i've said it before but solo dev is fucking brutal, every day is just a cage match to the death between you and whatever problem you're up against

(this isn't to say that visual work is "easier", it's just less soul-draining for me to rework art numerous times than debugging code)

yall I'm not saying coding is boring or viz is easy or that i can't code, code is just more tiring/draining for me over time. not making a larger point lol

very relatable, tho flipped for me. finding the point where code works and won’t be hideous to come back to later seems pretty obvious, but art + design feels like this wishy-washy time sink where nothing is technically “correct” and I just spin on it forever
-
that's fair! in a sense it's harder to nail down art since it can't be "right" or "wrong" necessarily
-
totally understand tho after thinking more, I’ve never hit an art problem that made me so angry and tired I had to walk away to cool down. sitting down to program does feel like a fight scene setup

The thing I like about being a generalist is to rotate tasks, so I never get bored by doing same thing over and over
-
yeah I try to do a little bit of everything each day/implement stuff with art and code simultaneously, but I'm at a point rn where I need to push on mechanical/stabilization stuff and it's so taxing
-
I’m at the same point right now, core dev is in good place but it’s the endless small bugs that drive me crazy. I’ve been watching some tutorials on optimization and that’s helped in the sense of getting builds to start quicker, and that’s been a huge boon for me. Hang in there!!

Yes, but, I kind of appreciate that aspect of programming. It forces me to clarify fuzziness in my thought. When I think in my head or talk to other people, I can get away with thinking I understand things I don't really understand, but the computer will have none of that.
-
This, I believe, is the biggest hurdle for understanding devs/learning to dev. There is carrying degrees of grace and lack of precision in communication with humans. But computers require absolute precision down to exact punctuation. Lots of cognitive overhead required.

It's similar in that the result is always just iterated until it's "good enough". The problem I run into is that it's easier to grok a visual thing, so people can easily feed you encouragement. However, programming is so abstract that you don't as easily get that positivity.
-
It sucks to spend literally years making something that only a handful of people will find even remote interest in. It's demoralizing and exhausting.

I could write this same tweet but in reverse. The average player knows immediately when my visuals are sloppy but has no idea when my code is. It’s like they came over to my house and are like “oh! Your place looks great!” Having no clue I just pushed everything under the bed.
-
Clean code is mostly for your own sake really. Having good, scalable code will benefit you in the long run.
-
Hey I don’t make sloppy code on purpose! I’m just, what’s the word... oh yea - not good. I’m not good.

It’s definitely a different rhythm. Personally, what I find so compelling about programming is that “it works” catharsis. Even if a problem is difficult, eventually you will figure it out and feel great about it
-
Just thinking out loud, but as someone who is a programmer before other disciplines, I feel I am highly tuned to wait for that moment of “it works” to move on, and as a result am pretty bad about putting down more iterative tasks. especially game design

I absolutely loved coding as a kid, but these days I am just so fucking over it lol.

why i keep finding new sprites to create, instead of doing code
