Just out of interest, how many serious unity devs have you talked to?
- DonHopkins 6mo agoI've talked to some non-serious unity devs, like Peter Molyneux... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47110605 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47110605 >1h 48m 06s, with arms spread out like Jesus H Christ on a crucifix: "Because we can dynamically put on ANY surface of the cube ANY image we like. So THAT's how we're going to surprise the world, is by giving clues about what's in the middle later on." https://youtu.be/24AY4fJ66xA?t=6486 https://youtu.be/24AY4fJ66xA?t=6486 Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Moo! https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/the-i-curiosity-i-experiment-and-the-church-of-peter-molyneux https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/the-i-curiosity-i-exper... >"I'm jealous that [Molyneux] made a more boring clicking game than I did." -Ian Bogost >"I also think Curiosity was brilliant and inspired. But that doesn't make it any less selfish or brazen. Curiosity was not an experiment. 'Experiment' is a rhetorical ruse meant to distract you from the fact that it's promotional." -Ian Bogost
- mjr00 6mo agoMolyneux is obviously a well-known gamedev figure, but he's always been much more on the design side than programming side, as opposed to someone like Carmack or even J Blow. I wouldn't take his opinions on minutiae like coroutines as authoritative.
