What's your least favorite thing about gamedev?

@CodeRed_dev Localization! And UI. For UI someone has to suffer. If the dev doesn’t suffer then the player does.

@CodeRed_dev Level design 💀

@CodeRed_dev Ugh, anything not related to the creation of the game itself. So marketing, making trailers, community work, the financial aspect etc. I've slowly grown to enjoy engaging with the community though. Many people who play our game are truly a great bunch of people.

@CodeRed_dev Marketing, as a whole

@CodeRed_dev Not exactly least favourite, but rather one that is the most difficult for me yet is character animation. I always respected animators, but now they are godlike entities in my eyes😂

@CodeRed_dev Working on small things that don't really make the game feel any more finished, but knowing these things have to be done regardless. 🩸

@CodeRed_dev It’s so damn hard to make it my full time job

@CodeRed_dev Still having a 9-5

@CodeRed_dev Hard to decide between designing interriors and getting no feedback from audience.

@CodeRed_dev Having to stop to go to my real job, but for real, it's those sessions where you're debugging for what feels like hours and the solution was something as stupid as a misplaced Capital letter 💀

@CodeRed_dev Documentation. A necessary evil.

@CodeRed_dev Fixing bugs that just do not wanna cooperate

@CodeRed_dev Cash flow.

@CodeRed_dev taking multiple weeks to fix a bug that could've been easily avoided if I just was more careful and didn't make any spelling or capitalization mistakes. this has happened to me twice now and I always feel dumb afterwards

@CodeRed_dev As a person who is not good at art Imma say making em assets and stuff

@CodeRed_dev waiting for artists. one thing that happens often in things like game jams, is that i'm constantly waiting for the artists to finish things like GUI assets that i need to finish things like the GUI i just HATE when that happens. seriously.

@CodeRed_dev youtuber found a bug ive never seen once in my 6 months of testing this on diff devices. i fold bro.

@CodeRed_dev The sheer amount of time it takes to make a good game

@CodeRed_dev Trying to find stuff to script something i'm unfamiliar with is a pain with all this worthless AI being forced in front of it on search engines

@CodeRed_dev Burnout. I moderate myself these days, but hittomg burnout is absolutely horrific. Also, employment opportunities. Also, marketing is a totally different set of skills.

@CodeRed_dev Time flies, it takes a lot of time to do anything properly

@CodeRed_dev Dealing with the reality that it can't be done solo in a economically scalable way that is not sheer luck.

@CodeRed_dev Animation and 3D Modeling, mainly just because of how long it can take

@CodeRed_dev good question.

@CodeRed_dev 0 cash

@CodeRed_dev Marketing. I feel like I have a great game but the hardest part is getting people to try it

@CodeRed_dev Music and animations🫠

@CodeRed_dev fundraising

@CodeRed_dev takes so much time

@CodeRed_dev I think we all know the answer: everything that is not "making games"

@CodeRed_dev the part where i dont know what to do

@CodeRed_dev ”Marketing” the game in social media etc. Just not my thing.

@CodeRed_dev Advertising and marketing.

@CodeRed_dev not enough standards

@CodeRed_dev Not having a team. Be a lot better if a bunch of us just worked on a AA or AAA to be honest. Since there’s a ton of us in here trying to do the same thing.

@CodeRed_dev Difficult to get discovered and make a living out of :(
