Starting out indie gamedev. Also product manager, graphic designer and SWE

[Saar Raz @saarraz1]

One of the first things I learned about #gamedev - level design is HARD

To learn it, I recreated #NeonWhite and started making my own levels for it!

I've found that starting your 3D level in 2D makes it a lot easier!

Read about it in my first post:

@Dadsaysjokes Well, shit!

@Cor3ntin How do you keep basil alive? They always die on me 😔

[Saar Raz @saarraz1]

@Cor3ntin If you're close to being finished, you can email Tom and ask to cherry pick late (I did that with Concepts back in the day)

[Saar Raz @saarraz1]

@Cor3ntin Awesome! 😁

@anaismitchell ... they just don't. As if my design skills are somehow external to me & I need to find ways to probe them and get them to reveal the right thing when that doesn't happen right away, do you feel that way too? How do you work your creative mind when it doesn't give in right away?

[Saar Raz @saarraz1]

@anaismitchell Just finished (and started) hearing your book this week! I found it very inspiring and relatable; I also do some creative work (mostly graphic design) and often feel as though sometimes the designs "write themselves" or just come fully formed in my head and sometimes...

My brother (not a programmer, not on twitter) is an excellent artist. Been practicing for at least 40 years now.

He's known in his area and regularly sells water colors at exhibitions. He also recently started posting to Instagram.

everyone should write a C++ compiler in order to love the language properly 🙃

[Saar Raz @saarraz1]

I do wonder if I ever find a job that would make me feel content, and whether the side projects won't feel necessary anymore when that happens, or whether I'm justin the sort of thing person who's never going to be content with a day job

[Saar Raz @saarraz1]

I often envy people who are content enough with their 9-5 to not have the need for side projects.. I've always felt this need

[Tae’lur Alexis @TaelurAlexis]

If you’re a developer and don’t want to work on side projects outside of your 9-5, I fully freaking understand that. If you just want to do your job and then go home and like sleep or take care of your family then I fully support that too.

[Saar Raz @saarraz1]

@__tom_peters__ 😅. I've actually always considered my side projects to be my greatest achievements and the source of most my knowledge.

@peppedx @LesleyLai6 My mother always told me: "There's no such thing as time, there's only priorities"

Next Friday at 10:00 US MT, 18:00 CET, (5:00 Saturday NZT) I'll be live streaming porting Doom from pure C to C++.

https://t.co/xkV3d4KtfA

The first goal is just to get it compiling. I'll be live for however long that takes!

@AdiShavit Just used argh for a project, loved it 😍

[Core C++ @corecpp]

Wow! Less than a year after @blelbach suggested forming an Israeli national body for @isocpp, our diligent and enterprising members have set it up!!

Congratulations to all involved including @InbarLavi @regev_ran @IronicAlgo @danraviv1 @avilachmish @YehezkelShB et al.
