Related but kinda not, knowing what you know now, what would you recommend an indie starting today do to have the best chance at success? Be an interesting blog post from the legend

Why do you think so many people, especially devs, seem so against AI? I don’t get it. It’s coming and it’s pennant going to be great.

I want to get replaced by AI and then be begged to come back

As a fan of you I am glad you seem to be FOR AI and not against it. I don't understand the hate/resistance to it. I think the cool kids would use the term "forced", I consider it "forced".

C++ Strategy Game Programming: Ridiculous Space Battles code video #2 YouTube video by Positech Games

New programming video! This is the second one in my series about programming a PC strategy game from scratch in C++ using directx. This one is all about where the code starts, and the flow of the code into the main game loop. Enjoy! And share/like/whatever :D. youtu.be/_rrH6MPrPGM

Considering making a series of videos about the programming behind Ridiculous Space Battles. I code from scratch in C++, no unity, my own engine using directx9. I use Visual Studio and irrklang for sound. Thats about it. I need to remind myself it *does not matter* if not many people are interested!

I am really enjoying Parcel Simulator! I played up until 2 AM playing it, I have not done that in a long long time :)

This is a solo project?! Is this your first game?

I had forgotten how much progress I had made with this little project =) I have been deep in engine code rewriting the transform system, sometimes I need a visual. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #solodev #customgameengine #screenshotsaturday

Viv is 100% correct here. Your options are always one of three:

1. Do not make an indie game.
2. Get funding, usually by making something that fits a very narrow and useless definition of "safe", and subsequently losing agency over your production reality.
3. Have another income or means.
