Today I was converting my project to use C++20 modules so that it compiles faster. At 25% conversion, the project compiles 50% slower. Numbers on my machine: Before: 20 seconds After: 30 seconds Should I have faith that at 100% conversion the build times will magically improve

Using game engines is hard in the long run.

My play time on Steam in my own game (in development.) My most played game that isn't my own is around 1100 hours on Steam, so soon my own game will be my most played game in my library!

A solo game dev wins with his primary skill and other skills being brought up enough to make a good game. Some dev's primary skill is art while learning enough coding to make a great game. What is my primary skill? Definitely coding!

A common mistaken advice: "work on a lot of small games, release 2 games a year and your game number X will succeed." Meanwhile Team Cherry working on their sequel for 7 years.

When I don't code my game, I code in Factorio. Also solar panels are evil.
