I started working on some GUI elements now that more complex stuff is settled
Still a long way to go but at least it is starting to look like an actual game

I don’t know anyone is feeling this:
As we gamedev grow in the our career, and hold senior/lead/director roles, we start to handle way more “game production” problems than “game development” problems, and not all people are interested/can adjust to that change.
We like to make games but we have to face those organizational problems while keeping our own passion lit + still have lives beyond work.
That’s not an easy feat, I see you and you are all heroes. #gamedev
I usually leave "visuals" as some sort of afterthought, which is weird as I was mainly a frontend developer for years.
The last two days were dedicated to fix the rendering pipeline in the game I'm writing, from obvious AI stitched code from thing to thing just to make it work
To a full parallelizable emitter architecture with command arrays, these commands then are given to MonoGame's to do the actual drawing.
I now feel confident that any changes I make to my rendering pipeline are predictable and won't break in weird stuff
adding a new rendering feature would likely be another command array with the same parallelizable potential.
As usual, F# gives me the confidence that refactors will still leave my codebase working whenever I have good domain types driving all the thing down to the last consumer

Question from a discussion: what would “convince” (hate the phrasing) you to try a game engine?
e.g the motivator (time excluded)?
Like a game jam is a good motivator for some. a good video course is for others..
What motivates YOU to step outside of comfort and try something new?
