If the parent's main point is that indie game developers, on average, don't make tons of money, he's right: https://twitter.com/GreyAlien/status/1227557601786912769

I did? Both on the store page and in my email replies. Most people were understanding though some weren't. However, those dollars you seem anxious I don't give up still didn't really cover the time investment of dealing wit

I suppose I can only speak for myself but I don't see that as an attractive option, and what you're describing is mostly what I did do for the game release I mentioned. If I sell on Windows (I do) and Mac (I do) then I have to sup

I published my first Steam game on Linux as well as Windows and MacOS, but I don't think I'll do it again because for a single person developer (as indie as it gets) the time spent supporting Linux doesn't pay off. Within day

For the indie computer games I make I work with a number of localisation freelancers and it's fantastic to see the creativity of people who love games and love language. My current game[0] for instance is a game with lots of made up mo

I've been sitting in an Ikea Marcus (not the leather one) every work day since 2016 and I find it very uncomfortable. I like the mesh back but I'm 6'2 and find it just too rigid for me. I went and tried a few cheapo Staples c

About the headrest: how tall are you, and does the Atlas headrest raise up to support your head proper? I'm tall and I like a headrest on my chair, but I would prefer not to have a headrest if it only came up to the top of my neck when

My poor 2015 MacBook Air with FireFox went full 100% CPU on this page, I think it's the gifs. I think Factorio itself actually runs better on this laptop than that Factorio blog post does.

What about creating music so that the people who enjoy it will enjoy it? I don't create music but I appreciate the bands and songwriters that make the stuff I really like. That's not about self-validation for you, the author, that

No, Stripe take their cut and the tax implications are down to the seller. However! They did recently acquire TaxJar ( https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/taxjar ) so I imagine things will become easier in this regard,

Unreal actually already has an automatic LOD creation system ( https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/WorkingWithContent/... ), and there are quite a number of 3d Content middleware solutions that run this so

I think what Enginerrrd is calling psychotic is that there's no way to, as you say, "make someone part of the same tribe" without employing a great deal of force to coerce (and crush) people.

I heard pastor/theologian John Piper recently say something like (this is my paraphrase): "The only way I can possibly be totally satisfied for an eternity, is in the presence of the infinitely good God." One of the biggest i

Thanks for looking that up for me! It was something I had been thinking about.

How much better is the cost per payment for one of Stripe's big customers? It's 2.9% + $0.30 for most, but if a company is doing, like Postmates are, millions of dollars or tens of millions of dollars in sales volume, what sort of

What are people from the community here going to start to learn for the first time this year? I'd be interested on hearing a range of different plans; creative, personal, business, technical and so on.

An a full-time indie game developer what I find fascinating is that Steam do the opposite of this. The more you make, the less you pay Steam, but the thresholds are in the millions. If you make more than $50 million then Steam take 20% not

What cebert is saying, and what I absolutely agree with, is that if the copy on the website itself contains bad or clumsy English, then I'm not going to explore the samples themselves. I have to perform a few double-takes as I read the

Oh no! That's awful. I'm still on Windows 7 and I moved to a Logitech keyboard that I prefer - but while I don't think I'm going to try any other Razer products in the future I'm aware many other hardware companies

A few years ago, I made the mistake of installing the utility software that came with my new Razor keyboard - I thought it was some special driver thing - and I had to make a new account and sign in? It's a keyboard.

A semi-related question; what is the current 'correct way' to package up Python projects and all their dependencies as native executables for Windows/OSX/Linux? I haven't done any desktop Python since 2.5 and then i

I know I watch YouTube because there's a handful of specific channels whose content I really enjoy, and those channels are based on YouTube primarily because their audience - or potential audience - is there. That sort of established,

Absolutely. One more additional thing: the latest back-track has been the URP-is-not-a-standalone-package anymore, URP package versions going forward are going to be tied to a specific Editor version. I imagine this is going to make the abi

I really, really wish it did. Here's just one concrete example: real-time point-light shadows in the Universal Render Pipeline. URP is the new 'default' way of rendering, the old renderer is being phased out, this is the new

Like some others who are commenting, I use Unity for my job every day, and it's not been a great experience these last few years, each 'part' (graphics pipelines, documentation, Editor and tooling, and so on) has been steadil
