People say that music and sound in games can be “invisible” to players. But imo that’s also an opportunity to make them feel feelings without realizing why?

so the winds have shifted once again and i believe i will, in fact, be open sourcing my rust game dev framework. i wasn’t going to but i got some help and think if i can get one or two more additional core people to help manage it by the end of next year, that would be ideal

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

What I would get the most out of would be an overly complicated simulation of ship systems akin to a flight simulator but I’m sure I’m in an even smaller minority there

I think everyone projects their own power fantasy onto that genre of game and is disappointed because it’s a truck driver simulator (although people seem to enjoy those more when they have actual trucks)

the part of my brain that likes learning new programming languages is perpetually at war with the fact that C# is basically the perfect language for making the kind of games I make
