I'm slowly making my way through the Half-Life Alyx commentary track and man... game dev seems so cool. I know it's a lot of work but the problem-solving seems so interesting. If only I could focus enough to learn one (1) game engine

#i can muddle my way through twine but that's about it #i've picked up and put down tutorials for rpg maker and unity a couple times #i would love to do a game jam it seems like a good way to get started #but right now i wouldn't be useful to anyone on a team #i should probably set a more achievable goal of like. making some mario maker levels or something #anyway the hl:a commentary is really interesting #and i like that - just like some of the hl2 commentaries - they sometimes break you out of the game to show you how things are working #i just watched a part about how combine soldiers move around that showed how it dynamically calculates each foot placement along the path #so that it doesn't look like they're sliding along and they always turn to face you while moving #there was also an interesting one about how particle effects have to be built completely different in vr #and even the ones where they're not demonstrating they talk about the massive amount of playtesting they do #and how it changes the player experience #down to stuff like the destination marker when you teleport or balancing ammo quantities #ANYway #j rambles
