It turned out to be related to Garbage Collection - mixing soft and hard references with smart pointers couldn’t end well.

❌ It is common that reported defects lack valuable information, such as logs or screenshots. You can always collect and automatically attach these elements when you implement in-game defect reporting. I added it to the engine, so it was not necessary to even open JIRA.

Game development has four critical phases: ‣ Ideation (vision & planning), ‣ Pre-Production (prototyping & vertical slice), ‣ Production (content creation & testing), ‣ and Finalization (bug fixing & launch). Nintendo invests significant time in pre-production with small, experienced teams, then ships flawlessly. Meanwhile, many developers struggle with post-launch fixes. The secret? Invest time early to save money later. Read on how to avoid the most crucial mistakes 👉 bit.ly/gd_pillars #GameDevelopment #ProductionProcess #GameDesign #GameProduction
