@waldron very inspiring - like it
21:33 "dream no small dreams" "go big or go home" -> additional interpretation: its ok to start many WIPs just because it could be cool ;-)
29:02 "a game has a finite amount of resources" -> oh yeah, free-time, length of the night, he suggest to watch the scope and use "modular" principle: re-use wherever possible -

"An experimental game where you rewrite bread and it's sort of a parody."
Haha, what does that even mean. -
Idek lol it is random to generate ideas and is a true madness of silly ideas

An article about different approaches to AI for your baddies and npcs. Gives a quick overview from the very simplest to stuff I had to skip past to avoid a headache. Good to get you thinking though :)

@Doriphor I tried watching that video, it's 47mins long and by the time it got to 1 min and 9 seconds it was over my head and I had no idea what he was on about. lol

Nice article about designing video games bosses. Since that is exactly what I'm doing at the moment, I found it very interesting...

I have just found this page about making functions to play musical scales and chords. It walks you through it, beginning to end, full pseudocode.

I thought this was a great article about designing shmups. I really tried to take in as many of these tips as possible when designing my latest game.

I had posted this elsewhere already but posting here also for other people when they watch it. Tweening functions are just simple functions you do on a value between 0 and 1 and change how the value goes from 0 to 1. You can then use that value for things like positions, opacity, colors, scaling etc basically anything you can think off to "animate" certain things.
Here are 2 videos, the 1st video shows what you can do with tweening (and a bit of other things but it was mostly tweens) and the 2nd one shows the (simple) maths todo it. Fuze even has a build in smoothstep function.
what tweening can accomplish:
the maths (it's very simple)
