    Update (02/21/2021) Sidetracked but still developing... No progress on my game. However, I've spent the fast few weeks making a prototype game to show my day job and what I could do. I even got a direct message from a Creative Director expressing how cool it was that I did this showcasing...

    IDEA

    In a restrictive contract. Should I leave or stay?

    QUESTION 
    I think the same way (although I'm obviously not an employer yet.) Why not just add a "Right of First Refusal" for things that's not blatantly stealing a prior companies work? Mine isn't I wrote all the code, create art, animation, and design myself. If the contract had that in it, I'd gladly...

    In a restrictive contract. Should I leave or stay?

    QUESTION 
    I'm currently working on software (a game) but I work in that very same industry. Like most in my industry we sign a PIIA agreement which essentially makes anything we create up for grabs by the company we're currently employed for. This prevents moonlighting and all that. While this wasn't a...

    Update (12/27/2021) The game is coming along well. So far I've written over 847 lines of code across 9 separate .cs files and 5 scriptable objects. 90% of the code is in the .cs files since the scriptable objects are basically just data containers. All basic sprites are done. Most need...

    Way ahead of you. As I already mentioned above. Currently, I'm involved in that space already. This project is not going to be and it doesn't have to be. It's a small casual game. Also, many are hostile towards games with that mechanic as seen in recent tweets below and their responses. So...

    Update (12/12/2021) It's been a few weeks so I'll write a much needed update. I've learned how to architect a game using 3 design patterns that has made my code much easier to manage and scale as I develop. I've even learned how to use Scriptable Objects based on feedback from an Engineer I...

    Update (11/18/21) Still struggling with getting the game architecture and getting this core game loop working. Thoughts of quitting has popped in my head but I won't. This game is very simple but believe it or not getting the idea to come alive with Unity and C# is quite difficult. I will...

    Thanks! My goals and project have changed since the original post. Partly due to some good suggestions in here that I disregarded at first. I wish I could edit that post. Anyhow Post 63 should be the starting point if anyone wants to be up-to-date with what I'm doing.

    Yes, I know and agree and I'm involved in that space more than I can mention here. I cannot enter that space right now. Another note: The biggest game selling platform has banned NFT games and anything blockchain related. This isn't a normal gold rush...

    You are correct to a degree and I know and have done some things in the space. This gold rush is quite different because there is tons of opposition. The cash grab nature and environmental costs. Everyone is racing there and I will be doing the opposite. Creating a game designed around basic...

    Tinnitus thread

    HOT! HEALTH 
    Tinnitus surprised me one December night when it caused me to wake up from my sleep a few years ago. I didn't know what it was and started having panic attacks and it only got louder. It drove me to depression for days. I changed my diet (more whole foods & plant based) and drank more water...
