I think what you're seeing is concurrency / parallelism mostly, with each being as independant as possible from each other, which allows them to run on separate threads with low synchronization overhead

I'm in a similar way and actually burned out on gamedev once by following the advice of "scope super small", but after a long break I realized I'm much more of an engine dev than gameplay dev. I really dislike building code made to be discarded.

I haven't been very vocal about it cuz life's been crazy, but I'm taking part in Jankuary tonight at 6pm EST.

Gonna be messing around with Spider-Man/X-Men: Arcade's Revenge. It's extremely memeful but has a lot of cool stuff under the hood, which I will fail to demonstrate.

Jankuary.com for info!

Castagne editor showing the frame gotten from the castagne engine

Castagne Editor now works!!! It uses IPC to allow for better UX and new possibilities (like network, customization, better crash handling...) and it was tricky.
It's fast enough, but can be improved if needed. I finally got the basics down for the project!!!

Still making progress on compiled Castagne. The editor-engine link is tricky, but I'm getting somewhere with sockets. Working on sending structures properly now, once this is done I can try sending an image for remote viewing.

I got hit by that on an indie game AFTER they fixed it lol
Previous version was locale sensitive, so it saved the config in french, then on the fixed version loaded it as english

Result: sound set to 500% instead of 5% directly to my ears lol
