I use Linux, so not Nvidia. AMD is great. Good power for the money.
They could maybe hire some testers. If you're removing beach properties, maybe test games that have beach properties. I have no idea how this falls through the gaps.
Because MineClone2 is a dreadful name, and unfortunately, when ever anyone tries to differ anything slightly, a head can be taken clean off. The project doesn't want to be a full clone, but heavily inspired by, but with it's own direction. It needed to go.
I'm yet to spend 1 penny on MTX and any game that has them, I avoid. It has been satisfying. Indie is QQQ for me. The Q is of course quality.
No chance. Games will only grow. With so many good free engines, I cannot see people stopping making games.
I think with hardware, people bought PCs during the pandemic, and after (when GPU's became available), and after that, they had done their hardware refresh. Some of the bump from the year 2022 was likely because of people finally being able to get hold of their hardware. Because of the backlog catch up, 2023 would inevitably be a drop. Now they have a PC, the only question is whether you need a better monitor to support the hardware, and that would explain the growth of it now.
The only thing happening in the games industry is layoffs due to high interest rates. If interest rates are 2% and you make a 5% ROI, you make a profit. If interest rates are 8%, you're making a loss, so investment in games or any software ain't great at times of high interest. It'll likely bounce back as interest rates drop. I just hope more jobs are built within the indie sector rather than AAA.
Look great. Really appreciating the work you are doing and you sharing it with us.
Most of those communities seem to have a header that divides it from the community above, but with the godot one, there is less contrast. Would it help to have a small padded divider of a different colour between it and the one above to clearly separate the community info?
Minetest, and in particular MineClone2. Always someone playing multiplayer also which is quite nice.

Mindustry is good fun also :)
Agreed. If they can get an English speaking engineering lead, they would have so many applicants, especially with recent layoffs.
A techie with both language skills would be highly valuable to them.
Even legacy codebases get migrated easy. SVN etc. belongs in a museum. Best red flag for dead end dev job.
Project zomboid had to start again after flat got burgled and laptop gone. Offsite backups are key for theft and fire. Version control is the easiest and cheapest way.
Someone always knows someone that drinks, smokes and eats crap and lives until mid 90s. Doesn't mean it's good health advice.
Beware anecdotal evidence.
Thanks for the update and information. You really set an example for communication and level headedness in decision making. Thanks for providing this space for us.
The community centre can be a really interesting place.
Going to the mines can also be quite rewarding.
