Today I taught my #Blender class how to set up lighting for product rendering, and although it doesn’t look too exciting I think the result was good

#Devruary Day 10: How do you usually plan a game dev project?
I often make checklists and sketches on physical paper and white boards, and I also prototype the game.
I also use the projects feature on GitHub to track tasks 
Not quite sure what I made with one of my students in #Blender today... But it's something 
#Devruary Day 18: Which game dev inspires you most?
I'm really inspired by the developers behind No Man's Sky, Hello Games. They never gave up on their game after a failed launch, and made free updates for 10 years turning it into an amazing game today! 
#Devruary Day 16: What feature almost broke your game?
Moving things in pixels per second almost broke our game... When testing the game at 120fps everything moved in double time, so I had to add extra math to each line of code to calculate frame rate 
#Devruary Day 12: What tool or plugin saves you the most time in game dev? The Node Wrangler Plug-in for Blender saves me loads of time setting up materials! You just select your textures and with one click of a button they're all connected and set up! 
#Devruary Day 10: What's your least favorite part of game dev?
Ngl, although I can do it, coding is the least enjoyable part of game dev to me 
Even with visual scripting tools it can be hard... Pictured some code from my game Rivet
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
#Devruary Day 9: What's your favorite part of game dev? As I've mentioned before, I love being able to create my own worlds to explore! 
I also really like sound design, it's a fun way to add a lot of detail to the experience.
