Been down this road many times: - UI toolkit is cross platform (cough cough Qt, or Altia, or Crank) and runs great on the UX developer's x86 box. The UX guy loves fancy CSS transitions. - Graphic assets are delivered in 32bit RGBA and the data cache chokes on the massive bit maps. And the cheap LCD is 565BGR so the CPU is constantly mixing channels. Then we discover the hardware has no alpha blending capability. More software load. - Hardware gets cost reduced. Or the flagship platform gets the beefy CPU and the consumer versions get a Rockchip. - RAM gets downsized or the project grows out of bounds and now we're blitting from QSPI flash. - The whole system runs in JavaScript because that's what they can get out of the overseas development team, or it's too expensive to buy 2 more Qt seat licenses (or whatever the hell they want now. I think we're up to first-born children) It all repeats, over and over.
