Yeah 100%. It's like the term Indy simply means not AAA anymore. Solo dev, that still means something I think.

Do it (if you're into fun, repetitive, stressful hobbies that no one other than you cares about unless you get really really lucky)!

Plus, singletons just seem so much cleaner. I can keep all of the associated variables and methods in one place.

Any new 2d or 3d Mario platformer.

I think I'm going to just go with using a giant Dictionary to keep it straight. Thanks for the feedback @yarncatgames.com.

It would be easier if it were procedurally generated, but that's not what I want - it needs to be manually tailored per instance. These are instances of a scene that are pre-generated in the node tree before run time. They're the maps for my game. They each need their own "startingZoneData".

An array of objects based around a custom class. Mostly an arrangement of Vector2is to track starting zones for characters in my 2d strategy game.

I agree. I also, short of humanity making a sharp pivot towards a sci-fi utopia akin to Star Trek, cannot fathom how this isn't the obvious endgame for our post-AI society. Commercial and criminal gain.

I want to be excited for this game but I'm just not.

Doesn't Volo's mention something about their giant heritage?

Dems have to fight fire with fire, but it still feels like a race to the bottom.

I've got web sites and apps at work that just lost all of their images and some of their functionality. Fun times.

Just took Nokoma for a spin. It's pretty fun. The tutorial was short and sweet and did a good job teaching the basics. The premise of the game seems sound, but I wonder if you could add any extras to it. Maybe some blocks that do something other than split?

Game development is a tough racket, for indies and AAA alike. Keep your chin up and love what you do.
