I assume you've seen this, but just in case:

Unity doing 25% staff layoffs -- ouch, terrible for everyone involved. Even the ones that aren't laid off, still sucks.

And yes, the company did grow too big and too fast, but that is leadership fault, not the folks being laid off right now :(

Press reports that the outgoing CEO (you know, the captain, the guy in charge, the person who made all the choices that got them where they are) will get $10,000,000 over the course of 2024 for doing... nothing (well, no more harm is another way to look at it, I guess).

Gee, $10,000,000 / 1,800 people is about $5,500 / person. I think that money is going to the wrong guy.

Sometimes I wonder - is ANYTHING easy? 🤔

@dancinyogi

I have long believed it is all easy, if someone else has to do it.

I'm going through some old code because I'm adding ECS to my game engine. So decided to grab an old simple game with low lines of code I had to test it. 90% of the code I'm like WTF!!

@djlink

Humbling, isn't it? I always tell my students to choose names, structures, and comments as though the next guy to read it has never seen it before and has no idea how it works or what it does. Then I tell them that, in six months, the next guy will probably be them.

lol this could have been an OR || operation instead of a loop. this code is ~15y old, pls don't judge me.

@djlink

Could it? Can't see the rest of the loop, but if both Key_Left and Key_A are down, whatever happens when stick[left] is true will happen twice, won't it?

@djlink

Heh. We've all written code that doesn't make us proud. Most of us will again, too. Can be harder to learn to get it right, even hard to encourage others. I got a friend to switch from Version 1 here to Version 2, but he just won't use Version 3.

Trying out different building designs

@lisyarus

These are looking pretty good. What are you working with?

Professor_Stevens,
@Professor_Stevens@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@lisyarus

Your own engine? That's impressive.

What I wanted to know about was if you were using any product to create the buildings. Are they also all made from scratch?

I loved this series until the one that killed all your previous progress. Wasn't going to play the whole thing over again.
