Noel BerryI've been making video games in some form for 20 years, so I wrote an article about my process - and why I don't use an engine.
Alex Camilleri@noelfb this is a lovely writeup. I've used custom engines (in mid-sized teams) for the past 8 years and the benefits are often quite obvious. For solo projects I always defaulted to Game Maker because of "I just want something playable real quick", now I'm using Godot for a project with a friend but I would love to give this a go. It just sounds like a lot of fun.
@alexkalopsia thanks Alex! yeah I think sometimes, when you just want to experiment with an idea quickly, tools like Game Maker and Godot can be fantastic :)
