Can't wait to stream ML games to my mobile users with Life Time Value of $0.05 🤑

Rust tech is exciting. Good old-school programming fun.

They are hireable (if they ever find themselves in a position where they need to be hired at all) by virtue of being absolute god-tier game developers, despite not using reasonable coding practices from this decade.
This is not the reality of most developers getting into the industry.

How to produce a batch of unhireable devs in one simple move.
Pretty cool. 🙈

Rock and Stone, brother!

Class design is not architecture.
Silksong took six years; Team Cherry did not have time limitations.
Using sensible practices intended to save time has a tangential relationship with Uncle Bob's Clean Code.

There is no limitation in game development that would stop developers from using best practices for foundational units in the system.
HollowKnight also had a goofy codebase.

The pill that is hard to swallow is that it's just DevX and not correlates to project success.

Awesome tools and excellent write-up.
I'd honestly love to dive into everything you're using there.

What's your experience with HotReload? I was always apprehensive of giving it a try, due to instability/state leaks concerns, just focused on keeping my compilation times manageable instead.

Ackchyually, refactoring is the process of restructuring existing code without altering its functionality.

Psycho Patrol R Looks good.

Still actively searching!
Would greatly appreciate a signal boost to get this opportunity in front of the right people. 🙏

Jeans and jacket? That's crazy.

UI designer writing proper commits? Fake as hell.

Looking at games like Eternal Strands breaks my heart.
Years of work for a peak of 700 players.

The industry has changed. Even when done competently, offering the same experiences that have been repeated over and over won't bring them anymore.

Probably won't help, but here's the thing: once you become decent at coding and have marketable skills, you'll find yourself in a different market altogether.
it takes much longer than a year.

Would love to connect.

One of my clients, whom I've been working with for a few years, is looking for a Combat Game Designer for a very promising mobile co-op ARPG.

Any advice on how I can signal boost to help reach people with solid industry experience?

#Linkedin at it again.
I don't understand where are those new #Ai developed projects and tools?
Can it LLM create a quick and simple internal tool to automate simple tasks? Yes.
But where are we pushing 500k projects out of the door?

I strongly recommend wrist strength training.
With both my keyboard (Moonlander) and mouse set as vertical as possible, and despite trying custom-carved wrist supports, the only thing that provided almost immediate pain relief was daily exercise with a hand grip and Powerball.
