Sharing stories and educational content for game developers. Check out my Podcast:

I'm curious if it would interest some #gamedev #indiedev to see a devlog that shows the entire Hyper Casual game development process (even if the game was not successful) - coming up with the idea, development iteration, etc.

[Moonlight Game Devs @devs_moonlight]

@eric81766 I think the other angle is that ECS games that are running complex phyiscs simulations wouldn't work without ECS, while being significantly more interesting and marketable. You can see that on mobile right now. So I wouldnt dismiss ECS as a prof. indie....

[Moonlight Game Devs @devs_moonlight]

@walaber Looks awesome :) know you are using ECS, are you combining it with the old system? What has been your experience?

[Moonlight Game Devs @devs_moonlight]

@danthat Interesting, looking forward to listening to it :)

God bless @KenneyNL! 🙏

Great thread for a common problem in game dev programming

[Ido Yehieli @tametick]

game devs: let's say you have a lot (100+) things of the same type (say magic spells in an RPG). What would you prefer:
1. a class for each, extending a base Spell class
2. a Spell class with a SpellType enum and the Cast() function has a big-ass switch w. case for each spell

[Moonlight Game Devs @devs_moonlight]

Are you thinking of switching to Unreal Engine 5 from Unity? #gamedev #indiedeveloper

[Moonlight Game Devs @devs_moonlight]

@TonyManfredonia @SnutiHQ Really cool, keep it up :)

@SplattrCatGames Background removal apps are so good these days it's not even THAT big of a problem anymore...

@JonasTyroller walked up the stairs and got this (could be browser specific though)

If there is one Unity asset pack that saved me the most time, it has to be @_moremountains topdown shooter pack. I use it in EVERY project - it has tons of examples and utility scripts that i can't do without. Highly recommend!

[Moonlight Game Devs @devs_moonlight]

@joakim_a Working with a publisher has been a great time-saver for me in this regard, as someone developing HC games part-time - that said, I'm still missing out some valuable knowledge by relying on someone else for UA of course, so this is a great insight!

https://t.co/fUORW5ltOv Had a chat with @mechatodzilla on how he published his first game, among many other things! Very pleasant, inspirational chat, hope it motivates some folks out there. #gamedev #indiedev
