#gamedev conundrum - stay in-scope when cycling a bolt-action? More stylish to see the animation out-of-scope, but disorienting to zoom in and out so often.
Verdict: Stay in-scope, but allow the player to leave the scope before the cycle animation starts if they release RMB

Stop worrying about AI in game dev.
AI isn’t creative—it remixes, not innovates.
AI scripts are usually wrong & break when complex.
AI can’t navigate game engines or design fun games.
Any dev saying AI will “destroy indie game dev” is just farming clicks. Ignore the fear-mongering. Keep building.
How to Escape Tutorial Hell:
1. Recreate a tutorial game without watching the tutorial.
2. Build your own project from scratch.
3. Use tutorials as reference only - no step-by-step guides.
The only way out is action!

80-90% of people quit game dev before finishing a game.
5-10% publish.
Only 1-5% make a career out of it.
Why? Even successful devs give bad advice. They repeat the same tips, but failure rates don’t change.
The real key: Stop overthinking. Start finishing small projects. Action > theory.

How to start game dev:
• Pick Unity
• Publish a mini-game in 1 week
• Repeat
• Expand to 4-week projects later
How NOT to start game dev:
• Overthinking engines
• Not finishing games
• Obsessing over hooks
• Writing a full GDD

This dev has made really good game art choices. It looks great.
This looks great, I really like the art style and character movement. It goes really well together.
Do people still play rts games?
Beginner Game Dev:
Don’t use Unreal Engine.
Beginner Game Dev:
Don’t use Godot.
Game dev time management:
• 20% coding
• 10% testing
• 70% staring at your screen, wondering where the day went.
Every game dev’s journey:
1. Write code.
2. Break everything.
3. Fix it.
4. Break something else in the process.
Repeat forever.
Yep, every time.
I actually saw this plenty of times using unreal…didn’t really see this with Unity.
Game dev is 10% making games and 90% fixing the one line of code you swore was fine yesterday.
‘I made a 3D version of [insert popular game]!’
Translation: here’s half a level with no real gameplay, but hey, it looks good in the thumbnail.
Unique and achievable game ideas for solo devs:
Haunted Harvest
• Genre: Horror Farming Sim
• Concept: Grow supernatural crops and defend your haunted farm from nightly threats.
• Scope: Focus on a single farm area, basic farming mechanics, and simple enemy AI for nighttime defense.
Love those ‘make a game in minutes’ videos. Always ends up being just a pretty scene with no depth.
Game devs beware lol
Game Dev "Guru" Fluff
“Pick Unity, Unreal, or Godot” → Pick Unity and start
“Graphics don’t matter” → Then stop talking about it. Decide 2D or 3D
“Your first game will suck” → It’s about learning and winning, not just finishing
“Consider engine pricing” → Focus on skills now. Money comes later
