Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
This is why modding games is great. Most of the hard engine and framework stuff is already done for you, so you get to focus on content creation (the "fun" part).
Still difficult, but it requires a fraction of the time and effort that making a game from scratch would take.
weird. for me, the "hard engine and framework stuff" is the fun part, while the content creation is not boring, but just very hard for me :P
The third half is always the hardest
This is why you just change jobs every three years.
I'm so glad I made games as a hobby before I got anywhere close to graduating. Killed that dream real fast. It felt like shit having to play your own game so many times the game lost all meaning and it was hard to gauge if it was even fun anymore.
I’m also glad I did it as a hobby before I started viewing software development as a job. No code from me if there’s no money on the table.
Oh I actually love programming. I just hated writing games it turned out lmao. I love front-end development especially.
This. I started with 2d browser games. Turns out that was way too much work for me and landed in front end. I'm totally enjoying it now
Interestingly it's becoming more common to use front end technologies like React in AAA games, for things like in-game menus, and development tools.
Don't tempt me
I did something similar. I would get about as far as writing the interesting mechanic/game logic and then give up.
Just release unfinished DLC for $35, release a "definitive version" even though that was only the first half of the DLC, release the even more unfinished second half of the DLC and still leave a bunch of shit from the base game unexplained. Yeah I'm still salty about something, how'd you know?
You don't, you just release it as is and call it Early Access
Its a "LiVe SeRvIcE"
