Time Commanders - Battle of Teutoberg Forest YouTube video by Zakerias Rowland-Jones

Crazy how I loved Decisive Battles on the History Channel, but never heard of Time Commanders. They both used Rome: Total War for visuals.

Amazing concept!

✅ Priorities straight

Too true

Neat! Unity? If so, new or old input system and why? :)

Been silent for a while on here, working on assets, new as well as updates. Hope you all are having a great summer! 💚🌞 #indiedev

Unpopular #GameDev opinion that you actually believe? 🤔
I'll go first:
Most games don't need procedural generation, in fact it can make the game seem "cheap" if it's too big a part of the whole effort.

Your turn #IndieDev

Interested as well, following! Haven't come up with any solution I really like myself.

Made a bunch of sound effects for this project last year. Demo released today. Quite fun Vampire Survivors-like.

Feeling bad about the #GameDev project you never finished?
Don't! ❌
What I wrote about #running applies here too.
More likely that not, you learned a lot working on it 💡
Look at what you gained and focus on what it taught you, not what it didn't become.

Feels great to be back #running! First two 10Ks in more than 6 months last week. A great thing I realized these past years is to feel OK about breaks. You'll have one, sooner or later.

I'm still a much better runner now, than if I had never ran to being with. Realize the positive things ☀️🏃‍♂️

Second easiest #GameDev optimization? Save values that you need again later. More often than not, there is an abundance in memory, not CPU time.
Cache those calculations! #IndieDev

Excellent, thanks for the feedback! 🙌

Thanks! Unfortunately I haven't been able to test with that app, but I made a change to the date generation which might have fixed it (all times are set to 12:00 GMT+2 for now since I only used dates before)!
Let me know if it helped 😊

Easiest #GameDev optimization?
Simply dont abuse Update().
Do question when code actually need to run and reduce frequency. #IndieDev

Hmm interesting. Works well for me using 'Feeder', but I'll look into it! What reader are you using?

Added RSS now!

Seems to be working, let me know if there's any problems though. Again, thanks for suggesting it 🎉

Yep, to be honest these are quite easy optimization measures but they do wonders on performance. You really should, it's relatively easy and so worth it! Thanks a lot man ☺️
