YouTube video by Zakerias Rowland-Jones Time Commanders - Battle of Teutoberg Forest

Crazy how I loved Decisive Battles on the History Channel, but never heard of Time Commanders. They both used Rome: Total War for visuals.

Amazing concept!

✅ Priorities straight

Too true

Neat! Unity? If so, new or old input system and why? :)

Been silent for a while on here, working on assets, new as well as updates. Hope you all are having a great summer! 💚🌞 #indiedev

Unpopular #GameDev opinion that you actually believe? 🤔
I'll go first:
Most games don't need procedural generation, in fact it can make the game seem "cheap" if it's too big a part of the whole effort.

Your turn #IndieDev

Interested as well, following! Haven't come up with any solution I really like myself.

Made a bunch of sound effects for this project last year. Demo released today. Quite fun Vampire Survivors-like.

Love to see this, what libraries are you using from graphics?

Know the struggle! Good job, keep going 💪

Feeling bad about the #GameDev project you never finished?
Don't! ❌
What I wrote about #running applies here too.
More likely that not, you learned a lot working on it 💡
Look at what you gained and focus on what it taught you, not what it didn't become.

Feels great to be back #running! First two 10Ks in more than 6 months last week. A great thing I realized these past years is to feel OK about breaks. You'll have one, sooner or later.

I'm still a much better runner now, than if I had never ran to being with. Realize the positive things ☀️🏃‍♂️

Second easiest #GameDev optimization? Save values that you need again later. More often than not, there is an abundance in memory, not CPU time.
Cache those calculations! #IndieDev

Excellent, thanks for the feedback! 🙌

Thanks! Unfortunately I haven't been able to test with that app, but I made a change to the date generation which might have fixed it (all times are set to 12:00 GMT+2 for now since I only used dates before)!
Let me know if it helped 😊

Easiest #GameDev optimization?
Simply dont abuse Update().
Do question when code actually need to run and reduce frequency. #IndieDev

Hmm interesting. Works well for me using 'Feeder', but I'll look into it! What reader are you using?

All posts, present and future - are now also available via RSS!

Thanks to @landeaudio.com for suggesting it! 💡

Added RSS now!

Seems to be working, let me know if there's any problems though. Again, thanks for suggesting it 🎉

Yep, to be honest these are quite easy optimization measures but they do wonders on performance. You really should, it's relatively easy and so worth it! Thanks a lot man ☺️

Looking forward to hearing what you think!

Actually I had that on my mind when I first started it, but was unsure about the usage of RSS these days. Now that you ask for it, I'll certainly get on it. Thanks for the suggestion! 😃

The joy of realizing I had missed two episodes (about mongols!) from @fallofcivspod.bsky.social

Absolutely brightened a full day of gardening🍃 Such an amazing and unique podcast. Thanks @paulmmcooper.bsky.social

Writing an article about general game code optimization, anything specific that'd be particularly useful to you in or something that'd be a shame to miss? 🤔 #IndieDev #GameDev

Haven't used one of these in almost a decade, time to experiment with the "new" #Unity3D input system. Wow am I rusty 😅 #IndieDev #GameDev
