A punchy tricolon containing 2 analogies that don’t quite make sense. That’s some S-tier AI-mimicking. Nice!

Btw this is basically Replit's entire product (replit.com). Costs some money but the UX is pretty good

Crazy how much bigger modern games are … I wonder how many total pixels were shipped in the art assets of Warcraft 2 vs. StarCraft 2? My guess is at least 4 orders of magnitude hig…

That seems very far away. My understanding is that these PETases digest plastic VERY slowly and need human engineering efforts to digest it in any appreciable amount of time (hours…

Elixir is the closest thing to OCaml that has a chance at semi-mainstream usage IMO. It has basically all of the stuff about functional programming that makes it easier to reason a…

If the "check"/offline payment bounces, I wonder if it's the merchant that is out the money? Or is there any assurance from anyone else, like maybe the network would go halfsies? E…

But you can heal 3 masks of damage in about the same amount of time it takes to heal 1 mask in HK ...

Interesting! Can you explain how this works? (economics noob over here)

I tried to use Teal before and had some issues even getting it to compile ... but the Lua language server actually has pretty good type checking. Another option is https://typescri…

You'd be hard pressed to find console support for much less than that - compare it with Unity or GameMaker's console support tier and you'll find it's pretty similar. It can take h…

If you just want static typing, you can write Typescript and compile to Lua: https://typescripttolua.github.io/

They recently added C# support: https://forum.defold.com/t/defold-c-support/79479

Sorry to hear about your situation. Since you're in Utah, I'm going to suggest you find a bishop to ask for help. Even if you don't belong to the LDS church, I _think_ they might b…

Interesting to hear your experience with Rust. I’ve also been working on a game project for a long time, but in Unity. It’s bothered me for a long time that I have to be so reliant…

Thanks for the in depth answer! Good luck with the recovery - hopefully the game has left your financials in a good enough spot that you don’t have to worry about the next project …

Unity is kind of the default, worth trying out at least. I’ve been using it for 6+ years for money-making hobby projects. It’s not without its problems, but there are a lot of perk…

> I realise you can make games in any language/engine It's actually a bit more constrained than people realize ... Well, for desktop, you can literally use anything. But for mobile…

If you look on the Steam page it's Raw Fury. Steam is just the storefront. A game publisher's role varies a lot - sometimes they're just financing the project, usually they handle …

Amazing work! Questions: - How/why did you decide to talk to a publisher? When in the process did you feel like you had a good enough prototype to do that? - What have been the pro…

My 2c having released both premium and free apps on iOS and Android: premium apps do not sell. People don’t want to fork over any amount of money just to try an app that they may o…

Microsoft had significant antitrust penalties back in the early 2000s due to windows/IE. The other 3 all have antitrust lawsuits currently going. Google’s is just the furthest alon…

There’s a similar antitrust lawsuit against Apple: https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-5119948/a-look-at-the-d... These things take a long time, though. I think the Apple one is j…
