Tutorials are great for learning but they’re terrible as a portfolio strategy.

Studios want to see decisions, problem-solving, and scope when recruiting.

That was normal back then.

It doesn’t exist now and a lot of advice ignores that shift.

Most game dev advice fails today because the industry changed and the advice didn’t.

What advice do you think is most outdated?
