For me as a developer, I feel Apple's Mac App Store sucks. And it's probably the same for iOS. Discoverability on Apple's Mac App Store is horrible. I released a game earlier this year on the Mac App Store and while it's

I think if people are interested in game dev, it’s probably a better idea to work as a contractor doing boring business apps for income and then do games as a side project. If you get lucky with a game, perhaps can ditch the contractor job,

I think it’s VR and 3D in that you can choose to develop 3D apps and games on Desktop systems without VR headset or you can choose to target 3D headsets or both. By disabling the headset module (lovr.graphics.headset = false) the app functi

From what I understand it's made by different people, but the LÖVR API tries to stay close to the design of the LÖVE API. It can work well for non-VR apps as well by just disabling the headset module.

I've been using Xamarin Forms a lot in the last 3 years or so and I like the framework. However, Visual Studio for Mac is a royal pain in the ass. I wonder if this is just my experience (maybe some weird config settings in my project o

I'd say it's also just not fun. For example setting up a product page on Steam and the iOS AppStore is just a royal pain for me, and I would think most developers would feel the same. It's much more fun to code.
