this is looking super cool!!! I love the text tweens and the portraits 🥹 doing the programming + writing has really paid off for me, since I can have a pretty good idea on the cost of any new weird cutscene idea that I have haha

I think that can still work, but you have to be super mindful on where you draw the line for the abstraction layer. I use submodules for the dialogue scripting engine, the ECS framework and technically FNA for the graphics part. it's helpful to define the scope of whatever I'm debugging at the time

Our previous event - content creators trying local game dev demos

SEEKING: Web designer in Vancouver area to redesign website for local game event. We're volunteer-run, so budget is chibi and we're hoping to work with someone who is as into supporting the local gaming community as we are. Maybe a longshot, but canthurt.gif, right? 🤗

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

finally got a chance to start reading this BEST SELLER <3 by @victoriatran.bsky.social

super fun and full of examples (I very much relate to all the habbo hotel experiences). highly recommend it to anyone self-publishing a game, even if you're not directly working in community management!
