How do you manage not making your games bigger than they should be? We started with one quick mobile game just to test ourselves, and it's two epiphanies away from getting online multiplayer. I love it, but it's turning into a 1 year project which is 9 months longer than anticipated.

People have no idea how much they can change your life by doing the simplest things. One comment or even one smile at the right moment can be more powerful than years of therapy or self reflection.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The industry's fixation with better graphics is one of the main reasons there's a crisis today. Fancy graphics means more development time, bigger prices and much higher specs to run the game. It's like they haven't caught up with the fact that many people can't afford next gen gaming anymore.

It's been more than a week since I stopped taking meds that made me sleepy. And I just can't sleep anymore. I've been getting 3 hours per night and it's driving me cray

I've always preferred working on my own rather than joining a team, because of mental health among other things. I've always followed amazing developers on social media and the few I meet irl are usually pretty good. I'm starting to think I've lived in a bubble all my life and most programmers...

Someone tried to scam me on TikTok, but they were so polite. They groomed me for a week, asking how my day was and getting to know me. I got used to the attention and let the charade develop until I had no choice but to tell them I wasn't gonna give them my crypto wallet info. 😂

It's so true what they say about discovering your game rather than designing it. We started with a simple idea for a mobile game. Tomorrow is our first proper internal test and everything is telling us to completely change the focus because the really fun mechanics are the ones we didn't design.

So I played AoE2 for the first time in I don't know how many years. Lost the first mission of a moderate campaign. I'm rusty af, but I guess I know how I'm gonna waste my time this weekend. Time to remember the old build orders

One thing I do love about coding games that regular web development doesn't have is math. It's so much more fun to solve problems with linear algebra than what is this month's best way to write the same simple js/html form I've done a 1000 times before according to the industry "elites"

I know I'm decades late to the party, but I finally downloaded a MOBA (Dota), and I must say I get it now. At this point I'm not even sure why avoided those games for so long. I'm having a blast!

I swore I was gonna be constant on here and I stopped posting. So much is happening right now! I've been doing good progress on my ARPG hobby game and on top of that I'm partnering with a dear friend who comes from the VFX industry and we're gonna start developing commercial projects early next year

I have been contemplating the idea of making an ARPG for a while and I did some prototyping in Godot, which is my go to engine, but I'm not feeling the node system for this one. I'm migrating the prototype to pure C++ and SDL. Let's see how it goes.

Doing the 20 day challenge I've realized how many of these games I played with my grandpa. He was a music producer and I would go to his studio and play on his computer. His wife would get furious because we spent so many time playing, but he knew it was the best way to bond with me.
