Real gamedev is watching a YouTube video on how steam engines work because I refuse to use AI to generate even concept art of my machine

The Chicken Littles saying "software engineering is over" is gatekeeping how vital and important this job is.

The secret it turns out is not to get to the end, but to find a journey worth going on.

My game will be free forever and no subscriptions and have offline version so you keep it. I do it for the love of the game.

When you realize how long it takes to make a single asset or a mechanic you weep for bad games because it shows contempt for the craft

To love is the understand and to hate is to not understand. If you love gamedev, you will seek to understand code.

When you die you go to your last save point. Your last save was the last time you were happy.

I love to suck at programming.

when you get good, you become fast. but if you prioritize fast, you become bad.

the difference between me and chagibbity is that I don't error check. by that I mean, I don't clog my code up w edge cases that won't happen

gotta pay $69 for hot-reload for something that Unity should've had built in.

are you a real developer if you don't have anything to complain about?
