How do you deal with burnout? #Devruary

Honestly? Just... step away. Stop coding.

The irony is that as a game dev, I rarely have time to actually PLAY games anymore. So when burnout hits, I try to play games that are nothing like what I'm developing.

#Devruary What engine are you using in your current game? Unity! It has been my go-to tool for years now. It gets the job done and I know my way around it pretty well. But if Godot keeps walking by with that big open-source energy... 👀

✨ Dev log time! Starting a series of bite-sized game dev tips and tricks. First up: OnValidate(), perfect for lazy devs like me who want things to clean up automagically 😎 #unity #gamedev #indiedev #csharp #programming

What feature almost broke your game? #Devruary Hack'n'slash combat system. College project. Peak overconfidence meets peak inexperience.

The feature died so the game could live (barely). Lesson learned: scope management is a SKILL.

Time to dig up some bones from the past!

This is my first devlog ever, and I’m diving into the remake of the game I made for my college capstone. Come check it out and see how I’m upgrading it with everything I’ve learned since then!

Hey everyone! I said I’d be back with more game dev tips, and here I am! This time, I brought something special to help you promote your work online and reach a bigger audience!

Decided to give an old model a new life with some fresh renders! This is a model I originally made back in 2016 for a university project in Maya, and now it's glowing up with the power of the open-source gods (thanks, Blender 🙏). #3DArt #Blender

How Do You Usually Plan A Game Dev Project? #Devruary First, I dump ideas into a paper notebook like a game dev from the stone age. Then I tame the chaos using draw.io, Hack'n'Plan, and Notion. This pipeline works pretty well for me!

#GJAsks Hide and Shriek deserves SO much more attention! I'm not the type to play multiplayer games, but GOD I can't stress enough how much fun I had playing this game. The concept and the gameplay itself are so simple, but they work SO. FREAKING. WELL.

Which game dev inspires you most? #Devruary

Scott Cawthon. The man took a simple mechanic and iconic characters and created a CULTURAL PHENOMENON.

Don't agree with everything he stands for, but his creativity as a dev is undeniable.

What’s the biggest dev mistake you’ve made? #Devruary Not leaving doomed projects sooner, skipping version control early on, and... GetComponent() in Update(). I wasn't born a coding genius, okay?? And I guess we've all been there, right?? ...RIGHT??
