The practice of creating a 'vertical slice' makes games shallower because it requires that your game be a horizontal string of content chunks. If your game is a deep mesh of systems, vertical slicing works about as well as on a car engine or a baby.

This is very big because potentially it means people can get back to making indie custom engine games without having to write their own Vulkan+Metal+DX12+console API abstraction.
Doing something i haven't in a while, writing code to relax and wind down. i missed this.
Indie gamedev is going back to what it was like when i got started, few teams, few publishers, no funding.
After spending a day on a bug... I got it fixed! but i don't know why the fix was necessary... and now wondering if i should spend another day on figuring that part out.. but it was supposed to be a 15min fix originally, so spending another day on it seems wild.
there's this weird opinion I keep seeing where some people seem to think making a custom game engine is some kind of impossible task for insane people, equivalent to trying to build a space station in your backyard
It is interesting how much fewer programmers there are in indie gamedev, used to be a lot of folks from the demoscene and talking about advances and iDtech and all that.
Why game devs are best: Worked for several days on a workaround for nasty engine related bug without progress🪲. Unity even marked the issue as "won't fix"😭 It almost broke me. My last hope: A years old forum entry of a dev of a huge popular game (1/2)
Turns out, if you teach an entire generation of programmers to “never reinvent wheels”, you get an entire generation of programmers who are unable to invent new & better wheels, or who are incapable of maintaining the wheels that already exist
