Games

I was once building a game where a dinky little neon space fighter zips around the field shooting down enemies that spawn in until the boss. Everything was going great, the engine was handling large number speeds, the parallax background I custom coded with an rng star map worked perfect, right up until I tried to implement enemy tracking of the player: that shit would not work no matter how hard I tried.

I was about to share the old demo for you dudes to try but looks like I've lost the .pck file associated with the Godot executable or the embedded pck is no longer recognized.

But other media said that coding is as simple as asking couple of question on chat.

I wish my clients would understand that, and my code is a lot simpler than a video game.

if it takes you 6 months to add a new fundamental game mechanic then thats understandable

if it takes you 6 months to remove an unnecessary popup then youre incompetent. (looking at you, Hunt Showdown)

Half a year's work takes 6 months? I had no idea

For Palworld, a new island takes 6 months, per the article. Probably talking about Sakurajima and the big southern one. That makes sense, since it's not just putting stuff there and calling it a day on the first finished thing, some level design has to happen so the place makes sense and doesn't feel super boring to explore.
