making games is great because you can make a source file called "caves" and it's all algorithms for generating caves.

Unsolicited Monday game dev advice:
When getting started for the week, try to find easy wins. Fix small bugs or add little bits of polish.
This helps get back into the groove and gain momentum for bigger stuff later in the week.
That's it! Hope you're having fun with your game 🛠️

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

Since I’m doing both art and programming for my game, I get to not only violate decades worth of computer science findings about code design and architecture, but also blaspheme centuries worth of study and understanding of perspective! #doublethreat

In an old interview once featured on the Pac-Man fansite, Pac-Land, Toru Iwatani expressed interest in creating games that make people cry.
He elaborated that he would like to envision a dramatic game that would provoke emotions beyond what gamers (at the time) were used to.

Unpopular personal take.
Given the, like, hundreds of great looking indie games I want to play, I'd happily pay the same asking price of the longer version of the game for one that is no more than 4 hours long.

- games are more expensive now to make than ever
- Obsidian doesn’t really do layoffs or crunch. They treat their employees well and find new projects for them.
- Game Pass is always an option
- Game studios are in HCOL locales
- $80 should be the norm for full-length AAA-budget games.

Outer Worlds 2, the explicitly anti-capitalist roleplaying game developed by Obsidian, being the first Microsoft game to cost $80 USD (or a STAGGERING $100 CAD) is just too on the nose for me. Jesus fucking christ.
There are MAYBE 5 AAA games released in that past 5 years that could justify that $
