I think this might be most relatable thing I have ever posted here.

Some days you're like "It only took me an hour to implement these dope-ass laser obstacles!", but then last week, I spent half an hour debugging why my code was rotating the parent object instead of only one of its children, before I finally realized I had simply linked the wrong transform in the inspector.

Alice is the creator of this sub and is the reason it is active, just look at his/her post history.

80 20 rule applies to so many things.

"BeigeAlert1 do you have an ETA on [that one feature]." "Yes, it will be ready within 5 minutes to 18 months".

Since joining a game dev company, Iโ€™ve developed a lot of sympathy for devs who promise that some hyped feature will be delivered Soontm .

No matter how conservative my time estimates are... They always ALWAYS end up being too optimistic.

I am currently actually slightly ahead of schedule for our game update on February 28th and very, very proud of it.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Something will throw a wrench in the works soon enough.

God this should go on an indiedev scroll, for all future devs to read and learn.

Gamedev; where someone earns $50 for a game and someone else earns $50 million for the same thing just with different pictures.

This is too relatable, i made a full game for GGJ and yesterday I spent 8 hours to find a out why my raycast wouldnโ€™t hit consistently.
