Wow! It seems somebody already vibe-coded a game-engine with an extremely similar API to raylib... unfortunately no mention to raylib, at all... 😓
There has never been a better time to consider File Pilot from @vkrajacic! *FREE* in beta, single file, extremely fast, feature rich, with command palette, search that actually works, multiple tabs - shipping ON THE VERY SAME PLATFORM that original file explorer One person, 3 years, knocked it out of the park, while company owning the damn platform struggles to make theirs faster and wants to preload it! Consider File Pilot!
What fuck are they smoking?? Use FilePilot instead.
Microsoft admits File Explorer is slow in Windows 11, and it’s going to preload it in the background to help improve launch performance. “This shouldn’t be visible to you, outside of File Explorer hopefully launching faster when you need to use it,” Microsoft confirmed. If you
It's kinda insane how if you really love Programming you should probably not go into the current software development industry because you are certainly not gonna be doing enough Programming to be content with your life.
Many devs don’t understand that you’re supposed to use exceptions only for exceptional cases. Exceptions are NOT for error handling.
I had an idea of starting random bullshit programming paradigms. Pick a concept and say everything must be it now. "If-Oriented Programming - everything is an if", "Loop-Oriented Programming", "Thread-Oriented", "Variable-Oriented", etc. No matter what I pick it sound totally like something HN normies may get hyped up about. That's how fucked up programming culture is rn.
Do they sell replacement CEOs in the Unity Asset Store?
For future reference, the next time a Silicon Valley company wants to pay someone $17 million / year to continually exacerbate their content policy problems, I am available.
@pixamogames Hey there! Went solo full time last week, mostly spinning things out of pre-production so not much out in the wild much yet but... :)
I tried to buy Minecraft, one of the most popular games of all time, from Microsoft, one of the largest corporations in the world. The purchase failed, and this is the dialog box it displayed. This is the daily reality of using software.
To all of you that jumped full-time as a game developer, If you have some key advice and/or warnings for me I want to hear you out and connect! #IndieGameDev #gamedev #business
Very curious to ear your opinion, but on top of all, what makes it your first pick? Type of games? Quality? Community relationship? Studio culture? I want to know! #gamedev #Entertainment #gamingcommunity
Who do you think is the highest quality game developer or team in the world today?
Really starting to think about going full-time... Like real soon... I guess everybody will discourage me right? :P #indiedev #indiegameDev #indiegame
@MooLanderGame Very nice art style and vibe. Gave me a 2D "Subnautica" fantasy world aesthetic & atmosphere if I dare make the link. Keep up the good work!
@T1Gu1Sensei Ahaha yes that's kind of a mental safety net I surely have! Job are abundant these days ... But coming back to your suggestions... I think I'm the kind of person that is either all in, or all out. I tried starting slow, but it drains me more than anything else...
It's been a weird day, but also an historical day for the gaming industry it seems! What do you guys think about that Microsoft acquisition? #gaming #Microsoft #ActivisionBlizzard #gamingcommunity
