Reminds me of that saying "The youth is wasted on the young". It's only once we truly have no time do we realize how much time we really had. I love my kids but they take a lot of time. Wouldn't change it for the world t

I think this is the point though right? The author is saying that he rejects this dichotomy and he's attempting to take on both even if others might perceive it as impossible.

Completely agree! Unfortunately this is the Unity MO. A tool that's a bit half baked. They have been doing a hell of a lot better lately though.

Unity native files are still pretty much a nightmare to merge. With that said I find it's not too hard to break things up in a way that multiple people can work on separate pieces of the game so the actual files don't need to be m

Unity video player leaves a lot to be desired. The standout option for a more elaborate video handling was typically AVPro. It's a really good option, with that said with vlc stepping up hopefully it's no longer strictly necessary

Indie dev here. Making games is hard it is one of the few spots in software where all disciples have to come together to make something compelling. I've done a lot of programming on various sub sections of the disciple and it still rem

A rare show of vulnerability on hackernews. I commend you and echo the sentiment! I really appreciate you sharing your story. Know that it does not define you and you are absolutely loved and are worthy of love, especially from yourself.

As a game developer who's primary tool I utilize is Unity I always find outside sentiment about it funny. There's no doubt that Unity has put its users through the ringer over the last few years or so. That said I still for the mo

Yeah these were my thoughts exactly.

I 100% agree. It's funny to me that for a website that's focused on people and companies creating new things, people here can be extremely hostile and jaded to the idea. The pessimism can get old.

Just want to second this. I've been using unity for almost a decade now and enjoying it despite the many caveats and idiosyncrasies I come across. The bottom line is, I definitely don't want to throw away the decade of experience

I was wondering whether or not this would go "mainstream". Kind of wild to see the Times pick up this story.

Definitely agree. The biggest issue in the US is the will to change things. As you've mentioned, during the pandemic, we've seen how rapidly things can change when everyone is aligned in one direction. Whether you agree with those

Preach! Been a self employed game developer for almost 10 years now. I think a lot of people fail to realize how incredibly hard it is to make a product (even a great one) and make a reasonable profit from it. It takes a lot of patience, le

Completely agree. ChatGPT can be an incredible tool for getting a lay of the land on a subject or topic you don't know much about. On that note, search in that regard always reminded me of those times where you ask a teacher how to spe

Thanks! That would be an amazing idea. I get the feeling though that the scales are starting to tip in their favor where we are going to be needing them more then they are going to be needing us soon haha. Kudos to valve though, it feels li

Just picked one of these up during the sale as well! Primarily because I can see that the steam deck is picking up steam...no pun intended and I thought it would be an awsome opportunity for my game. I'm an indie developer and I'

Full time indie game developer here. I've also done a myriad of other development in the past. I always say the difference between software development (app, website, ect) and game development is that with software you have a predefine

Peruse the generated art from midjourney and I think you might have a very different reaction. I am constantly in awe by what is generated using it.
