  • Saw videos/articles online that this was the “end of gamedev” or whatever.

    While patents for games are shit, theyve been around a long time and are hard to enforce. Palworld made it incredibly easy for one of the most ruthless companies to go after them. I expected they waited to see the final game before taking action, and until palworld made a ridiculous amount of money.

    I’ve worked on Pokemon clones that are commercially available, and while they didn’t sell as much as palworld, they took a bit more care designing around stuff





  • That’s the toolbox fallacy. “If only i had good running shoes I would be motivated to run.”.

    1. Youre swapping motivation for anxiety, guilt and frustration. Youre better off paying someone on fiver to shout at you.

    2. You won’t survive programming if you can’t get through this part. It doesn’t stop taking effort after you’ve learned the basics.

    3. The tutor won’t make it painless, or make it go faster really, and people just end up being agry at the tutor.

    You’re much better off joining a community/discord of people learning the same thing, or finding a project/thing you care for, and using common motivational tricks. With youtube/Twitch, it’s easier than ever to find people to help you.
