I agree, it's like clothes, sometimes it is appropriate to dress up if you want people to view what you are saying through a certain lens, wether that is wearing gold cufflinks to your job as a banker or wearing a hoodie to your job at Facebook it all signals something. Computer games are a visual medium, where aesthetics is very important, I'm not sure I would want to signal that I don't care about aesthetics to my audience, presumably quite a few of whom will be designer/programmer/artists type people (whatever you call front end in game dev).
- Tomte 4y agoTim Sweeney is a game development legend. He could put handwriting on these slides and people would read it. Did HN's reverence for John Carmack drop because he dabbled in rockets, instead of doing "proper programming"? Stars can afford to be eccentric. I wouldn't recommend slides like these to a normal game developer giving a speech. But it's preposterous to claim that it might hurt Tim Sweeney in any way.
