Replying to @GamewithDave
Just finished exporting a new trailer to celebrate our launch date for leaving Early Access after 10+ years! We're launching Signs of Life on November 9th, and technically this is the first announcement of that!

You used to be able to just create a Native GUI App in 10 seconds. No Electron, no Game Engines, no Web frameworks. Just a lean fast .EXE produced in seconds. Works on any Windows machine WITHOUT Internet connection. Software Development is actually going backwards.

The practice of creating a 'vertical slice' makes games shallower because it requires that your game be a horizontal string of content chunks. If your game is a deep mesh of systems, vertical slicing works about as well as on a car engine or a baby.

This is very big because potentially it means people can get back to making indie custom engine games without having to write their own Vulkan+Metal+DX12+console API abstraction.

there's this weird opinion I keep seeing where some people seem to think making a custom game engine is some kind of impossible task for insane people, equivalent to trying to build a space station in your backyard

Why game devs are best: Worked for several days on a workaround for nasty engine related bug without progress🪲. Unity even marked the issue as "won't fix"😭 It almost broke me. My last hope: A years old forum entry of a dev of a huge popular game (1/2)

Turns out, if you teach an entire generation of programmers to “never reinvent wheels”, you get an entire generation of programmers who are unable to invent new & better wheels, or who are incapable of maintaining the wheels that already exist

"don't recreate the wheel" this phrase in software has caused more problems than it solved
