Unpopular #GameDev opinion that you actually believe? 🤔
I'll go first:
Most games don't need procedural generation, in fact it can make the game seem "cheap" if it's too big a part of the whole effort.

Your turn.

Easiest #GameDev optimization?
Simply dont abuse Update().
Do question when code actually need to run and reduce frequency. #IndieDev
Feeling bad about the #GameDev project you never finished?
Don't! ❌
More likely that not, you learned a lot working on it 💡
Look at what you gained and focus on what it taught you, not what it didn't become.
Turns out not using one of these for more than a decade makes you a complete noob. Just tried some Rocket League with it, wow am I bad 😂
