@Mercules_thor@abhitwt I feel that reinventing the wheel is sometimes necessary, either for understanding or innovation. Adding to the pile with iterative improvements without reworking the foundation is how you end up with complex, bloated, and stale systems that operate past their time.
@app_settings Are we talking about the video or the OS? Because in reality the glass adds very little to the experience and doesn't even look all that good.
@szspagna@damdeuce@BenjiGameDev Agreed, without good design/art/worldbuilding/etc you have a poor RPG.
But without an understanding of programming/tools/engine/workflows you don't have a game at all.
The point is for beginners to prioritise learning those things, not to make games in genres they don't like.
@damdeuce@BenjiGameDev I think he meant "low value" for newbies. It's like designing or planning - important (and fun) but can easily become an exercise in time-wasting, especially for someone new to development who doesn't yet understand where to allocate their time.
@jaesmail Right, the software solving their problem means they are aligned through a common goal/vision and the interaction allows connections to grow and ideas to be shared.
Are you imagining the social experience being baked into the software itself?
