@eric81766 I think the other angle is that ECS games that are running complex phyiscs simulations wouldn't work without ECS, while being significantly more interesting and marketable. You can see that on mobile right now. So I wouldnt dismiss ECS as a prof. indie....
English
good point:
"yolo coding", starts out easier and progressively gets harder
ECS on the other hand has a harder start
My main notion on this is that in the context of MOST indie games, the point where ECS becomes a better investment is never reached.

@walaber Looks awesome :) know you are using ECS, are you combining it with the old system? What has been your experience?

Great thread for a common problem in game dev programming

game devs: let's say you have a lot (100+) things of the same type (say magic spells in an RPG). What would you prefer: 1. a class for each, extending a base Spell class 2. a Spell class with a SpellType enum and the Cast() function has a big-ass switch w. case for each spell

If there is one Unity asset pack that saved me the most time, it has to be @_moremountains topdown shooter pack. I use it in EVERY project - it has tons of examples and utility scripts that i can't do without. Highly recommend!

@joakim_a Working with a publisher has been a great time-saver for me in this regard, as someone developing HC games part-time - that said, I'm still missing out some valuable knowledge by relying on someone else for UA of course, so this is a great insight!
English
One skill that hyper-casual devs should learn if they want to move to deeper games: smart UA. It's another thing to rely on the publisher's feedback on the game's marketability when compared to being in the weeds and figuring UA out on your own.

youtu.be/ncTINkPAbhQ Had a chat with @mechatodzilla on how he published his first game, among many other things! Very pleasant, inspirational chat, hope it motivates some folks out there. #gamedev #indiedev
