C++ Strategy Game Programming: Ridiculous Space Battles code video #2
YouTube video by Positech Games C++ Strategy Game Programming: Ridiculous Space Battles code video #2

New programming video! This is the second one in my series about programming a PC strategy game from scratch in C++ using directx. This one is all about where the code starts, and the flow of the code into the main game loop. Enjoy! And share/like/whatever :D. youtu.be/_rrH6MPrPGM

Considering making a series of videos about the programming behind Ridiculous Space Battles. I code from scratch in C++, no unity, my own engine using directx9. I use Visual Studio and irrklang for sound. Thats about it. I need to remind myself it *does not matter* if not many people are interested!

I am really enjoying Parcel Simulator! I played up until 2 AM playing it, I have not done that in a long long time :)

This is a solo project?! Is this your first game?

I had forgotten how much progress I had made with this little project =) I have been deep in engine code rewriting the transform system, sometimes I need a visual. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #solodev #customgameengine #screenshotsaturday

I know difficult to answer but any rough estimate of how many hours you have spent working on the game?

Viv is 100% correct here. Your options are always one of three:

1. Do not make an indie game.
2. Get funding, usually by making something that fits a very narrow and useless definition of "safe", and subsequently losing agency over your production reality.
3. Have another income or means.
