Unity and Unreal are giant resource-hungry game engines. There are plenty of people making games who only need a fraction of what those two provide. Engines like Stride and Godot -- or any number of other smaller engines -- can be easier to

Sure, it covers whatever you want it to cover. The interface is fine. It’s the ability to build your own data model that is what makes it powerful, especially because you can iterate so quickly, even after you’ve started using it.

The best task tracking system I've worked with is one that I created in about 30 minutes of thinking through the business domain and then wiring up a blank Airtable base to represent what I needed to know. With kanban, gantt, and table

Unity is a giant download and very complicated. Something like DragonRuby, Renpy, Python Arcade, or LOVE2D are far smaller and suitable for many small games. Even Godot is significantly smaller and offers many of the features of Unity.

It’s laughable and potentially dangerous but also just available to 2k people, from whom it is revoked if the interior camera shows they aren’t paying attention. Musk is the first person to say “be careful” when using it. The article is kin

The "no core" note is a good explanation but also points to the exact reason why folks coming from other creative coding ecosystems might need help resetting their expectations. Thanks!

I've used Processing extensively, including toxilibs, and follow the creative coding community relatively closely. When I look at projects like openFrameworks or libcinder or Processing/p5.js, it's pretty clear to me both wha

This is a good light read. Working in game dev, I found some of his thoughts around prototyping, production, and design to be insightful and gladly would have read more of those. I also would gladly have read more about Sid Meier's CPU

I'm not sure that's unique to military, diplomacy, or other itinerant careers. Staying in the same place but switching jobs every 2-4 years can have the same impact, especially when it comes to "feeling the itch to move on.&q

There's a huge international market of potential app users that tolerate ads but would never pay to purchase an app. Even in affluent areas, many people balk at a $0.99 app but are totally fine with ads. This, of course, is the entire

Same here, but with a 7 yr old and 9 yr old in 2nd and 4th grades. Remote learning in the Spring was nothing but time filler and extremely stressful as a parent.

I can take time off and I did last week. However, I ended up just doing pretty much the same thing as when I was working, so it was a waste. What I really need is some time completely to myself, just sitting outside or something. It's

I've used Godot to make a few 2D games and the experience was wonderful compared to Unity (for me). GDScript is similar to Python and very easy to learn. Godot also has GDNative that supports bindings to lots of other languages, so you
