You don't even need to be a big success like the previously mentioned Undertale, Rocket League or Ark. For small teams there's an extremely viable middle ground between the game not selling anything and it going huge.

When using LÖVE you have to write a lot of stuff in pure Lua because LÖVE is a framework and not an engine. So, for instance, if you wanna do AI you have to write everything about it yourself (without calling any of LÖVE's functions be

This is a really interesting and well reasoned comment. I'm not gonna try to refute most of it because I actually agree with a bunch of it. But I just wanted to point out that different artistic mediums behave differently. For instance

Twitter itself does not encourage creators who want to share content that much. I don't know if this is a problem with media integration (as mentioned in the article) or with the types of people who use Twitter, but as a creator of any

I agree with both him and you. But I think part of his point is that often times HN comments tend to focus on kind of irrelevant stuff. I'm the author of this post and the top comment here bothered me a bit because it has nothing to do

This really depends on the game you're making. Some games don't call for super purposeful layouts because the fun comes from things other than your surroundings making a lot of sense. As long as they generally look believable it&#

This assumes every other civilization thinks like humanity does. While there may be many that do, there may be many that don't. And it seems that humanity's progress points towards a direction where people are much more peaceful t

I agree with you but what you're saying still holds true only for PC gaming (Steam) but not for mobile.

One of the point of subreddits is to let people create their own rules (whatever those rules might be) and enforce them at their own discretion. As long as people aren't breaking reddit's global rules then subreddits should have t

There are moderators that moderate over 200 subreddits. I'm not willing to call that infiltration (moderation is a hard job to do and it happens that few people are interested in it, which means finding someone reliable is hard, which

For a higher level language (I use Lua) I prefer a more loose type of system where I skip the part of creating components and putting them in a list and just inject methods/attributes to my objects directly in the form of mixins. At th

This "huge win" depends heavily on what you're making. If you're making simple games where performance is not that much of a problem (like most indie games) then moving to entity/component systems makes no sense and

As a dev myself who has an input system that supports stuff like this I can have the opinion that anyone who doesn't do it is lazy, because it didn't take me that much time at all to get it working. >There's no such thing
