I stopped at Thanksgiving. As an indie dev, I am running into all the boring parts of finishing a game and each of the remaining tasks is painful, non-programming related (like art, UX, and publishing and marketing), and im working out of my own pocket (in my free time).

I want to be done with this project, but other facets of my life got bigger during the holidays. Im socializing more online, rediscovered old games, and found more satisfying things to do with my free time.

I miss just coding.

Ah thanks. Too bad they arent ready-made

What racing games are you playing?

It has its moments, but for me its too much of a sand box. Every planet feels the same. Every outpost feels the same, every npc feels the same. Theres no world building or serialized stories.

How long is a 10 year old? About 2.5 toddlers?

Even the boys?

anime

child characters

Its probably what youre thinking.

+1 for steam deck

Gta 5 would be fine. Its got some unique gamemodes with FiveM, and like 992526737373773 empty RP servers.

• Minecraft (It’s a sandbox)
• Garry’s Mod (It’s a sandbox)
• Roblox (It’s a sandbox)
• Skyrim (It’s a heavily mod-able medieval RPG)
• Portal 2 (It’s literally anything at this point: a web server, a game engine, a fucking computer, a lot is possible when the right people crack it open)

Imagine if they made SteamOS free. Its not a bad OS, and id love to rid my pc of the bloat of Windows

And much like the Steam Deck, allows more freedom than just playing games. It enables use of the computer itself unlike consoles of the past. You buy an Xbox or a PS, and youre restricted on its use.

You’re correct, its sold to appeal to console gamers though

These are the only ones I can think of as well.

Beat me to it. OP reminded me of this old gem.

I kinda get what they are saying. They want an intuitive template with good documentation. Most Unity and Unreal templates are like “here you go” with no real direction or instruction on how to use them. Or, like they said, the template is folders of folders, layers of layers.

Im sure these exist, but the more useful something is, the higher the price. I dont pay for templates, so I get what is available for free.

It goes in the square hole

My friend and I quote that all the time
