Screenshot of a series of check in notes from Unreal Game Sync, which shows a series of incrementing changelist numbers and 8 check-ins with timestamps from between 3:23 PM to 3:44PM GMT (full names are obscured to protect the guilty). The notes read, from oldest to most recent: Author: C***** - Waystation wrap text Author: A***** - [tc] more floating volume stats: this time on sizes Author: A***** - [tc] fallbak when we don't have all the snapshot data Author: A***** - we want(?) Author: A***** - [tc] next attempt at summoning snapshots! Author: A***** - [tc] WILL THIS FINALLY WORK Author: A***** - [tc] we still out here Author: S***** - initial work for decor togglable lights Author: A***** - [tc] the joy of a build engineer is sometimes it's too hard to test locally and that works 90% of the time and sometimes you look like a moron in the p4 history Author: C***** - Non-unity build fix

Just another Wednesday morning in the source control check-in notes (we have all been there ...!) #GameDevProblems #SpiritCrossing #indieDev

How game developers react when their game gets cancelled after 2.5 years of dedicated development 🫠 #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevproblems #gamedevelopment #gaming

Oops… I did it again. Instead of finishing my main project in Unity, I got sidetracked learning Love2D/Lua... and then sidetracked again with Godot 😄 Now I’ve got a nice little classic Zelda-like prototype.

When you pick up coding a project again after a couple weeks and realise you stopped coding something mid-line, it doesn't compile until you fix it, and can't remember what you were trying to do #gamedevproblems

The feeling of spending four hours going through code trying to find a graphical glitch only to find out that you just forgot to add the new element type to the renderer's content counter system.

One boolean = four hours.

I think that's a sign for a coffee break. 🐧☕

In the first iteration, you simply "collected" finished food but I want to make it interactable this time

Giving possibility to send out the wrong food, or even burnt food

The plate system works for this, but feels too simple to me

#gamedevproblems #gaming

Quite interesting to see how my file system has changed over 6 months

I think the older way is much harder to find what I'm looking for, especially once I get to multiple levels

How do you organise your folders?

"I have an hour until a game dev meeting, thats plenty of time to run an update on my computer"

my laptop: :) yes, of course thats enough time
*takes 84 years to update*

it was not enough time

Got sidetracked. Was supposed to be working on my current Unity game... but I opened Godot ‘just to tinker’ and now I can't stop. Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this. 😅

Ok, AI might one day take over (or I'm just a fool) 😅

I'm gonna have to start coloring these pieces in before long...I still gotta choose a color palate for the game though lol. #gamedev #art #gamedevproblems

Still gotta make a world map (so to speak) so I can get an idea of the general layout of where I want things to go.

For that matter, I still need to write out the main plot line of the story so I can know what things I want on the map lol. #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevproblems

492 CSV files in one folder is fine, right?
Right...?
Should've given each case its own folder like a month ago 🫠

I was right. I was referencing the upper+1 bound of an array. Tale as old as time. #gamedevproblems

Love when something works in two rooms but no others despite the mechanic being set up to work in every room. Again at the questioning reality phase of development #gamedevproblems

Me: I’m going to sleep and nothing can stop me. 🛌✨
Brain: Did you do that update? Did you save that file? 🤔💻
Game dev life is a constant battle, even at bedtime. 😅 #IndieGameDev #GameDevProblems #Relatable

😫 Server latency slowing you down? Cloud costs eating your budget? You're not alone. These issues can make or break your game.
Stay tuned to see how Cloud Alchemi tackles these challenges! 🛠️✨

Apple and Google have approved the update to the game... now I'm in that state where I feel nervous about pushing the "release" button in case there's a stupid bug I've missed or something. :P

The idle animation doesnt even touch the face lol. I'm guessing the "_UE4" in the skeleton file may not be 100% true lol

#Gamedev #gamedevproblems #unrealEngine5

nothing like your 7min #udemy video taking 30-40 min to get throught because their servers are slow today to ruin your coding flow this morning lol

#gameDevProblems

Oh no, just got another really good game idea that I will end up writing notes about in a google doc for "When I have time" and then not having time for so long that the notes no longer make sense when I read them again. #indiegamedev #gamedevproblems

I need a list of items from my game and no one has made an FAQ for me to quickly pull that information from #gamedev #gamedevproblems
