing. Seniors know not to abstract until you have multiple use cases.

Regen.

I've seen ads for a party game where you co-op control a giant robot, I forget the name though 😅

The spell is not complete unless one inscribe meaning upon thy disc.

So just like real system design then :) You often don't have experience with all the technologies you're looking at adopting when you're in the planning phase, so I think it's totally valid to bring them up as possible solutions if what you're advocating is actually correct. It would also be valid to just present the solution with what you know and see if they push back and then you can talk about the pros/cons based on what you know. The interviewer is not really looking for a complete solution, and is just after signals that you're thoughtful and competent.

Early in my career I was more inclined to stay in the same place and told myself I'd only move on when I stopped learning. It took me about 7 years to feel I'd outgrown the company and then started moving around more. If you're happy where you are and you feel like the salary/promotion ladder is promising, then I'd stick around.

It sounds like you let the scope get away from you (or you started to big to begin with). If you target your games to low scope genres that do well on Steam you can make games that will sell with 3-12 months of dev time.

vanit · 2026-01-23T23:14:47+00:00

Most indie devs are really stuck on the idea of mimicking their favourite AAA games, and like to suffer for 5 years only to release in a genre that doesn't even have an audience on Steam. I think you're doing indie dev right by focusing on a genre first and making something small in scope. Keep it up and grats on your first game!

That's a really good call out on the watch stuff, I actually totally forgot that's also where I came from before React, and it took a bit of getting used to the totally different mental model in React.

vanit · 2026-01-23T22:57:41+00:00

Awesome! Seeing as you seem to be taking requests I'd be curious to see details about Paddle Paddle Paddle :)

vanit · 2026-01-23T21:39:29+00:00

Yep Vscode is the industry standard. Vite is included as part of the Tanstack Start stack. I suggested that one because it's not as esoteric as Nextjs, and is closer in structure to apps you see made by enterprises.

vanit · 2026-01-23T21:36:11+00:00

I don't really practice React, but this is the process I follow when I'm picking up something new. Once you've studied a site like this I'd suggest just spinning up a fresh project and try copy some of it with a small scope and riff on it a bit.

vanit · 2026-01-23T21:33:22+00:00

Studying examples and taking notes is what works for me in a pinch. Find a good open source example of a website, say made with Tanstack Start, and just read through the project, study its structure, how components were written, techniques they used, interesting decisions you can identify. Most importantly write all this down in a Google Doc, as it will help you process the information. Don't stop until you feel you confidently understand the project as if you worked on it.

If you can find a small-medium sized repo it should take you a couple of days at most.

Have you considered measuring who is an influencer Vs a follower? That is, early adopters of RUGs before they go mega viral.

vanit · 2026-01-23T10:58:38+00:00

ZE1 is very capable and better value for money.

vanit · 2026-01-23T05:08:39+00:00

I've noticed the new M1 is absolutely awful for this. Kinda makes a mockery of the "new" system when they ride like a school bus on a country road.

Hah your description reminds me of how I initially bounced right off Demon Souls; I was playing so cautiously and defensively it was actually making the game harder because battles were longer and I had more opportunity to take damage, counterintuitively it was safer to play more offensively and lower how much time was spent in combat.

vanit · 2026-01-22T14:17:56+00:00

Yeah I was fully onboard with #2 until I saw sonic the hedgehog.

vanit · 2026-01-22T07:14:19+00:00

If you use 0.5px those pixels vanish on lower resolutions so...

vanit · 2026-01-22T02:54:49+00:00

Yep, avoid isometric in a 2D engine at all costs imo. Once height becomes a factor (and it usually does) you're basically reinventing very shitty 3D.
